Sell your Franklin home at auction

Small-town homes and rural property in western Tidewater. 0% commission, no repairs, and a sale date you choose.

Selling in Franklin

Franklin and the surrounding counties are home to classic small-town houses, farmland and rural estates. With fewer local buyers than the cities to the east, these properties need marketing that brings bidders from across Hampton Roads and beyond.

An auction does exactly that: every property is promoted to local and online bidders, sold as-is, and closed about 30 days after auction day.

New auctions are announced here first

There are no open auctions this week. Sign up for alerts and we will email you the moment the next property is announced.

From first call to closing, on your calendar

Most sales close in about two months from the first conversation. You set the auction date, so you always know where you stand.

  1. Plan

    Week 1

    A free consultation at your kitchen table or by phone. We look at the property, your timeline and your goals, and recommend an auction date.

  2. Prepare

    Weeks 1–2

    You sign the auction agreement (usually 3–4 weeks before auction day) and approve a confidential minimum. We handle photos, video, and any contents or cleanout.

  3. Promote

    Weeks 2–4

    Marketing beyond the MLS: listed through our local Realtor partnerships, promoted online and on social media, with scheduled preview days for buyers.

  4. Auction day

    About week 4

    A Virginia-licensed auctioneer runs the sale live and online. Bidders compete in the open. If bidding meets your minimum, the home is sold.

  5. Close

    About 30 days later

    The buyer closes with the closing attorney. There are no financing, inspection or appraisal contingencies to fall through.
