Real Estate Auctions

By
Real Estate Sales Representative with Fieldstone Real Estate

Auctions are just one more tool, which can be good for both buyers and seller in today's market. As they are being used with increasing frequency, I get more and more questions... and I hear potential buyers saying things that they assume to be true.....but which are completely wrong. Sadly, I also hear inaccuracies about auctions and intimidation with the auction process from real estate agents.

So, as a Certified Auction Specialist, and an agent who works with both buyers and sellers, I thought I should make an effort to educate the public on the process. As it is a large topic, I will attempt to share what I know through a series of posts...which are intended to educate buyers, sellers and the general public.

Have you ever encountered sellers or investors running bid sales, i.e. their own "silent auctions"?  Its a technique that is being used increasingly by investors to move slow properties.  From what I've seen, with some degree of success.
