When Leith Waite sold her Napier house in September she decided to take a risk - and it turned out to be one well worth taking.
She and her partner were set to move to Hamilton where she had taken up a scholarship at Waikato Hospital so she decided the Greenmeadows house she bought five years earlier needed to go on the market.
The timing was good because Tremain Real Estate were staging a special spring promotion where anyone selling their property in September or October went in the draw to win a prize, from either of five categories.
There were marketing packages, reduced commissions and general appliance store vouchers as well as a special draw to recoup the full commission.
Of the more than 100 people who entered the promotion only six chose the full commission option.
