How to be top bidder at Auction
Seeking your dream home at an auction? 🤔 Here are some top tips for becoming the leading bidder!
Auctions can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but fear not! If you're prepping to bid on a home, here's the lowdown on successful strategies.
One common mistake? Sitting back and waiting. But guess what? That actually gives others more confidence! 😬 Instead, come in guns blazing!
Arrive with plenty of confidence and a wholehearted commitment to give it your all. Show other bidders you're serious and won't give in easily. It's all about mental endurance!
On the big day? Start boldly! Open the bidding confidently at a fair price. When someone else bids, go straight over the top. Take control and maintain the momentum in your favour.
Bid boldly, bid confidently, and keep your cool!
One fantastic thing about auctions for you, the buyer? You can see the last bid, unlike in a private sale. That transparency can make all the difference!
So, gear up, bring your best game, and own that auction! Your dream home might just be a bid away! 🏠💫

Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
Should You Stay Home During Open Homes or Private Viewings? 🏡🤔
When you list your home for sale, you might wonder: should you be there during inspections? While it’s your home, many agents suggest stepping out during these moments.
Here’s why:
1️⃣ Protecting Your Peace 🛡️
Selling a home is an emotional journey, and potential buyers often share candid opinions about your home. While their feedback can be valuable, it might feel personal when you’re nearby. Stepping out helps you avoid any unintended stress or discomfort.
2️⃣ Creating a Comfortable Atmosphere 🌟
Buyers want to imagine themselves living in your home, and that’s easier to do when they feel at ease. Your presence, even with the best intentions, might make them feel like guests rather than potential owners.
💡 Pro Tip: Take a break—go for coffee ☕ or enjoy a walk in the park 🌳 during inspections. It can make a big difference for everyone involved.
