Wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving - be thankful for all the wonderful things we have.
Wow another interesting year so far - do you think winter will ever end. This year puts me at 31 years in the auction business and 27 years as a licensed real estate broker/agent. There have been some unique changes in both fields. The days of all live only auctions is almost gone- which is sad - people took time to look at things - know what they are bidding on and made plans to stay the day. Now it is a constant question- What do you think is better, a live auction an online or a combination of both. Well, to be totally honest, the best way to determine this is to know what you're selling and know the type of buyers you need to attract. So, if you are thinking of having an auction, the first thing is to determine what is selling - be prepared. The marketing of an auction is not a simple process - there are so many options, especially online auctions.

Auction updates
The auction method of selling has stood the test of time whether using the traditional onsite live or online only or live and online. When considering selling anything, an auction is the way to go. Some of the big changes we have seen in the last year have been the tax laws and what gets taxed and what doesn't. Another change is what should be sold live auction or what should be sold online only or using both methods at one time. As a seller, it is imperative to understand the pros and cons of both methods. As a buyer it’s important to understand that 90% of online auctions have very specific ground rules and expenses as a buyer - buyer’s premium being the biggest one and shipping. Understanding the importance of knowing what you are buying prior to bidding. As a seasoned auctioneer, I highly recommend to sellers and buyers the importance of having a viewing of items on any auction so that everyone is aware of what they are buying and the expenses that a buyer may incur during the transaction.
Methods of marketing are in a constant change as well.
Commission is an important aspect and can be a negotiable item. When considering an auction company, consider what added-value services are provided. This may include experience, reputation, knowledge of the items being sold, properly licensed and bonded, and marketing capabilities. Each of these items are important and often times justify the commission expense. Having a positive reputation with previous sellers and buyers and being a member the state association also bring value. Hiring an auctioneer is very similar to hiring a plumber, electrician, or a carpenter - each need to understand what they are working with to create a plan of success.
Selling real estate at auction is a great first option if the property is unique or has never been exposed to the current market. Selling real estate at auction provides great exposure, maximizing time on the market. This process can sometimes supersedes what a traditional market can get, achieving top dollar with multiple potential buyers. Another great advantage is that the seller sets the terms upfront and negotiations complete within 24 hours or less, no waiting!
