auctioneers: The Most Comprehensive & Complete Guide to Selling Real Estate at Auction is Now Available
- 01/30/09 12:35 PM
I would like to ask you a favor, if you can take a few minutes to check out my new website designed to teach realtors & auctioneers the 'The Secrets of an AARE Auctioneer' or: How to make money offering auctions to your clients whether the property sells or not. http://www.aareauctioneer.com/ The program was originally developed to be used only by auction listing agents who work exclusively for my company. The problem with the exclusivity was, auctioneers wanted to get my processes, forms, contracts, techniques etc. but did not want to be tied into channeling 100% of their real estate auctions through me. That is … (2 comments)

auctioneers: Why would an Auctioneer Blog on Activerain.com?
- 01/09/09 03:33 PM
There has been a thread on the National Auctioneers Association forum for the past few weeks titled: What is so great about blogging on ActiveRain.com? I had been watching this thread and reading the responses but waited until today to post my own. Since the forum is private for members only I cannot post the contents of the thread, but I will say that the comments from the auctioneers who blog here have been VERY POSITIVE and created a few converts. Here is my response from this morning: I have been waiting to post a reply on this thread since it … (25 comments)
auctioneers: Foreclosure Auctions Are *NOT* Conducted by Professional Auctioneers
- 11/17/08 04:34 AM
I am a full time real estate auctioneer and one of less than 350 people in the USA who is certified as an Accredited Auctioneer of Real Estate by the National Auctioneers Association and would like to comment on the foreclosure crisis. 5,300 American families are losing their home to foreclosure each and every day; it's a fact not fiction. Every property that is foreclosed must be offered at a mandatory foreclosure auction. That's right 100% of the properties going through foreclosure must be offered at public auction, yet the foreclosure process is broken at the auction and can be easily … (5 comments)

auctioneers: THREE TIMES A REALTOR SHOULD ALWAYS ALWAYS CALL THE REAL ESTATE AUCTIONEER
- 11/16/07 03:48 AM
Do you know the three times a realtor should ALWAYS call the real estate auctioneer? In this market I am amazed that there are still those living in the dark ages who think that real estate auctions are just fire sales and distress sales at give-a-way proces. Did anyone here happen to hear about the Shelby GT Cobra that sold at auction last Summer? $5 MILLION DOLLARS AT AUCTION WITH NO MINIMUM AND NO RESERVE There was no minimum bid and no reserve meaning this one of a kind property sold to the highest bidder regardless of price. 8% Buyers premium was paid or about $400,000.00 … (3 comments)
auctioneers: LOCK BOXES another reason sellers choose auction is respect of privacy
- 08/24/07 03:17 AM
Sellers are usually uncomfortable with a lock box Privacy or respect of it is one of the biggest motivating factors with sellers when choosing to use a professional auctioneer over a realtor. Why on earth would someone want 10,000 people to have 24 X 7 access to their home? I could start on lock box horror stories but y'all have heard those before. My question is how can someone make a 1/4 million to 1/2 million dollar decision on a home that has not been appraised and inspected prior to being placed on the market? We usually have the inspection completed, appraisal, aerial photographs, … (6 comments)
