What everyone should know about the Multi Offer process when buying a home

Matt from

Kia Ora
This process is designed to give all potential buyers an equal opportunity.

Want to know more about the multi offer process just have a chat with me.

It is not like an auction  where there can be multiple bids (offers) happening “live” with bidders (buyers) competing openly with one another to purchase the property being auctioned and the buyer is the person who pays the highest amount, out of all the participating buyers, that the Owners will accept. An Agreement is then automatically formed with the successful bidder ( buyer)


In a multi offer situation the seller is not obliged or required to accept any offer. They may accept one offer, reject all offers, or choose to negotiate further with one party.
Multi-offer processes can differ from agency to agency, but they can only be described as multi-offer when there is more than one offer in writing competing to buy the same property.

A multi-offer process can also be used if a property has failed to sell at auction or in a tender or deadline sale process . In these cases, an agent may initiate a multi-offer process where all interested parties are invited to submit their best offer.

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
