Introduction
Owners often ask if high marketing spend is needed to sell blocks of units. Simon Abbott explains his approach, and shares real-world results that challenge conventional wisdom for Victoria’s investor market.
Conventional Marketing Paths
- Big portals: REA/Domain, print, social ads
- Brochures, signboards, premium add-ons
Simon’s Data-Driven Approach
- Leverages his private buyer/investor database
- Real case: block sold off-market at higher value after previous agents spent $20k+ without a result
Where Should Owners Invest?
- Professional photos and honest floorplans matter
- Buyer packs and clean documentation impress real investors
Pitfalls to Avoid
- Overspending on print or non-targeted portal listings
- Letting a mediocre agent dictate required spend without backing it up with evidence
Takeaways
- For blocks of units, “database and deal governance” often outperform raw spend
