1. Real Estate Auctions:
Real estate auctions have become increasingly popular due to the advantages they offer.
|
The first and most important advantage is the amount of money that can be saved. The maximum commission charged by most auctioneers is three percent. The commission charged by realtors can be as high as seven to ten percent! |
|
The second advantage is the bidders determine the final price. When real estate is listed through realtors, potential buyers generally offer less than the listed price and there can be a long process of counter proposals. Selling at public auctions reduces the amount of time involved and allows the seller to complete the process in one day. |
|
The third advantage is the seller reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids. If the property offered does not bring what the seller considers fair market value, he or she is under no obligation to sell. |
2. Antiques, Collectibles, and Personal Property Auctions:
|
The selling of antiques, collectibles, and personal property items can be completed on your property or another location. |
3. Buying Outright:
|
Some people find it easier to simply sell their items privately rather than going through the process of a public auction. Depending on the individual items involved, we can either buy the items outright or lend assistance in contacting other potential buyers. |
4. Appraisals:
|
When the need arises, we offer appraisals of antiques and personal property items. |
|
Ebay is becoming an increasingly popular method of selling. We have found that many people do not have the knowledge or capability to take advantage of this new medium. We will professionally list your item on Ebay. This includes any digital photography, email transactions, and shipping. |
