Game Day events are so effective, that they need to be planned ahead in the year.
It's one (if not the most) effective same method ice ever seen as a Real Estate Agent. Doesn't matter the market.

Every moves count to either a failed sale or big SOLD!

Selling a home in New Zealand typically takes 1 to 3 months. Key steps include getting a property appraisal, choosing a method of sale (auction, tender, or fixed price), and preparing a Sale and Purchase agreement with your lawyer. For official guidance, refer to the Settled.govt.nz guide by the Real Estate Authority.The house-selling journey generally breaks down into three distinct phases:
1. Planning and PreparationDocumentation: Gather your Certificate of Title and any council records, such as a LIM (Land Information Memorandum) report.Disclosures: Under New Zealand law, you must disclose known issues like unconsented work, weather-tightness, or boundary problems to potential buyers.Appraisal: Have a real estate agent evaluate your property’s value, or hire a registered valuer.
2. Going to MarketChoose a Sales Method: You can sell by Auction (public bidding), Tender/Deadline Sale (sealed confidential offers), or By Negotiation/Fixed Price.Marketing: This includes professional photography, open homes, and listing on platforms like Trade Me Property or real estate agency websites.
3. Closing the DealOffer and Negotiation: When an offer is made, you either accept, reject, or negotiate the terms.Conditional vs. Unconditional: Most standard offers are "conditional" (e.g., subject to a builder's report or buyer finance). Once conditions are met, the contract goes "unconditional" and the buyer pays a deposit (usually 10%).Settlement Day: On the agreed settlement date, your lawyer handles the legal transfer of the property, the buyer pays the remaining balance, and you hand over the keys.

It was a big punch to the guts but a bigger lesson that I still carry with me.
