Differences Between Brokerage & Auction

By
Commercial Real Estate Agent

I am asked a lot about the differences between auction and traditional brokerage.  Below are some of them.

 

Auction Event

Traditional Brokerage

Focus on your property alone

Property is one of many

Results in 30-60 days

Market time may be extensive

Buyers are on your timeline

You wait on the buyers

Auction provides catalyst to promote buyer interest

Price reductions utilized to create buyer interest

Realizes property true market value – No limit to upside potential

Potential is limited due to asking price

Eliminates guesswork of determining asking price

Seller risks overpricing and increasing holding time or under pricing and selling short

All conditions are set in advance – no negotiations

Seller negotiates all aspects of the sale

Property is sold with no contingencies

Contingencies are common

Pre-qualified buyers

Buyers qualify after contract

Multiple offers are presented to seller before and during the auction

Few offers are received, multiple offers are rare

Good morning Richard,

If you are talking a true action house than the days on market is correct.

Some of the new internet auction sites are generally longer to get the price they are looking for.

Make yourself agreat day.
