USA Auction Bidding Types How is your real estate auctioned? There are three popular options: Highest bid wins. Absolute Auctions generate by far the most interest among buyers because of the opportunity to win the property with just another bid. This typically means more money for the seller due to the competitive nature of bidding Minimum Bid Auction Absolute Auction Reserve Auction

Bidding begins at a minimum, acceptable price to the seller. Less popular among bidders than the Absolute Auction, a Minimum Bid Auction provides a starting point that a seller may feel more confident with, but the starting bid should not be unrealistically high as to discourage initial bidding. RealEstateAuctions.com works with sellers to establish an appropriate and productive minimum bid. Only the seller, the auctioneer and the Auction Specialist with RealEstateAuctions.com knows a confidential minimum price at which the property can sell. Bidders typically regard an Auction With a Reserve as the least attractive because of the unknown minimum threshold their bidding needs to reach in order to purchase the property.

Working with our designated Auction Specialists, your property is typically ready for auction approximately six weeks after contracts are signed. This is an average time period based on the market and the type of property we are auctioning. During this period, we will market your property and assemble all due-diligence documents into a Bidder Information Package for buyers. There are three primary ways to sell a property at auction: Live, In-Person Event Online-Only Event Live / Online Hybrid Event Lets see how each of these methods are defined. Auction Methods These auction methods describe the length and the location of the auction. When most people think of auction, this is it. This type of event features a live auctioneer in an open-outcry setting. Qualified bidders raise their numbered paddles or bid cards when they wish to bid at the announced price, which is publically acknowledged by the auctioneer. A live, in-person event is typically held at a hotel ballroom or conference center for multi-property listings, or onsite at the subject property for a single listing. Online-Only Event Live, In-Person Event Live / Online Hybrid Event

Perfect for a listing or listings in which a live, in-person event isnt practical. Online bidding time is set for a narrow time frame or a broader time frame depending upon the marketing strategy preferred by the seller, in consultation with a RealEstateAuctions.com specialist. Bidding is done by qualified buyers online, in real time, though the RealEstateAuctions.com Online Bidding Platform. A great combination that melds todays technology with tradition to throw open the doors for bidding from virtually anywhere. Bidders in the room, across town or around the world can purchase real estate while sellers can have their properties exposed to buyers far beyond local markets. Question & Answer Q: Arent auctions used only for foreclosures and distressed properties? A: Absolutely not. Any real estate that can be sold can be auctioned. It simply is the fastest, most efficient and most transparent way to buy and sell.
