Auction Information

Why Auction?

With a properly advertised and well-attended public auction you should have a huge crowd of enthusiastic, attentive buyers competing against each other to purchase your property. An auction allows the client to sell a property in a timely manner, eliminate holding costs, and establish their own terms and conditions. Simply placing an ad in the classified section or posting a ‘For Sale’ sign in your front yard usually garners at best an underwhelming response of ‘looky loos’ and short-changers. In many cases it could take months to finally sell your property, and even then you may have to accept a price substantially lower than what you hoped for.

Choosing the Right Auctioneer

If you believe your property is right for auction, then you’re ready to begin looking for the best auctioneer. These days finding an auctioneer can be relatively easy, but hiring the right auctioneer is where the effort comes in. You will want to weigh several factors carefully before signing a contract and price shouldn’t be the only determining factor in your decision.

An auctioneer’s reputation can be crucial to the success of an auction.  Well-regarded auctioneers earn their public standing with a blend of experience and character that can only be forged over time.
