Selling Your Home in Howick

Selling in Howick

Howick has a character all of its own. It was founded in 1847 as a fencible settlement and grew from a small English-style village into one of East Auckland’s best-loved suburbs. The village is still the heart of it, with All Saints’ Church, the Howick Domain and Waipaparoa / Howick Beach all close by, and Mellons Bay and Cockle Bay either side.

Buyers come here for that village feel, the beaches and well-known local schools such as Howick Primary, Owairoa Primary and Howick Intermediate. When you sell in Howick, you’re selling the lifestyle as much as the house. Good preparation and a clear marketing plan help buyers see it.

Auctions and appraisals with Richard

Richard White has been selling Auckland property since 2009. He is Branch Manager and Auctioneer for Harcourts Howick, Botany and East Tamaki. On auction day he keeps things calm and well organised, so buyers and sellers both know what to expect.

An auction gives you a short, focused campaign, usually three to four weeks, with unconditional buyers and a price set by genuine competition. It isn’t right for every home, though. Richard will talk you through auction, deadline sale and negotiation, and help you pick the method that suits your property and your timing.

The best place to start is a free market appraisal. Richard will walk through your home, look at how it compares with recent local sales, and give you a straight answer on where it sits in today’s market.
