Harcourts Warkworth and Snells Beach boss Amy Wagstaff got stuck in with her team to paint the playhouse from scratch.
With the current housing shortage in Auckland, Harcourts Warkworth-Tandem Realty is expecting some spirited bidding when it puts a house up for auction on July 15.But prospective buyers may want to check out the house dimensions before putting in their bid.
The house going under the hammer to raise funds for Warkworth Wellsford Hospice is a playhouse.
Harcourts branch manager Amy Wagstaff says Harcourts chief executive Chris Kennedy will call the auction.
“Chris has had cancer and was quite passionate about us choosing Hospice as the recipient for the funds, but it is an organisation that we all support,” she says.
Hospice fundraising and communications coordinator Lesley Ingham says the money will go towards the cost of providing home nursing visits and other operating costs.
“Harcourts is really going all out to raise as much money as possible; it’s amazing,” she says.
The auction will also sell items that have been donated by 29 other businesses.
It will be held at the Omaha Golf Club on July 15, starting at 6.30pm.
The Harcourts Foundation recently donated $2000 to Seniornet which will go towards a new computer. Applications for the next round of funding close on October 5.
