A Southern Highlands property located in the picturesque village of Exeter will be offered for sale through Australia’s premier online auction provider SOLDONLINE.COM.AU, opening up the property to more buyers from outside the area.

SOLDONLINE.COM.AU allows for buyers to bid from anywhere, rather than being required to be present at an onsite auction. This service is ideal for properties in the Southern Highlands with buyers often being from other areas such as Sydney or Canberra.

The property will be marketed by McMillan Real Estate Bowral using SOLDONLINE.COM.AU, and a campaign with bidding starting on 9 April and ending on 14 April.

Howard McMillan, Licensee, McMillan Real Estate Bowral said, “With many of our vendors and buyers from outside the local region, the SOLDONLINE.COM.AU process makes a lot of sense.”

“The Highlands is a popular tree change destination, so we see buyers and vendors from Sydney and regional areas. It is perfect for them to not have to attend an onsite auction and they can bid from the comfort of their own home.”

“The online auction process provides a terrific alternative to the traditional property selling methods and is a concept that I think will really work in The Southern Highlands area,” said Mr McMillan.

Director of SOLDONLINE.COM.AU, Brian Edmonds said, “We have found that we have had fantastic results for properties in regional areas. We believe that online property auctions are the way of the future.”

“SOLDONLINE.COM.AU have in place a contract for sale and selling agents. It’s just the methodology that is different – it’s online rather than in an auction room or onsite,” said Mr Edmonds. 

The property is in an idyllic setting, with a spectacular outlook and will be a fantastic home for the lucky buyer. It is located 1km from the town centre at 4 Sheil Place and includes four bedrooms, two bathrooms and a double garage. The property has a scenic outlook and established gardens on approximately 3350m2 of land.

A spectacular vineyard in the prosperous wine region of Mudgee will be auctioned online to draw interest from around the world. 

The property has great potential and ample business opportunities and has great historical value as the property borders with the site of Australian writer Henry Lawson’s childhood home, where remains of the house still exist. 

The property will be marketed to potential buyers by Spencer & Servi First National in Surry Hills and co marketed by Peter Druitt & Co in Mudgee using SOLDONLINE.COM.AU, an online auction campaign with bidding starting on 17 November and ending on 1 December. 

The property is currently owned by eight Sydney businessmen who bought the property eight years ago as an investment and lifestyle opportunity. They are selling the property to focus on their separate business and career pursuits. 

Clive Poolman one of the eight joint owners said, “The property has spectacular views over the Mudgee region, has well established vines and is the perfect opportunity for someone looking for a lifestyle change and business opportunity. We have really enjoyed spending weekends here for the last eight years.”

“The online process works for us as it provides bidders with 14 days to make informed decisions, but also gives us time to make our own decisions. With eight joint owners, this is the perfect solution,” said Mr Poolman.

David Servi, Director, Spencer & Servi First National said, “This is a great property with enormous potential. We have chosen to sell the property through SOLDONLINE.COM.AU to open up the property to more potential buyers.”

“The online method that SOLDONLINE.COM.AU provides makes the bidding process easier, allowing bidders to bid from the comfort of their own home eliminating the need for unnecessary travel to the site.” 

“With many buyers expected to come from outside the local area, and with eight joint vendors also from outside the area, the SOLDONLINE.COM.AU online auction process makes perfect sense,” said Mr Servi. 

Director of SOLDONLINE.COM.AU and Licensed Real Estate Auctioneer, David Scholes said, “Nearly 80 percent of properties are researched online, so it makes sense to have auctions online as well.”

“We have made auctions accessible for a greater range of bidders who can register and bid from wherever they are at their own convenience. This way both buyers and sellers have increased flexibility and can make their decisions from the comfort of their own home in their own time,” said Mr Scholes. 

The property is 51.5 hectares with a well established six hectare vineyard complete with 11 X 13 metre cellar door or studio facility which has in the past been used for weddings and has great business potential. 

The property also includes a four bedroom plus office home as well as a separate two bedroom cottage, a double lock up garage, a large dam, bore and a rainwater tank. 

The property can be viewed online here.

SOLDONLINE.COM.AU is Australia’s premier online property auction provider that provides simple, secure and stress free online property auctions for residential, commercial and rural properties. 

The Surf Motel was marketed by Garry Strudwick Real Estate to potential buyers using the online auction campaign with bidding starting on 13 August and selling for a price of $1,922,000 on 23 August 2010.

Director of SOLDONLINE.COM.AU and Licensed Real Estate Auctioneer, David Scholes said, “SOLDONLINE.COM.AU allows prospective buyers to bid from anywhere in the world allowing for a greater variety of bidders.”

“The process gives buyers more control in the bidding process allowing decisions to be made in their own time wherever they are.”

“The property was visited in excess of 1,500 times over a ten day period and 23 contracts were downloaded with 8 registered bidders from Western Australia, the New England area, the Hunter Valley and Queensland.”

“The Yamba Surf Motel was a wonderful opportunity to buy a prime piece of Yamba real estate with an already high occupancy rate and a zone 2 (t) tourism allowing for future redevelopment options,” said Mr Scholes.

Owner of The Surf Motel, Yamba, Jan Dampney said, “I am delighted with the results achieved through SOLDONLINE.COM.AU. An extraordinary 27 bids were received during the bidding time leading to an excellent result.”

“SOLDONLINE.COM.AU allows interested parties to bid online from the comfort of their homes or offices.”

“Agents all over Australia could use this excellent method of auction to achieve similar results,” said Mr Dampney.

SOLDONLINE.COM.AU are at the forefront of reinventing the way that property is bought and sold in Australia and having proved the system throughout NSW is now entering the Queensland market. 

Ken Callac, Principal of Yes Property has already listed two properties, an ocean front home in Bargara, his own home also in Bargara and is currently in the process of listing additional properties in the Bundaberg area. 

 “In today’s market a vendor needs to capitalise on everything they can to maximise return and SOLDONLINE.COM.AU is by far the simplest and best method that has been offered to help do this for a very long time.” 

“SOLDONLINE.COM.AU has proven to be a very convenient way of buying and selling properties and will serve to be a medium that we will be using more and more in the future.”

“SOLDONLINE.COM.AU has proven to be successful in NSW and a process that I totally believe in. I have listed my own house to experience the selling process first hand,” said Mr Callac.

Jack Brislee, Director of Pacific Rim Business Brokers is also making the most of online auctions and has currently listed two Queensland properties including a DA approved 61 lot subdivision in Calliope and a DA approved 23 lot subdivision in Toowoomba’s growth corridor, Cambooya. 

“SOLDONLINE.COM.AU has already helped generate three times the usual enquiry rate for similar subdivisions.”

“Buyers like the fact that the property is definitely on the market and the vendor is committed to sell, while sellers are attracted to online auctions because they only produce genuine buyers,” said Mr Brislee.

Director of SOLDONLINE.COM.AU and Licensed Real Estate Auctioneer, David Scholes said, “Nearly 80 percent of properties are researched online, so it makes sense to have auctions online as well.”

“We have made auctions accessible for a greater range of bidders who can register and bid from wherever they are at their own convenience. This way both buyers and sellers have increased flexibility and can make their decisions from the comfort of their own home in their own time.”

 “As people are becoming increasingly time poor, the world more global and people more computer literate, online auctions will quickly become a favoured alternative. Online auctions are the way of the future,” said Mr Scholes.
