Selling your home after a separation doesn't need to create another dispute.
There are already enough decisions to make when a relationship ends.
Choosing an agent, determining the value of the property, agreeing on a sales method, approving marketing, managing access, considering offers and deciding when to sell can become difficult when communication between owners has changed.
That's where having a clear process matters.
At Calder & Co, we approach separation property sales with a strong emphasis on transparency, documentation and consistent communication.
Where both owners are clients, material information about the property campaign is communicated clearly to both parties so everyone understands what is happening throughout the sale.
We don't take sides in the relationship.
Our responsibility is the property sale.
CORE VALUE PROPOSITION
A property sale process designed for separation
01. Evidence-Based Market Appraisal
We begin with a detailed current market appraisal supported by relevant comparable sales and current Christchurch market conditions.
The same property evidence provides a common starting point for discussions around value.
02. Clear Communication
At the beginning of the process we establish how communication will work.
Important campaign information, buyer feedback, offers and recommendations are communicated consistently to the vendor clients, subject to agreed instructions and our professional obligations.
03. Agreed Sales Strategy
Auction, deadline sale, negotiation or advertised price?
We explain the advantages and considerations of each method and recommend a strategy based on the property, current market conditions and the circumstances of the sale.
04. Transparent Marketing
Marketing costs and the proposed campaign are agreed before launch.
Both owners can clearly see where the property is being advertised, how buyers are responding and how the campaign is progressing.
05. Documented Buyer Feedback
Open-home attendance, enquiry, buyer comments, online activity and relevant market feedback can be reported throughout the campaign.
This helps keep decisions centred on current market evidence rather than assumptions.
06. Professional Negotiation
When offers arrive, our job is to negotiate firmly for the best result available from the market while keeping the sales process clear and properly documented.
