WHY AUCTIONS?
| Seller pays no commission. | Broker charged typical 5-10% Commissions. | |
| Realize the property’s true market value with no upside price limitation. |
Upside opportunity is limited. No chance to negotiate up – just down! |
|
| Auction provides the psychological catalyst to promote and enhance buyers interest – as well as sales price. |
Traditional sales method offers no psychological or competitive momentum. | |
| Results in 35 to 60 days. | Property can sit on the market for months or even years before it sells – if it sells at all! |
|
| All conditions of sale are set in advance of the auction. |
Contingencies are the most common form of negotiating price. |
|
| Property is sold without contingencies common. | Offer is contingent upon lender approval. | |
| Successful bidder is required to deposit 10% of the purchase at the close of the auction. |
3% or less deposit is normal. | |
