  • Social media advertising across platforms such as Facebook

Premium Sales Service (Optional Upgrade)

For clients looking to maximise their property’s market exposure, we offer a Premium Sales Service.

With this option, vendors pay upfront for enhanced marketing including:

  • Professional photography
  • Detailed floor plans
  • Optional property video tours
  • Optional aerial drone photography and videography

The sales commission remains the same (1.32% of the final sale price), but there is no fixed sole agency term — offering you greater flexibility throughout the sale process.

This service is ideal for sellers who want to create maximum impact and attract a wider pool of serious buyers.

Sell Your Property by Online Auction

At Collyers, we also offer the option to sell your property through our Traditional Online Auction platform, powered by Bamboo Auctions.

This modern method combines the speed, security and competitive bidding of a traditional auction with the convenience of online access — all fully managed by our team.

Key Benefits of Selling via Online Auction:

  • Speed: Immediate exchange of contracts once the auction ends
  • Certainty: Buyers are legally committed, reducing risk of fall-throughs
  • Best Price: Competitive, transparent bidding process
  • Reserve Price Protection: You set a confidential minimum price
  • International Reach: Over 70,000 buyers worldwide through our platform

How It Works:

  • Your property is listed with detailed descriptions, professional imagery, and optional video or drone footage.
  • Bidders compete online over a set time period.
  • Once the auction closes (and the reserve is met), contracts are exchanged instantly.
  • Completion typically occurs within 20 working days.

Flexibility

You retain the right to accept offers before the auction ends if desired.

No Sale, No Fee:

If your property doesn’t sell at auction, there is no cost to relist.
