Auction
An equipment auction can generate much synergy in conjunction with a real estate sale. While during the auction day, the Auctioneer determines the time and day to sell potential Buyers are primed to bid higher.
For property owners who are motivated to sell their real estate, the auction provides a specific timetable for the sale and transfer of the property.
The auction process sells the real estate in As Is, How Is Condition. The winning bidder pays a nonrefundable earnest money deposit on auction day and the majority of closing costs are paid by Buyer.
Sometimes the real estate has been listed and available to the general market for
an uncomfortable period of time. The auction process can dictate the timeframe for the sale of the real estate and be a SUPERTOOL to sell the property! The auction may bring prospects to bid, who did not previously consider the real estate, or would not make an offer while the property was conventionally listed for sale.
The auction is held both online and live at the real estate site. This process gathers more prospects to bid, which results in a higher sale price.
