AI summary

Selling your property by auction is a fast, popular method in NZ. Key benefits include attracting unconditional bids, creating competition where buyers focus on their maximum price, and a legally binding sale once the hammer falls.

Preparation involves a marketing campaign and setting a confidential reserve price with your agent. Attending the auction is crucial for making real-time decisions, especially if the property doesn't meet its reserve and requires further negotiation with interested buyers.
