Why Real Estate at
Auction?
Contrary to public opinion, real estate auctions
offer selling conditions that are sometimes better than traditional real
estate sales methods. Real estate auctions, in the United States, are on
the rise. Banks, lawyers, and property owners are discovering that real estate
auctions are a sound option and an avenue to profitability.
Real estate
auctions are effective and have advantages. They are an option that is
worthy of your consideration.
The
following are some advantages of real estate auctions:
• Quicker
sale of real estate
• Eliminates high carrying cost for long periods of time (taxes,
insurance, maintenance)
• Attracts the attention of buyers who compete for purchase
• Has pre-qualified buyers as real prospects
• Convenience of a complete package for the real estate and the personal
property
Real estate
auctions create excitement because they bring together all of the
potential buyers of a property, encouraging direct competition among
buyers. Carefully planned promotions attract the necessary qualified
buyers well in advance of the auction date.
We pride
ourselves on professionalism throughout the sale and it shows through our
record of successful real estate auctions. If you are interested in this
auction service, we would appreciate the chance to talk with you.

What Properties are Suited for a Real Estate Auction?
Ever wonder how you can
tell if a property is well suited to auction? Think of your listing, then
take the Two-Thirds Rule test!
Q. What properties are suitable for Real Estate Auction?
A. Most properties are salable by auction. All types of real estate,
including residential property (e.g., town homes, condominiums,
cooperative apartments and single-family homes), commercial and industrial
property, vacant land and even boat slips are sold at auction. Not all
property, however, is suited for auction. If a property will only appeal
to a narrow market, auction may not be the most effective marketing
method.
A Real Estate Auction Self-Test:
One method to determine if auction is the best marketing strategy is the
Two-Thirds Rule. This involves analysis of the market, property and
seller situation. Generally, if two of the three parts (market, seller,
property) lean towards auction, then auction should be offered to the
seller as a sales option.
Market Real Estate Auction Self Test for Buyers -- A good auction situation is one where the market
is:
* A changing market
* A dull market; too much product but buyer interest is expressed
* Not enough of the property type (unique, lake front, etc.)
* An emerging market -- new developments could kick off a sales program,
once some of the properties were auctioned
* A seller's market where there is known high demand and a lot of
competition can take place
Real Estate Auction Self Test for Sellers -- A good auction situation is one where the seller:
* Needs immediate cash
* Has a partnership or marriage break-up
* Is moving out of the state
* Wants to liquidate an estate
* Is retiring
* Is an auction-minded seller
* Has a listing that is about to expire
* Has already purchased another house
* Knows the auction will bring a fair market price
* Has financial problems
* Has high carrying costs on the property
Real Estate Auction Self Test for Property -- A good auction property is one that:
* Has a lot of equity (25 percent or more)
* Is unique -- there is enough buyer/market interest to encourage
competition (unique properties are difficult to appraise)
* Has a lot of high carrying costs for the owner
* Is vacant -- vacant properties may encourage vandalism
* Is difficult to appraise
