How a real estate auction works

  1. ConsultationWe walk the property, review comparable sales and recommend absolute, reserve or subject-to-confirmation terms.
  2. MarketingFour to six weeks of targeted marketing: MLS, online listings, signs, direct mail, our Event Alerts e-newsletter and the crowd from our estate sales.
  3. PreviewsScheduled open houses so buyers can inspect the property and review the title work and terms before they bid.
  4. Auction dayLive bidding on site, with online bidding for registered buyers. The high bidder signs the contract and pays earnest money that day.
  5. ClosingClosing within 30 days, with no contingencies and no renegotiation.

Terms you can expect

Buyer's premiumTypically 10%, added to the high bid to form the contract price
Earnest moneyA fixed amount announced for each sale, due day of sale by cashier's check or wire
ClosingWithin 30 days; buyer may finance but the sale is not contingent on financing
ConditionSold as-is, where-is; inspect during the previews
TitleSold with clear title; the seller pays for the deed and their closing costs
