For those of you who are considering, or are in need of selling your property, there is a method of selling which may have escaped you; Auction! Auction is a great way to sell a property quickly and, in a lot of situations, get the best offer. There could be many questions about who chooses auction, and why it is the chosen.Most all real estate can be sold by auction. Here are some factors which can help you determine if it is right for your situation.

Perhaps you saw the home sold at auction in the movie Happy Gilmore. In the movie the property was seized by the IRS as a result of accidental tax evasion, and auctioned off as a means of retrieving the lost revenue. Auction is often chosen as being the most efficient way to turn property into cash as soon as possible. For some people the need to sell their property fast comes from some desperate situation like this, or a death in the family, divorce, or sudden move. However, the possibilities for choosing to sell fast are really limitless. As an example most can relate to now, in many areas the market is currently a bit sluggish. Perhaps your property has already been listed for quite some time, maybe even about to expire.

Another factor to consider is the property itself. If there are a lot of properties in your area which are similar to yours, and the market is slow, there may not be enough competition to raise a fair price. Then again, if your property is unique in some way, whether by structure, amenities, or location, auction may raise competition, even in a slow market. Properties which stand alone in a certain area are difficult to appraise, so often the best way of getting the best price is auction.

A realtor is the most effective resource you can have to help you determine if auction is the best method of selling property in your situation. He or she will have perspective on your property as it relates to the current market, and help you choose the best method of sale for your personal situation.
