Auction Benefits
Sellers:
- Certain costs are eliminated with property auctions. Sellers are not responsible for paying long term carrying costs, which can include any interest accumulated on loans, maintenance, or other taxes.
- Competition is created among buyers, and oftentimes the final sale price will exceed the property’s appraised price.
- At auctions, buyers are prepared to buy. They are pre-qualified for financing, so final bids are final with no financing contingencies.
- Property is viewed by multiple pre-qualified buyers.
- Sellers skip the step of multiple real estate showings and are able to select the details regarding when they want to sell.
- Sellers are taken out of the negotiation process.
- The selling process is accelerated. From the time the auction ends, 30 days are allotted for the closing period.
- Auctions will provide your property with heightened exposure in a short amount of time. Auctioneers are marketing specialists. They have many marketing tools, such as mailing lists, advertisements, and fliers, at their disposal, and they use the tools to generate excitement and to attract as many people as possible to the event.
- People will come to auctions during good and bad economic times. An auction is a sale, and regardless of the economy, auctions are attended by pre-qualified buyers.
