Welcome to property auctions with EVES
Believe it or not, auctions are one of the oldest and most successful methods of sale however they aren’t just a traditional method of sale, they are a dynamic negotiation platform where eager buyers meet willing sellers, facilitated by our expert auctioneers.
Selling by Auction
Auctions are a highly transparent process enabling buyers to observe their competitors’ actions throughout the auction call. When a property is sold at auction the sale is unconditional, and a non-refundable 10% deposit is required to be paid. The entire process can be broken down into three key phases;
Where all buyers are made aware that a property is for sale. This phase identifies prospective buyers and we work with them to achieve a cash unconditional sale on or before auction day.
Where all-cash buyers are given the opportunity to compete and purchase the property at the same time. This happens in real-time, ensuring a fair and transparent sale.
If your property did not sell, we tap into interested parties from phase one – including those who are in a conditional position but were unable to compete on a cash basis. Here you are able to draw on the market insights and make informed decisions.
Why choose auctions when selling your property? Let's count the ways:
- Control: You set the terms that suit you best
- Cash is King: Say goodbye to financing woes with confirmed cash sales
- Level Playing Field: Buyers can't guess the value without seeing it firsthand
- Inclusive Bidding: Anyone with cash can participate
- Confidentiality: Keep your price expectations under wraps with confidentiality
- No Backing Out: Once the hammer falls, the deal is done
- Quick Turnaround: Spend less time on the market, more time celebrating
- Sense of Urgency: Buyers act fast when the clock is ticking
- Deadline: Auction day is decision day, no drawn-out negotiations
- Friendly Competition: Buyers compete against each other, not against you
- Flexibility: Customise terms to suit individual buyers
- Maximum Exposure: Shine the spotlight on your property within your budget
- Valuable Feedback: Gain insights directly from the market, helping you make informed choices
- Skilled Auctioneers: Our seasoned auctioneers ensure you get top dollar
- Secure Transactions: A 10% deposit seals the deal, no second-guessing
Worried about pressure? Don't be. We believe in empowering owners to make the right choice for them. If the offer meets your goals, it's a win. As for costs, our commitment to your success means we provide our auctioneer within our Marketing Campaign, at no extra charge.
Buying at Auction
Buying at auction is the most transparent way to buy a property when there is competition, as you can see and/or hear what others are doing. This provides a base to make sound decisions on whether to proceed further in your pursuit to purchase the property. Some people fear they will be forced beyond their limits at auction, however, there is a simple protection for this. We advise buyers to approach an auction with sound knowledge of their ceiling price and don’t go beyond it.
Informational Videos Available
To support you through the auction process, we offer informational videos for both buyers and sellers, ensuring everyone feels confident and informed throughout the process. These will be sent to you by our auctioneer during the relevant stage of your marketing campaign.

Hear what others say about EVES auctions
"I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge EVES for the fantastic outcome of the auction. I would also like to thank you for a most brilliantly run and entertaining auction. Over the 4 week period where our house was on the market we were inundated with enquiries and views, sometimes averaging 1 a day over the course of a week (not including open home viewers) and at one point 165 “watchers” on Trade Me. In my view, this is a direct result of the emphasis put into promoting our house. My wife and I followed the advice given and the outcome far exceeded our expectations. I will recommend EVES to anyone I meet who is thinking about selling".

"Initially we were reluctant to go to auction, however after attending the vendor’s seminar that Grant Child presented we felt we had made the right choice. Grant’s knowledge; experience and professional approach assisted us with the pre-auction process and on the day. We only had one bidder and Grant provided us with a strategy that worked, resulting in the sale of our property. We would highly recommend the auction process and Grant as a skilled auctioneer".
- Dave & Ailsa Cowdrey
"Our property went to Auction and EVES kept the prospective purchasers interested right through to the auction. A very important part of the whole process is to get a quality auctioneer who communicates with bidders and positively encourages them to bid. We selected Grant Child. Grant was a great auctioneer and we would highly recommend him to future sellers. To sell a property you must have all the key elements and people from the start to finish. We are very satisfied with our result and would highly recommend EVES Realty and we also highly recommend Grant Child as your auctioneer".
