Not every property or situation should default to auction. Adriano Persichetti, Chief Auctioneer and Senior Agent at Collings, explains when auction, private sale, or EOI delivers the best results in Preston & Melbourne’s north.
Understanding the Options
- Auction: Best for high competition, unique or tightly-held properties, investment property with motivated buyers, and situations where emotion plays a key role.
- Private Sale: Best for properties with a clear price range, less urgency, or for sellers who prefer privacy and more controlled negotiations.
- EOI/Silent Sale: May suit high-value, niche, or developer-owned stock needing time to field filtered interest.
Adriano’s Process
- Assessment: inspecting property, buyer pool, and unique features/negatives.
- Vendor advisory: evidence-led & campaign design.
- Guidance: calm, direct communication and negotiation; setting and adapting marketing as needed.
