Rea Estate History Made 💥

Last Thursday night Ray White Carpenter Realty (Beach Haven | Verrans Corner | Glenfield) called 4 Auctions, remotely from our living room inside a bubble of two!

With Covid-19 locking us down this week, the team adapted to a huge challenge of working remotely for our clients & proceeding in hosting our Auctions. Agents spoke to buyers through telephone bidding, while on a google hangouts video call to the screen in front of the Auctioneer.

A live stream was set up with Auctions Live to make sure both buyers & sellers felt comfortable and see what was happening!

Incredibly, the market is still moving with multiple buyers on properties, strong bidding and 2/4 sold under the hammer!!

@raywhitecarpenterrealty committed to finding a way for their clients to transact all within the Parameters of a lockdown!

Along with @apolloauctionsnz, @auctions_live, Ray White Carpenter Realty were the first & only agency to create Remote Auctions online throughout Australasia 🌟

Technology has never been more important, it has definitely changed how we do Real Estate.
