NOOSA4SALE Principal Alex Harris has put her hand up as lead sponsor of the upcoming Noosa Mayoral Ball with a unique auction item for the 31 July event.
Because selling the family home is often the largest investment most people will ever make, Ms Harris is donating a full real estate sale campaign at absolutely no cost, no cap, no strings attached.
“I decided to throw my support behind the event after learning monies raised from the Ball will benefit domestic violence survivors through SunnyKids Cooroy Family Support Centre.
“Domestic and family violence is a real and present danger for so many in our community. Of the many charitable organisations I’ve supported over the years, this has the deepest connection for me.
“With an injection of funds, SunnyKids will be able to expand their services in the Noosa Shire to support the ever-increasing incidents of domestic violence by providing emergency counselling and early intervention programs,” Alex said.
The NOOSA4SALE prize is available to sellers of residential property located in the Noosa Shire – whether home or investment – that will be listed for sale within the next 12 months from 1 August, 2021. This prize is inclusive of agency fees and all marketing expenses.
With agents’ fees currently between 2.75 per cent and 3.3 per cent of sale price, plus marketing costs, the sale of a property in Noosa can be anywhere from $30,000 to $100,000-plus, depending on the value of the property.
As an example, by bidding on this auction item you might be able to buy a $50,000 campaign for as little as $10,000.The higher the value of property you have to sell, the greater the potential savings to you.
And to make the auction prize more accessible to the general public, your “bid” can be pledged – so no exchange of money is required upfront – with the amount deducted from settlement funds when your house is sold.
Ball organising committee coordinator, Josanne Falla, said she was overwhelmed by Ms Harris’ generosity and said the ‘real estate sale campaign’ auction item was one which she hoped would attract lots of interest.
“This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for someone to sell a property for a fraction of the real cost. So if you’re thinking about selling a Noosa property any time over the next 12 months, or simply want to help those most in need, make sure you place a bid or pledge an amount. And remember, the higher the amount bid, the more money raised for SunnyKids,” Josanne said.
Tickets to the Ball sold out quickly, however members of the public can participate and contribute to the cause by bidding on a vast array of auction items or by buying raffle tickets online.
“Thanks to the enormous generosity of local businesses, we have an outstanding selection of auction items and raffles to cover all interests and tastes,” Josanne said.
Here’s a small sample of the fabulous items which will be available to bid on:
Holidays; diamond earrings; helicopter flights; health, wellness and sport packages; artwork and family photography; handmade jewellery and even a radio advertising package.
