Attracting Buyers and Creating a Competitive Environment

Well Thought Out Strategies
Quality marketing with appealing brochures

At Scarce Real Estate one of our key goals is to create a competitive environment so the best possible price and the most favourable sale conditions are achieved.  To reach that goal, we enlist the following elements when formulating our sales strategy: 

  • Quality marketing devised specifically to attract the greatest number of buyers.
  • A well considered set price, a price range or a no advertised price option.
  • Well-practiced, high level negotiation techniques (established and widely used within our business since 1957). 
  • The Scarce Real Estate Team consisting of highly trained and experienced professionals. 
  • Two qualified agents at open inspections when required.
  • Your choice of either a sale by private treaty, offers close, auction, public tender, expressions of interest, web only sale, database match-up or a discreet sale.
  • A smooth transparent ethical process that is open and honest with purchasers and our vendors.
  • Public open inspections, private appointments to view or a mixture of both.

The Art of Negotiation

Negotiation is an enormous part of the entire selling process and can sometimes be overshadowed by the latest fads and new glitzy marketing concepts favoured by some of today's agents.  We believe the sale of your most valuable asset should never be left to chance with the skills of a negotiator that is unproven and or unknown.

The refined and well-practiced negotiation skills you'll find at Scarce Real Estate have stood the test of time and have been handed down from one generation to the next.

Steeped in family tradition, negotiation has been well taught, well learnt and is highly prized within our agency.

We have no doubt clever and respectful negotiation is the key to achieving the best possible result.

Price is obviously an important factor, however the most favourable terms and conditions negotiated for a sale can be equally as critical. 

A sale with few or no conditions, with a settlement date and price that suits our vendor is always preferred. 

It's been said, "In safe hands tradition always has it's place", a statement that is certainly true with a proven  negotiator from Scarce Real Estate.
