We are all REALTORS here, I just happen to market and sell in a non-traditional way - at
Auction!  I am also an Auctioneer, and I am able to offer you a number of exciting ways to
help your clients and your own business by utilizing the Auction marketing and selling
model in situations where it is to your benefit

Auctions create a buying frenzy by bringing matters to a head on a specific date at a
specific time.  Potential buyers who are tire kickers, and fence setters, must decide to take
action on a specific date, or be left in the dust.  In a slowing market, matters need to be
accelerated and expedited by making the market happen, rather than waiting.  A site
specific intensive 30-day marketing program assures that the interested buyers will be in
the mix. And, it only takes two interested buyers to make an auction!

We can help market the property whose listing is about to expire while protecting you as
the agent in the transaction.  Bring us your client, and we will protect you in the Auction
contract.  Types of property that lend themselves well to the Auction process include:
  • Unique property that may be difficult to price or hard to market
  • High end property where buyers are scarce.
  • Waterfront or highly desirable property where a bidders war is likely
  • Property that needs to be sold quickly
  • Property that needs to be sold "as is"

As a sellers agent you earn your commission while selling the property quickly and with a
contract that WILL close, because there will be no contingencies and no financing - the
bidders are per-qualified.

As a buyers agent you earn a commission because we offer participation on all auctions.  
We usually provide a 2.5% commission for buyers agents.  On selected auctions we offer a
financial incentive for your buyer client as well in the form of a 1% discount off the Buyer's
Premium when we have pre-sale opening and maximum authorized bid agreements, but
your client never has to pay more than is necessary to be the successful bidder,
regardless of the maximum authorized bid.  (See each sale brochure for the specific broker
participation terms)
