Our Selling Methods

Private Treaty

Still the most popular method of sale in Brisbane, this sees buyers submit offers to the selling agent, who then negotiates to secure the best deal possible for the seller. The property can be listed on the market with or without a price; the buyer and the seller agree on price and contract conditions before the transaction proceeds.


Tender

Buyers are given a deadline to submit offers by, although the seller may accept an early offer. The property can be advertised without a price, or with “Offers from” a particular amount – your HICKS REAL ESTATE real estate agent will discuss the advantages of each with you. The buyer and seller agree on a price and contract conditions before the transaction proceeds. No other agency in Brisbane does more Tenders than us.  So if you are looking for the best, you have found us.


Discreet (Off Market Listings)

Occasionally, a seller requests their property be sold as quietly and privately as possible. We understand these wishes, and have a track record of being able to deliver a sale with minimal public exposure of the property. Buyers are sourced through our database, without the need for signage, press advertising, website listings or open home.
