Well done Alistair Helm – you deserve a thumbs up!
There has been a lot of media coverage and attention paid to a Tractor being auctioned with a $1 RESERVE including a complimentary rural property on www.trademe.co.nz – if you’ve been reading the papers, watching the news and reading various blogs its no surprise that the property didn’t sell successfully by auction.
An example is the article on www.stuff.co.nz – CLICK HERE
The property is being professionally marketed by Kylie Anderson from Hacourts Gore - http://www.harcourts.co.nz/pcQSearch?qst=GO080805
Well after a bit of debate about the pro’s/cons of online auctions for property there’s been a positive development for the vendors – Alistair Helm has arranged a featured listing for this property on www.realestate.co.nz to help the vendors out.

Alistair this deserves a Thumbs Up in my book – good on you the vendors are obviously highly motivated to sell right now and absolutely appreciate the assistance you’ve given them. (I know this because I spoke to Kylie Anderson and the vendors)
I looked at the stats and prior to yesterday the highest traffic the listing had acheived was a high of 11 views on Monday 25 May – the vey next day traffic shot up to 278 viewings.
I spoke to the www.realestate.co.nz helpdesk today and they confirmed a two week featured listing is $250+GST – in my opinion this level of traffic in such a short time its a steal.
Such a dramatic change in traffic in one day is just awesome – I hope for the vendors and the Kylie Anderson that the increased exposure helps them secure the right buyer and finalise what must seem an elusive sale.
GOOD LUCK.

Credit were credit is due, you were the one to suggest that we offer her a featured listings.
I had a lovely chat with the owner this afternoon on the phone – she is rapt to have this exposure as is Kylie down at the Harcourts office in Gore – anything we can do to help Kylie, Harcourts and the vendor we are only too happy to do to support this industry.

Hi Mason,
Just to confirm – the featured listings are $250 including GST, so an even better deal!
