A three-bedroom home at 40 Lawrence Crescent, Hillpark. Marketed by Charlie and Liam Brothers, was sold under the hammer for $850,000.
The seller, Jamane (pictured above with Charlie and Liam Brothers), said she had lived in the home for more than a year.
“It was a beautiful open home, which we bought in order to upsize to a three-bedroom. But now we’re selling as we’re moving overseas,” she said.
“I trusted Charlie and Liam’s advice, they were very honest so I trusted them completely when they suggested going to auction, and I’m satisfied with the result.”
Ray White Manukau, Manurewa, Mangere and Mangere Bridge director Tom Rawson said there were a range of homes for a range of buyers.
“We had first-home buyers, investors, upsizers, downsizers - people from all walks of life - competing on the day. Different stories, but the same goal: they were ready to make a move,” Mr Rawson said.
“What played out in the room was exactly what auctions are all about: energy, confidence, and real decisions are being made.”
Ray White Manukau director of sales Richie Lewis said days like The Day were so rewarding to see the happy faces of buyers and sellers.
“I spent the day helping buyers and sellers sign contracts - seeing the smiles, the relief, and the excitement,” he said.
“That’s what it’s all about. Helping people take the next step in their journey is incredibly rewarding, and it makes all the effort that goes into these mega auction events worth it.”
