Buyer & Seller Support

Seller FAQs

  • Call us on the Freephone Number or Click on the Contact Section, Fill in all the relevant details and we'll get back to you within 12 Hours.  We'll then come out and meet you at your home so you can show us all the great things about your property.  We'll sit down and as a team work out a plan of action after we demonstrate all the great things LocalEyes Property can do for you....Pretty Simple Really.

  • As a Property Marketing Company we do not charge a commission.  We charge a Marketing Fee.  To keep things simple, If you do not choose to take us up on any extra services you will pay $7,500.  This is made up of two payments, first payment of $4000 at point of signing up (This is Non-Refundable) and $3,500 on Completion of the Sale of your Property.  In the unlikely event that your Property fails to sell then you will not be charged the 2nd Installment by LocalEyes.  Your Listing will be live on Localeyesproperty.co.nz until sold or unless you request us to remove your property.  We will keep your content fresh by changing descriptions and updating photos etc.  Any additonal services you may like will be invoiced at the same time as your first payment, these will need to be paid before additonal services are booked/started.

  • If there are changes that you want made to your listing just let us know.  You will be an instant message away from LocalEyes Property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Please note that location dependant, if you require a return site visit there may be a small charge...but more often than not, any updates will be made completely free of charge.

  • At this stage, LocalEyes Property only operates in Hawke's Bay.  If you are from outside this area please contact us and we'll see if we can make an exception.

  • No we don't, we don't need to and we don't want them!!  All these impressive new buildings that have popped up in the last couple of years prove just how much money has been made by the big players selling your homes.  The property that YOU, the homeowner lovingly improved, maintained and cleaned over and over again bought these companies swish new corporate buildings to impress more homeowners into selling your properties with them.  LocalEyes are trying to change all of this.

  • Well....they weren't always.  With the big increases we've seen on the value of most houses in NZ, the amount of commission paid has also risen (The problem with precentage based commissions)... But has the amount of work being done to sell these houses increased?  We would say NO, if anything in the current market, less work is being done - FOR MORE MONEY.  With the NZ Real Estate landscape dominated by the big players, they are unlikely to drop their prices anytime soon.  Unless homeowners make a stand, LocalEyes want to see a fairer system and keep your money in your pockets. Power to the People!

  • No we don't.  The perception that the bigger the team the better the result is a myth.  The general rule is 80% of Sales are Delivered by 20% of the Sale Force (LocalEyes are the 20%), the rest are just to pad out the numbers...Agencies are in great position in that the risk is very low from their point of view.

  • Real Estate Funders

    YES WE CAN!  Working with our friends at Real Estate Funders you can get your Listing Started for as little as $395, plus no payments for 3 Months.  In this time your home should have sold and the balance can be paid at settlement....EASY!  What's more, they will even fund some Pre Sale Home Improvements so LocalEyes can truly Maximise YOUR Sale Price. Ask the LocalEyes team for more details.

  • No we don't, once you accept an offer on your home from a buyer, both parties hand things over to the men and women in suits.  Your Lawyer and the purchasers Lawyer will liase between themselves for a nice smooth handover.  If you don't have a Lawyer please scroll down and look in our "LocalEyes Recommend Section" for details on some great local businesses that will be more than happy to help you.

  • LocalEyes are NOT Real Estate Agents and therefore NOT Licenced Real Estate Agency REAA.  LocalEyes are a Property Marketing company that offer a service where Homeowners like yourselves can make use of the abundance of information available to them in the public domain to conduct a Professional and Honest Sale of their home to a new owner.  Times have changed, information that was protected by the Real Estate Agencies is now freely available to the masses through the likes of homes.co.nz, oneroof.co.nz, QV, Trademe etc etc.  Conducting your Sale through LocalEyes ensures that the communication between parties is made in writing to protect both sides and ensuring honesty throughout the process.  

  • LocalEyes 100% recommends that both parties do all their checks. Speak to your lawyers, request a Builders Inspection of the Property you are interested in.  Whilst Conditions of Sale do definitely have an effect on whether your offer is accepted over others, when purchasing a property you need to feel comfortable with what you are doing.  If you don't know something...ASK, if you don't like something....SAY.  When Selling or Purchasing through LocalEyes your "Journey" will be recorded in writing, LocalEyes Recommend you keep this.

  • LocalEyes can add text authentication to your "extra content" meaning that if someone wants to have a virutal tour around your house or have a look at its layout using the interative floor plan that they will need to supply their mobile number and confirm an automated text message.  There is no cost for the potential buyer (We don't want to put real potential buyers off looking) but to activate the privacy system will cost $39.99.
