Why sell with

Sage & Co Auctions?

1

Experience

Company directors Steve and Ryan have approximately 45 years of experience in the property industry between them. Working their way through the ranks over many years. You are certainly in safe hands.
2

Market leading technology

Our online auctions have the very best technology working in the background. We can monitor the process and key performance areas for your property. This gives us the edge when marketing and gives us the confidence of receiving the best possible results.
3

Our Team

We have a great team here to support us (of course, we will say that!) but come and see for yourself. The attitude and dedication shown by the team speaks for itself. We can assist you from valuation stage all the way to completion. Making the process seamless and stress free.
4

Speed of process

A big attraction for many people at auction, is the speed of the process up to completion. Once we have completed the marketing of the property and found a successful bidder through the auction, the majority of completions will take place within 28 days.
5

Legally binding sales

If your property receives a bid at the reserve price or above, then the hammer will fall, and we exchange contracts immediately. This makes the transaction legally binding. So, there are no worries about the buyer withdrawing from the sale.
6

Competitive marketplace

The UK housing market has become very strong in recent years, and it is safe to say that the demand is outweighing the supply. Therefore, this could make auction a very attractive option for you. Selling at auction has never been easier, or more attractive.

Steve Sage
Managing Director

Steve Sage

I have been an estate agent now for over 29 years working in both England and Wales for independent and corporate agencies which have provided me with thorough understanding of sales and marketing and experiences that cover most situations imaginable. I am driven to provide the best service we can, which means employing the best people available to represent our customers and ensuring that they receive a first class experience whether selling, buying or letting.
Ryan Saunders
Auctions Director

Ryan Saunders

Ryan began his career in the property industry in 2004, joining a local independent estate agent after finishing his education. Progressing through roles as a sales negotiator and valuer, he built a strong foundation of industry knowledge that led him to become branch manager of a highly successful office in Newport, South Wales, navigating a competitive market with expertise and professionalism. Eager to broaden his experience, Ryan then joined a property auction company, gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of property sales, including residential, commercial, and agricultural sectors. In 2021, Ryan co-founded Sage & Co Auctions with Steve, combining over 40 years of collective experience in the property sector. Together, they continue to drive the business forward, with exciting developments planned for the future.
Callum House
Sales Manager

Callum House

Callum brings a wealth of estate agency experience across the South Wales property market, having worked throughout Cardiff, Newport and Cwmbran. His background covers the full spectrum of residential sales, from high-end properties and first-time buyer homes to new builds and auction sales. With experience in both corporate estate agency and running his own branch within a target-driven environment, Callum is well equipped to meet the demands of a fast-paced and ever-changing market. He is passionate about continually developing his knowledge and is currently studying towards RICS qualification, enabling him to further enhance the advice and service he provides to clients. Born and bred in Risca, Callum takes great pride in supporting his local community and delivering a first-class service to clients across the area. Alongside his estate agency career and ongoing CPD, he has completed two years of SAVA studies within the surveying and building sector and has also passed his EPC Assessor exams. While these qualifications cannot be utilised due to potential conflicts of interest, they highlight both Callum’s depth of knowledge and the company’s commitment to integrity. Although Callum may not yet have letters after his name (he insists L.E.G.E.N.D. should count), we’re confident it’s only a matter of time before his accreditations catch up with his expertise.
