Real Estate in Botany and Botany Downs

Selling in Botany

Botany is all about convenience. Botany Town Centre, on the corner of Ti Rakau Drive and Chapel Road, has more than 200 stores along with restaurants, cinemas, medical services and a library. Its bus interchange links you to Howick, Pakuranga, Flat Bush, Manukau and the city. The Eastern Busway is also planned to end at the town centre.

Next door, Botany Downs was farmland until the mid-1970s, when it was developed for housing. Today it’s an established family suburb, with Botany Road running through it and Botany Creek winding west to Pakuranga Creek. Families often look at Botany Downs School, Elim Christian College, Botany Downs Secondary College and Howick College.

Buyers here tend to know exactly what they want, so a home that is well presented and well priced stands out.

Auctions and appraisals with Richard

Richard White is Branch Manager and Auctioneer for Harcourts Howick, Botany and East Tamaki, and he has been working in Auckland real estate since 2009. He believes in listening first. Selling a home can be stressful, and he takes the time to understand your plans before recommending a way forward.

If auction is the right fit, the market sets the price and competition does the work. If your home is passed in, the buyers who were active in the lead-up are still there to negotiate with. Richard will also share simple ways to lift your first impression, like brighter lighting, less clutter and a few fresh plants.
