On the day before the auction I talked to my client about the auction days procedures,and his comment was "it's that time already".  It is amazing how fast time flies when there's a set date to end the drama called "SELLING PROPERTY".  It seems every time you blink it's time to prepare for another preview.  The previews were a snap because in the three hours there's a steady stream of potential bidders, curious neighbors, potential sellers and the list goes on.  The point is auction previews are unlike "open houses" attract a lot of attention.  How many open houses lately can boast about 20-30 people per preview showing up.  And this was a relatively light showing.  These numbers resulted in 8 bidders at the auction.  It took about 10 minutes to sell this beautiful home. 

 As I said before, the Bay Area now has a viable alternative to the "list and sell" tradition.
