"Ask the Professionals" Real Estate Auction Does Not Mean Property Distress

The history of real estate started with an Auctioneer on a soapbox at the local farm, selling property at market value. As modern society has progressed, we forgot about efficient and transparent ways of buying and selling. Auction does not mean a property is in distress nor doe it reflect the level of quality of a property. In fact, auctioned properties and an accelerated sales process can generate higher prices than traditional marketing methods.

Auctions make up 30% of the real estate transaction. In fact, sellers love auctions because all parties know exactly when the property will sell. Auction creates competition among buyers to the point where the auction price may exceed the price of a negotiated sale. Plus it takes the seller out of the negotiation process and assures the property will be sold at true market value. What is better than your buyer comes prepared to buy, it also reduces long-term carrying costs, taxes and maintenance and eliminates numerous and unscheduled showings.

When selling your real estate property, commercial or residential by the Auction method, utilize a highly experienced and ethical Auction Marketing Company. This Company should have highly trained professionals that are experienced in the real estate market. They must ensure an aggressive marketing program that will increase interest and visibility and make sure your property is exposed to a large number of quailified prospects. In some cases the Auction Company may have Certified Estate Specialists who are able to sell personal property including equipment, fine art, accessories, jewelry and other high-end items.

When the right property, right seller, and the right situation come together, Auction gets the job done. Sellers like it because it is fast, efficient and effective. Buyers like it because they feel they are getting the best price. Auction doesn't mean distress, it mean less stress for all parties!
