A sale date you can count on
Selling at public auction is becoming a first resort for many sellers, from relocating executives and builders to retired empty-nesters.
A predetermined sale date
- Condenses the marketing period
- Decreases seller carrying costs
- Guarantees offers and a sale by a specific date
- Creates urgency and a one-time opportunity to buy
Fewer hassles
- Sellers set the terms and conditions before the sale
- No offers with “subject-to’s” or contingencies
- Buyers pay the commission and fees
More buyers, more competition
- Exposes your property to a large number of buyers in a short time
- Brings every potential buyer together at one time
- Competitive bidding drives the price up
