Vendordoor. Your Move

Vendordoor. Your Move The New Zealand guide to selling Real Estate privately and commission free. In short, I have learnt a lot. That’s the Vendordoor way.

Hi, my name is John Le Brun and I have been a full time property investor for over 22 years. Through that time I have worked and invested individually, in partnerships and in syndicates. I have invested and been involved in a broad range of property from flats, houses, lifestyle blocks, apartment blocks through to commercial and inner city holdings. I have learned a lot about people, real estate a

gents, the industry, what drives and motivates buyers and sellers, and most importantly what actually sells property, what creates competition, what appeals to buyers and what sellers can do to get themselves into the best possible position to achieve both a timely sale and the best possible sale price. In an industry that is widely mistrusted I learned that ethics, transparency, honesty and trust play a big part in achieving the desired outcome. At the very beginning I studied and passed the real estate sales persons course to both broaden my knowledge and give me the insights to better understand and be able to effectively negotiate with agents when pursuing property. I have also used that knowledge and subsequent experience to sell many of my own properties through the years. This guide isn’t a slant against real estate agents, in my experience they are just like any other industry, there are the really good ones, the average and the bad ones. The fact is, we are living in challenging times, the cost of living is through the roof, people are struggling with inflation and just meeting the costs of basic survival. Some have even been forced to borrow money to meet the rising cost of living. This is affecting home owners as well, I know of people wanting to sell but don’t even have the available funds to meet the upfront costs of going to market. Then of course when you do sell there is the unescapable real estate agent’s commission... On an 800k home that equates to $32,200.00 including GST using the standard 3.5% rate + GST. This guide was born out of wanting to provide an alternative model for people who would dearly like to avoid those commissions and are prepared to put in just a little more effort in selling their home. Let’s face it, you’ll do 85% of what’s required anyway. The focus was to provide ways to save significant money with the option of being backed up by direct support via phone/email should it be needed. In the guide/system there are specific and detailed steps, mindsets, tips and attitudes that relate directly to selling your own property. It’s said that knowledge is power but that’s only really true if you apply it, I provide the action steps needed plus the mindsets required to actually follow through and use that knowledge to your lifelong advantage. I have been asked who will use this guide and an easy answer would be to say anyone that wants a clear and well laid out system to initially save a significant amount of money on the sale of their property and learn the skills and mindsets to continue saving and making more money for years to come but there is more to it that just that…
I envision ethical sellers/people who recognize that there is a right and wrong way to go about things. I reflect on the untold lies that I have been fed throughout the years, the undisclosed aspects of the property, the covering up and hiding of defects and I just shake my head in disbelief. I believe that karma is a real thing so if you have any underhanded or dishonest intentions with the selling of your property then please don’t buy this guide, it won’t be for you. It’s about selling and buying with confidence and transparency. It’s not just about property, it’s also about people, respect, transparency and mutual trust.

HOW DO YOU BUY A HOME WHEN YOU HAVE ONE TO SELL?

It can be challenging and expensive putting in conditional offers particularly the all too often deal breaker ‘CONDITIONAL ON SELLING A PROPERTY’. When that condition is added it increases the chances of missing out against cash ready buyers and the more it happens the more that it costs you through time, effort, due diligence expense and sheer frustration.
What options do you have?

1. Bridging Finance. This type of finance is typically done through a bank and is ok if your house sells quickly but can be expensive if it takes a while. It’s also not an easy finance to get approved for so think hard on this option and assess whether it’s right for you and your personal circumstances.

2. Get that unconditional offer on your property first and then go house hunting. You would no doubt have a short list of property that you’ve already checked out so you would be able to move quickly but the risk is the ones you like the most have offers on them already by the time you go unconditional.

3. Sell your property with a long settlement period, say 2 - 4 months, giving yourself ample time to find a property that you like. This option has the best chance of working with cash ready buyers who are often more flexible over settlement times.

4. Sell and rent for 3/6/9/12 months. The downside is paying rent, the upside is plenty of time to find the right property for you and to negotiate a sharp buying price to offset or even cover the cost of short term renting. The type of seller you need to find to negotiate with is a motivated seller, one who needs to sell quickly for whatever reason and will consider selling below value. They are out there but can take time to find.

5. Keep putting in conditional offers until you manage to secure a conditional agreement giving you time and an opportunity to sell your property. Try and push out the confirmation date a few extra weeks beyond the normal time to give yourself the best chance of finding a buyer. I would use the deadline method of sale to tie in with the time frame in this situation.

As you can see there are a few options available, each with their own pros and cons, only you know your personal circumstances and only you can decide which is best for you.
Don't forget that if you can get a vendor or purchaser to agree to something, you can make it part of the contract. Never be timid in going for what you want!

'On average if you can save say 25 - 30 thousand dollars on commission and fees, and if you learn about and apply cost effective ways to add value to your property and end up 10 - 15+ thousand better off on your sale price, what does that give you? Choices. It gives you choices and greater freedom to express yourself whether that is through starting a side hustle, investing for income, buying a new car, taking a holiday learning about and investing in stocks or whatever passion/interest is inside of you, you will have the freedom to make new choices'.
