Selling at Auction
Property owners have begun to recognize the advantages of the auction alternative
INSTEAD OF FEARING IT AS A LAST RESORT!
Time, speed, increase in price through competitive bidding, reduction in the cost of carrying a property, immediate attention focused on a specific property, and creation of a sense of urgency to buy.
Reasons to have an auction:
- Time Demands - Need to sell?
Typically you can be sold & closed in 60 days. That means money in your pocket!
- Partnership Arguments
Corporate or Marital
- Estates
There is not an easier way to settle an estate. It is sold, closed and settled quickly and efficiently.
- Bankruptcy/Foreclosure
Often times, if notified in time, we can stop this entire process.
- Corporate & Tax Planning
Often times an auction will help sellers meet a definite deadline needed to reap tax savings. (Example: 1031 Tax Exchanges)
Properties suitable for auction:
Most any property can be sold at auction:
- Commercial
- Multi Housing
- Residential
- Farm & Ranch
- Industrial
Over mortgaged, very low equity properties are hard to sell in any market under any condition.
