What Is An Auction?

An auction sale is an effective marketing process that brings interested buyers together at one time to bid on real estate or personal property. An auction brings the seller the best possible price in one day while other marketing methods may take months. The auction method puts the spotlight on a particular piece of property and draws the attention of prospective buyers who may not otherwise know the property is available.

Aren't Auctions Risky?

NO. As long as you have a professional experienced team working for you, auctions produce excellent results. We have even held sales of property which had previously been listed on the private market, yet brought more at auction than it's original list price. Before deciding to take property to auction, you should consult an experienced professional. Not all properties are suitable for auction. If we feel a property is not suitable, we'll recommend that a different method be used to market the property, However, most properties do well at auction and bring market value at the sale.

How Much Lead Time Is Necessary for An Auction?

On the average, our company likes to have three to four weeks before the actual auction sale. Some properties can be done with less lead time while others may need more. For example, a house and lot can be sold at auction with a lead time of three weeks. On the other hand, a farm that does not have a recent survey may require as much as six weeks depending on the availability of a licensed surveyor.

What Is Involved In An Auction?

How Much Does It Cost?

Our company works on a percentage of gross sales. This rate is determined by the seller and the auction company. There are a number of factors that come into play when setting the rate. Our rates are very competitive, and we invite you to contact one of our auction agents to give you a quote on your sale.

What Should I Look For When Choosing An Auction Company?

If you should need heart surgery, you would probably seek out the best doctor you could find. If you need legal assistance for a large lawsuit you would seek out the best attorney you could find. If you are planning an auction sale, you usually have a large investment involved, so shouldn't you seek out the best auction company you can find?

Personal Property Auctions

Most of this article talks about real estate. However, our company conducts a number of personal property sales.

If you have a healthy inventory or surplus items, you may need to contact us about converting them to cash and putting the money to work for you.

Estate Auctions

The auction method is the number one way that estates are settled. An auction sale can convert most estates to cash in one day. Using this method is fair to all concerned. While heirs of an estate can not divide a piece of furniture six ways they can divide the money. They also have the right to bid on anything put up for sale, and this makes the division of the estate fair to all concerned.
