We sell both real estate and personal property, by traditional listing or with the accelerated marketing auction method, and we bundle the services around a sale: estate sales, clean-outs, appraisals and opinions of value, and relocation help. Our best advertising comes directly from our clients; references are available on request.
Traditional listing or auction?
| Traditional listing | Accelerated marketing auction | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | Homes and properties where time allows the market to develop | Estates, relocations, unique properties, land, and sellers who need a date certain |
| Timeline | Market-dependent; typically 60–120 days to contract | Marketed 4–6 weeks, sold on auction day, closed within 30 days |
| Price | Asking price, negotiated down | Competitive bidding, negotiated up; absolute or with reserve |
| Contingencies | Financing, inspection and appraisal contingencies are common | None: buyers inspect before the sale and bid as-is |
| Exposure | MLS, online portals, signs, open houses | Everything a listing gets, plus the auction event, our Event Alerts list and the buyers from our estate sales |
