Auction or Sales Agent?

I have a property on Jan Smuts Avenue and had been trying to sell for nearly 4 years. During this time I had the property on sale with a number of agents and the best offer I received, which incidentally I turned down at the time, was the same amount I realised on auction. Except the monies were free of any agents commission or transfer fees and any VAT payable is payable by the Purchaser. When added to the price I received, this offer was almost a bar more in money in my pocket. I approached the 2 major property auction houses in Johannesburg and met agents for both and I decided to go with Daniel Wachenheimer from Auction Inc. Turns out, Daniel is a dealmaker extraordinaire. The marketing campaign was nationwide with the buyer coming in from Cape Town. In the weeks before the auction the area around the lodge was saturated in advertising which worked. After the sale was completed Daniel organised everything including the conveyancer and bridging finance. It was an absolute pleasure to have Daniel selling our property. Well done and keep it up.
