PR and marketing

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.

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.

“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.”

“In this case we are expecting many of the interested buyers to come from out of the Yamba area, as well as from within - an online auction definitely makes the bidding process easier for these bidders.”

 “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.
