Auction raises awareness of your property through print and digital marketing and property signage. Plus, the word ‘auction’ attracts a wider net of buyers while creating a sense of urgency.
Auctions focus buyers on property value, not price. We only get paid when we sell your property at an amount that is in line with your expectations.
The auction process allows you to set your own date and a timeline. No waiting around, guessing when your property will sell or not sell.
Clean, simple contracts with all buyer due diligence are completed before auction day.
Auctions show a limited number of open houses to create a perception of greater demand.
Conducting auctions with reserve prices allows you to set the minimum price and there is no obligation to sell if bidding falls short. You can also accept any offer before auction day.
Even if an auction doesn’t sell, you learn what buyers will pay without damaging your property's reputation because no list price is advertised. We work until it's sold.
Buyers who bid at auction are doing so on an “as is” sale not subject to any contingencies. Because of this, bidders may find that they have less competition than if they seek to purchase via the traditional method. Some buyers are not prepared to complete their due diligence or are unable to purchase without the inclusion of a finance contingency.
At auction, you see all interested parties. No secrets, surprises or stress.

Before the property goes live, we discuss your bidding start amount, deposit amount and property close time.
All bids are shown in real time and you don’t have to bid more if it passes what you’re willing to pay.
