AI summary

Selling your home by auction in New Zealand offers a fast, legally binding sale process. It encourages buyers to focus on their maximum price and provides the significant advantage of receiving unconditional bids.

Your confidential reserve price can attract a wider pool of buyers. A strong pre-auction offer may bring the auction forward. If the property is "passed in," your attendance is vital for making immediate decisions, like negotiating with the highest bidder or adjusting your reserve price.
