Questions
How do absolute auctions ensure fair market value?
Absolute auctions sell to the highest bidder without price restrictions. Competitive bidding combined with targeted marketing attracts multiple buyers, naturally driving prices to reflect true market value through supply and demand dynamics.
What types of properties qualify for auction?
We auction residential homes, commercial properties, vacant land, golf courses, and personal property including estates and business assets. Both improved and unimproved properties qualify for our auction formats.
How long does the auction process take?
The auction process typically takes 60 days from contract signing to closing. This includes three weeks of intensive marketing followed by the auction event and 30-day closing period for buyers.
What fees does the seller pay?
Sellers only pay advertising costs. Buyers cover closing costs, property taxes, and a 10% buyer's premium. This structure significantly reduces seller expenses compared to traditional real estate transactions.
Can I bid online?
Yes, our platform allows online bidding through computers or mobile apps. Bidders can participate remotely, set maximum bids, and receive real-time notifications about auction activity and status changes.
