Why Hope for the Right Buyer? Have an Auction - They Will Come.
Auctions aren't for every seller. But if you're realistic about the market and believe in transparent competition, this might be exactly what you need.
Here's How Auctions Actually Work
🗓️ Set Sale Date
We set a specific auction date and market toward it. Depending on the auction type (reserve, seller confirmation, or absolute), you maintain different levels of control over the final decision.
📈 Pricing Starts Low, Goes Up
Unlike traditional sales where you start high and negotiate down, auctions start at an attractive opening bid and let competition drive the price up.
⏰ Marketing Timeline Matters
Yes, we can move faster than traditional sales, but more marketing time generally means better results. We'll recommend the optimal timeline for your situation.
🏡 Transparent As-Is Sales
Properties sell in current condition with full disclosure. If we know about issues, we share them upfront. Buyers inspect beforehand and bid knowing exactly what they're getting - both the good and the challenges. No hidden problems, no repair negotiations after the fact.
👥 Multiple Qualified Buyers
We attract serious buyers who can actually close. The transparency of the auction process appeals to buyers who want straightforward transactions.
What Type of Auction Fits Your Situation?
Reserve Auction
You set a minimum acceptable price. If bidding doesn't reach your reserve, you're not obligated to sell.
Seller Confirmation
You review and approve the high bid before finalizing the sale.
Absolute / No Reserve
Property sells to the highest bidder regardless of price. Typically generates the most bidder activity.
We'll help you choose the right approach based on your timeline, market conditions, and comfort level.
Who Auctions Work Best For
✅ Property owners who understand market realities
✅ Sellers who value transparency over lengthy negotiations
✅ Out-of-state owners tired of managing from a distance
✅ Anyone who's had properties sit on the market too long
✅ Sellers with unique properties that are hard to price traditionally
The Process (Transparent Timeline)
1. Honest Assessment
We'll evaluate your property and market conditions, then recommend whether auction is the right approach and what type makes sense.
2. Strategic Marketing
We market aggressively to our buyer database and through targeted advertising. More marketing time typically means better turnout.
3. Auction Day
Qualified bidders compete transparently. You'll see exactly who's bidding and what they're willing to pay.

Common Questions
"What if nobody shows up?"
Our marketing reaches thousands of qualified buyers. Poor turnout is rare, but if it happens, we'll discuss your options before auction day.
"Will I get market value?"
Auctions reveal what multiple buyers will actually pay in competition. Sometimes that's above traditional market estimates, sometimes it's at market, rarely it's below. The transparency shows you true demand.
"What if my property has known issues?"
We believe in full transparency. If there are known problems, we disclose them upfront in the marketing materials. This actually attracts more serious bidders because they know exactly what they're getting and can bid accordingly. Hidden problems hurt everyone - transparency helps.
"What are the costs?"
We're transparent about all fees upfront. Our commission structure aligns our interests with yours - we succeed when you do.
"How do I know if auction is right for me?"
Honest conversation about your situation, timeline, and market expectations. If we don't think auction is the best approach, we'll tell you.
