Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

How much does it cost to Doorknock?
drop down arrow green
This depends on the package you choose. Please refer to our pricing table for full details.
Do I need experience to go private?
drop down arrow green
It helps! This option is best for confident buyers who either have experience in negotiations or a trusted legal/financial team. If you’re new to private sales, we recommend researching via Settled.govt.nz.
What happens in a homeowner is interested?
drop down arrow green
They will reach out to you directly. From there, you’ll handle negotiations, contracts, and legalities. We don’t act as an agent or middleman—we simply open the door for you.
Can I get help with legal & financial matters?
drop down arrow green
Yes! We can connect you with trusted solicitors, mortgage brokers, and legal experts, but we’re not part of that arrangement. You’ll work with them directly.
What happens if the homeowner lists their property publicly after receiving my Doorknock?
drop down arrow green
The homeowner is free to decide their next steps. If they choose to list their property publicly through an agent or other method, it becomes a standard sale. At that point, you’re welcome to pursue the listing through the usual channels, just like any other buyer.
What if the homeowner isn’t interested in selling?
drop down arrow green
There’s no obligation for the homeowner to respond, but they’re encouraged to let you know. If they decide not to sell, you can continue your search and remain in line for future opportunities.
Is there a catch?
drop down arrow green
Nope! Just one upfront cost to run your Doorknock campaign—no hidden fees, no commissions, no surprises.

Your Doorknock Messages

Can I customise my Doorknock message?

drop down arrow green
Absolutely! Your package includes a fully customised letter, crafted with expert guidance from the Doorknock team. Drawing from years of experience, we’ll help you create a compelling, engaging message that puts your best foot forward. Your contact details will also be included, so interested homeowners can reach out to you directly.
What if no homeowners respond?
drop down arrow green
While we craft each Doorknock to be highly engaging, responses are ultimately up to the homeowners. If you don’t get a response, you can consider expanding your search area, adjusting your messaging, or running another round of Doorknocks.
