THE RAY White Taylors Lakes team achieved a 100 per cent clearance rate at last night’s online auctions after booking back to back inspections since Monday.
Five properties went under the hammer with Ray White Victoria Chief Auctioneer Matthew Condon (pictured above) calling the night time session from his spare bedroom at home. The Melbourne agency sold five from five for a combined total of $2,788,750 as 135 viewers watched on.
Many of the bidders who tuned in to the Wednesday night auctions originally saw the properties through short private one on one inspections done throughout the start of the week.
The office had booked more than 60 private inspections following Sunday’s eased real estate restrictions. Ray White Taylors Lakes Principal Peter Travlos said collectively the team had 15 minute private inspections booked back to back each day.
“We’re feeling confident again, there’s a brighter light now that the private inspections ban has been lifted,” Mr Travlos said.
“If anything, last night just proved to a lot of our potential sellers that there is still hope for them and now know that we can facilitate a sale for them and there are certainly the buyers out there willing to commit.
“It’s given our sellers a new lease on life and confidence knowing there’s an agency out there that will help and get them where they need to be.”
The Taylors Lakes Principal added that the team has planned to keep moving forward with online auctions after already conducting 50 since lockdown began in March.
“Based on last night and what’s been happening we’ve been able to refine our online process,” Mr Travlos said.
“It also proves to all of us that we’ve been getting similar if not better results through online auctions than what we were doing through in-rooms and onsite.
“And that’s the biggest hurdle for anyone in the industry, especially when you are trying to innovate and create something you’ve never done before.” |
