What We Do:
We bring the market to your property in 30-45 days, rather than "expose" your property to the market over an extended period of time. We can achieve market value for your real estate by utilizing an accelerated targeted marketing approach and allowing competitive bidding to drive the price up to find the market value on sale day. This differs from the traditional approach of setting an "asking price" at the top of the market and taking price reductions until the market is found. Our approach does this job much quicker, and assures that you, as a seller, have not left any money "on the table" in the process. Whether you are an executor of an estate, a Bank or Bankruptcy Trustee or a business or property owner wishing to liquidate quickly AND profitably, call us for free advice and estimates.
We also love to educate potential bidders on the auction process and about bidding strategies that can make your investments more profitable and rewarding.
