Auction bidding & negotiation

Auction bidding in Melbourne, led by a former auctioneer

Whether the home goes to auction or sells by private treaty, the other side does this every day. So do we. Lou is a former selling agent and auctioneer, so we bid and negotiate on your behalf, on a clear plan and without the emotion that makes buyers overpay.

Why use a bidder

The room is designed to make you pay more

An auction is built to push you past your limit: the crowd, the pace, the pressure. When we bid for you, none of that lands on you. We set the strategy and your limit beforehand, read the room on the day, and bid with discipline.

You stay in control, because someone who has run hundreds of auctions is standing in your place.

Auction bidding

A clear path to auction day

We do the preparation and the bidding, so you go into auction day with a plan and a firm limit.

01

Initial consultation

We learn the property, your budget and your absolute limit, and agree the plan.

02

Property and value

We assess the home and give you an independent view of what it is truly worth.

03

Bidding strategy

We set the approach, the opening, the pace and the walk-away number before auction day.

04

Auction representation

Lou bids on your behalf, calm and disciplined, so emotion never sets the price.

Private sale & off-market

Not going to auction? We negotiate the deal

Many of the best buys are private sales and off-market homes, where the price is won at the negotiating table. We handle that for you too.

01

Property and value

We establish what the home is genuinely worth before any offer is made.

02

Tailored strategy

We shape the approach around your brief, the vendor and the market.

03

Market and vendor insight

We read the seller’s position and motivation to find your leverage.

04

Favourable terms

We negotiate not just price but terms, deposit, settlement and conditions, in your favour.

At auction, the buyer with a plan beats the buyer with feelings, every time.

Whether we are bidding or negotiating for you, you have one point of contact throughout.

Auction bidding and negotiation, your questions answered

+Do I need your full service to use this?
No. Auction bidding and negotiation are standalone services. If you have already found the property, we can simply bid or negotiate for you.
+What happens on auction day?
We agree your limit and strategy beforehand, and Lou bids on your behalf, so you do not have to.
+Can you negotiate a private sale or off-market purchase?
Yes. If it is not going to auction, we negotiate the price and terms directly with the agent or vendor.
+Do you advise how much to pay?
Yes. We give you an independent view of the property’s value before you commit, so your limit is based on evidence, not hope.
+Which areas do you cover?
Melbourne’s inner and bayside suburbs, and beyond by arrangement.
