$5.62 Million ‘Under Hammer’ Result Shows Strength of Harcourts Mana-Kapiti Auctions

The public increasingly recognising the advantages of the auction method for all property types has been key to consistent auction success according to Harcourts Mana-Kapiti-Horowhenua Principal and Auctioneer, Mick Robbers.

Their most recent auction event held Thursday 13 October saw 18 properties auctioned with one sold prior, 14 ‘under the hammer’ and the other three under negotiation.
