Common questions
Why should I sell my real estate by auction method?
The auction method uses a competitive bidding process to determine the final selling price and is an efficient way to determine real market value. The value to a seller is cost savings and efficiency.
You will not be required to pay for repairs before or after the sale of the property. You will not pay a seller commission fees (typically 6% of the selling price). We also work together to set a date for the auction so you know exactly when your real estate deal will go to closing, removing even more uncertainty from the sales process.
Are real estate auctions only for distressed properties?
No, most of our auctions do not result from repossessed properties but are the result of what we like to think is a smart seller! These sellers choose the cost-effective, accelerated method of selling property at auction, rather than listing the property for an undetermined length of time.
Traditional listings require complicated negotiation periods with multiple unscheduled showings and creative contingency offers. The auction method sets the date the property will sell and eliminates these hassles.
Can I set a “minimum” on my property? I don’t want to give it away!
Yes, you have the right to choose a reserve or minimum sell price. This figure is discussed with the auction professional in the beginning of our process and is not disclosed to any potential buyer, under any circumstances.
You have the right to accept or decline the highest bid if it falls below the established reserve price. Our goal is always to exceed your minimum price.
If the high bid is less than my predetermined minimum value, can I accept it?
Yes, you always have the right to sell the property at the highest bid price you are comfortable with.
How long will the entire process take?
To allow our intense marketing saturation process to attract the most bidders, ideally, the contract must be signed at least 3-4 weeks prior to the auction day, and the closing will take place approximately 30 days after the auction date. Quick sale options are also available.
Where will the auction take place?
The auction typically takes place on-site of the property. For multi-parcel properties or vacant land auctions an offsite conference center is typically more appropriate. Every auction will also be available online worldwide.
