Doug Futter and the team at Century 21 Gold Real Estate Manurewa are the people to see if you want the best possible price for your home.

 

Doug recently sold a house on Ruth Street for $555,000 – that’s over $100,000 over the reserve price. The price is a staggering effort for the Ruth Street property, which was appraised between $390,000 to $440,000.

 

Vendor Susan Hermon couldn’t be happier with the result. “The outcome had far exceeded anything we could have expected. It felt quite surreal,” she said. “We were ecstatic.”

 

Susan and her husband, Colin, had bought the house through Doug five or six years ago, and Doug had stayed in contact. “Doug has always been approachable and never pushy,” said Susan. The care that Doug had put into maintaining their relationship was the reason the Hermons immediately thought of Century 21 Manurewa when deciding who would help them sell this time around.

 

Selling the house was simple.  Doug advised the Hemons that an auction would achieve the most success, and from there he took them through a strategy which involved open homes, traditional advertising and constant communication, often adjusting their approach based on the feedback and concerns from potential buyers.

 

The strategy generated a huge amount of interest, with 50 groups of people viewing the home and over 60 people attending the auction. A total of 37 bids were recorded, as the property was hotly contested. The Century 21 Manurewa team were also there to provide support on the day, promoting the property and answering questions.

 

Doug Futter says: “Our job is to get the best possible result for the vendor on the day, and we succeeded.” He has more than 20 years experience in the real estate business, and he says the keys to making a good sale are simple. “Presentation is the most important thing. Be realistic about your prices [and] be guided by your agent.” Your real estate agent knows the best strategies to get the most out of your sale.
