Sell your house at auction using the Modern Method of Auction Your Move can offer a revolutionary online property auction system which can allow customers to sell their properties quickly, for the best price possible and without having to pay any agency fees.
The key reasons to sell at auction. Speed Fixed but realistic time-frames allow for greater interest from a wider variety of buyers. Concierge Auctions, for example, represents higher end properties. Note that when home auction providers say that there are no commissions, they are not working for free.
And of course, buyers consider the total cost of purchasing, so they bid less when they know they have to pay a premium. Some sellers prefer to just pay a selling commission because the buyers premium does discourage bidding. Finally, there is the "no sale" charge. If your home does not attract bids or the bids don't reach your reserve price, the home may not sell. And in that case, you'll likely have to pay a no-sale fee.
It's meant to compensate the auction house for its marketing costs and efforts and can run into the thousands of dollars. But other companies ask much less, so verify this potential cost before listing. Yes, you can auction your own home. However, if you DIY your auction, prepare to assume many costs and tasks.
You'll need to market your home and advertise it. You might need to create a web site for the property and buy signage. You can choose to perform a live auction or an online auction. One way to increase your home's visibility for a self-conducted auction is to use "for sale by owner" listing sites and include the particulars - who is eligible to bid, how and when they can bid, and when the sale must be finalized.
For instance, you'll probably want a deposit equal to a down payment and a mortgage preapproval letter or proof of funds to close. You'll set the time and terms of the auction - live bidding onsite, online bidding, or a combination. You can even broadcast your live auction online. Few have the experience or the desire needed to completely auction their homes themselves, however.
You can still conduct an online auction without using a real estate agent. But understand that the auction site or provider charges a fee, either to you, the buyer, or both.

Order a home inspection and make the results available to bidders. Advertise online and include a comprehensive virtual tour. If you conduct a live auction, let buyers inspect the property beforehand. That can increase your pool of potential buyers because you're reducing the risk involved. Similarly, consider including a home warranty which costs a few hundred dollars to allay buyer fears.
First, you want an auctioneer or site that specializes in your sort of auction. If your home is a desirable property, don't work with a foreclosure specialist.
Or one that sells farms if you've got a big-city condo. You'll also want to know if the auctioneer requires you to have a real estate agent representing you. You can find auctioneers through the National Auctioneers Association , which maintains a database of member auction professionals and can match you with a provider for your home. If you have a real estate agent representing you, his or her company might use a preferred auction house or site.
You'll want to ask all potential candidates the same questions:. Professional designations provide an idea of the auctioneer's qualifications and experience. They must be full-time auctioneers for at least two years prior to attending the institute , log more than classroom hours in the Certified Auctioneers Institute and complete 24 hours of continuing education every three years.
The buyer will pay a non refundable reservation fee and but will have longer completion timescale, giving the buyer time to sort mortgage finance.
