  • South Auckland update from Don Ha

    My cousin got this email from Don Ha. It's good to hear that things are moving again in South Auckland. $38 million in one month in one office is very encouraging indeed. No wonder Mr Ha is so rich, the commission on that must be huge!
    Very good to hear first home buyers coming back down there too.
    I was really excited to read this.

    Dear Jane,
    There's an upbeat mood to the Don Ha Real Estate office and it's not just because of the record numbers for the month of March.

    The news has filtered through that we are the clear winner in the top office category in the Ray White Group's annual awards. It's great news and is a credit to the staff, vendors and our clients. It's also no surprise to me that we are on track for a record year.

    Since we moved to our new premises on Osterley Way in Manukau City, we have taken on 34 new staff. That means we have 85 people servicing our business and I'm actually hopeful that by the end of the year that number will be up to 100. By 2011, I am confident those numbers will be doubled.

    The key to our success has been our ability to show leadership throughout the recession. At all times, but especially in a tougher market, vendors need leadership and mentoring. If you are a strong agent you can tell them honestly what price they should expect and they will listen to you. We have built a reputation for this and as a result people will come to us for help and advice.

    I was asked the other day what I attribute my success too. Well I am willing to walk the street side by side with my salespeople, meet the vendors and do the business. I'm also very honest with my staff - if I make a mistake, I admit it and if they make a mistake, I tell them. If you have the honesty and transparency in the way you operate it trickles through to your relationship with the people we do business with.

    It all means that when people come to us to sell or buy a house, they know that they will get the best service available without all the smoke and mirrors which sometimes can cloud the real estate world. And there are plenty of people wanting to do business despite many people still complaining about the after effects of the recession. We turned over $38 million in the month of March. People who have lots of properties are selling and people with one or two are buying again. There are also lots of first-time buyers dipping their toes into the market which is encouraging.

    We can have as many as 3000 properties on our books at any one time so if you are looking to buy, sell or even just make an enquiry about how to go about buying your first property, then we have the staff to help you. There's no point just scanning the Property Press and not getting involved in the thrill of a purchase. Yes, it can be daunting. But here at Don Ha Real Estate we have the expertise to walk you through the finance side of things and the listings to ensure we find the right property for you.

    So, if you are on the sidelines, get in the game. Come visit our award winning office - the fastest growing real estate office in the country.

    Regards,
    Don Ha

    A couple of bits of that were interesting:

    Since we moved to our new premises on Osterley Way in Manukau City, we have taken on 34 new staff. That means we have 85 people servicing our business and I'm actually hopeful that by the end of the year that number will be up to 100. By 2011, I am confident those numbers will be doubled.

    85 Sales staff? 200 in 2011? Crikey.

    The key to our success has been our ability to show leadership throughout the recession. At all times, but especially in a tougher market, vendors need leadership and mentoring. If you are a strong agent you can tell them honestly what price they should expect and they will listen to you. We have built a reputation for this and as a result people will come to us for help and advice.

    This is just vendor conditioning by another name. A euphemism. Vendors need leadership and mentoring? Again, crikey. I'd stay well away from these guys if I was selling.
    Squadly dinky do!

      I sold a place thru ray white and had several offers in 3 days.
      Yes the investors came in with low blows/ ofers.

      But i weeded them out and ended up taking a quick unconditional sale that was close to my estimate of value.

      I cant complain.

          Hi Whitt, may I ask. Was your estimation of value close to that of a Registered Valuer in this market?

            I am not sure since I did not get a reg valuation.
            I went with my experience and gut feeling on what I calculated a realistic value should be
