GOLD Coast resident Trent Belling is selling a parcel of land at auction to take advantage of the spring selling season.

“There’s greater exposure with the spring auction event in terms of quality properties, hardworking agents and motivated buyers.
“It’s a win-win outcome for everyone.”

Mr Belling bought the 475 sqm block, at 192A Heeb St, Benowa, in January, 2021.
“We were planning to build our home there as it’s close to family in nearby Royal Pines and Southport,” he said.
“But earlier this year we moved into a large apartment that’s more house-like and we have fallen in love with apartment living.”
