When selling your real estate, would you like:
• A set date of sale? • An accelerated sales and marketing time frame? • Fast closing? • Only qualified bidders with no contingencies? • Competitive bidding that tends to drive up prices? • No drawn-out negotiations. The bidders compete against
each other
Then Choose a Real Estate Auction!

Auctions vs. Traditional Sale for Sellers
AUCTION METHOD
Overall accelerated time frame
Bidders are pre-qualified and ready to buy
Competitive bidding drives prices up
Property sold at Fair Market Value
Quicker end to carrying costs
Scheduled, limited number of showings
Set closing date, usually 30 days or sooner after the auction
TRADITIONAL METHOD
Sales process may take weeks or months
Buyers often require financing or prior-sale contingencies
Pricing steps typically go down
Value is only an approximation based on similar properties sold
Carrying costs drag on the entire length of sale process
Unpredictable and often inconvenient showings
Closing date is often TBD
Here’s a look at how an auction is better for the seller than a traditional real estate sale

Minimum Bid
Auction
Bidding begins at a minimum, acceptable price to the seller. Less popular among bidders than the Absolute Auction, a Minimum Bid Auction provides a starting point that a seller may feel more confident with, but the starting bid should not be unrealistically high as to discourage initial bidding. RealEstateAuctions.com works with sellers to establish an appropriate and productive minimum bid.
Auction Bidding Types
Highest bid wins. Absolute Auctions generate by far the most interest among buyers because of the opportunity to win the property with just another bid. This typically means more money for the seller due to the competitive nature of bidding
Absolute Auction
Reserve Auction
Only the seller, the auctioneer and the Auction Specialist with RealEstateAuctions.com knows a confidential minimum price at which the property can sell. Bidders typically regard an Auction With a Reserve as the least attractive because of the unknown minimum threshold their bidding needs to reach in order to purchase the property.
How is your real estate auctioned? There are three popular options:

Working with our designated Auction Specialists, your property is typically ready for auction approximately six weeks after contracts are signed. This is an average time period based on the market and the type of property we are auctioning. During this period, we will market your property and assemble all due-diligence documents into a Bidder Information Package for buyers. There are three primary ways to sell a property at auction: • Live, In-Person Event • Online-Only Event • Live / Online Hybrid Event Let’s see how each of these methods are defined.
When is your Real Estate Auctioned?

Online-Only Event
Perfect for a listing or listings in which a live, in-person event isn’t practical. Online bidding time is set for a narrow time frame or a broader time frame depending upon the marketing strategy preferred by the seller, in consultation with a RealEstateAuctions.com specialist. Bidding is done by qualified buyers online, in real time, though the RealEstateAuctions.com Online Bidding Platform.
Auction Methods
When most people think of “auction,” this is it. This type of event features a live auctioneer in an open-outcry setting. Qualified bidders raise their numbered paddles or bid cards when they wish to bid at the announced price, which is publically acknowledged by the auctioneer. A live, in-person event is typically held at a hotel ballroom or conference center for multi-property listings, or onsite at the subject property for a single listing.
Live, In-Person
Event
Live / Online Hybrid Event
A great combination that melds today’s technology with tradition to throw open the doors for bidding from virtually anywhere. Bidders in the room, across town or around the world can purchase real estate while sellers can have their properties exposed to buyers far beyond local markets.
These auction methods describe the length and the location of the auction.

Question & Answer
A: Despite multiple offers, you may end up leaving money on the table unless you let potential buyers compete openly against one another in an auction format.
