AUCTION EVENT |
TRADITIONAL SALE |
Begins by establishing date, location and terms of sale. |
Begins by establishing an “asking price†and seller must negotiate all aspects of sale. |
The advertising is extensive and very visible, exclusively featuring your property. |
Heavy reliance on MLS, minimal advertising and reliance on other brokers to find buyers. |
Marketing period is accelerated to 60 days or less |
Property may remain on market for months or years |
The property is showcased throughout the entire marketplace and freezes other sales. |
The property is one of many being advertised and shown, just another listing. |
All buyers are forced to act on your time schedule, date, time and place. |
Lacks the ability to motivate buyers, forcing you to wait for their schedule. |
Auction creates a sense of urgency. |
Price reduction commonly used to create buyer interest and activity but many buyers are gone by then. |
No limit on upside potential. Realizes the property’s fair market value. |
Upside potential limited by asking price. |
Eliminates guesswork in determining the asking price of the property. It will sell for market value and seller does not leave “money on the table†|
Seller risks overpricing and thus, property sitting on the market, or under pricing and selling too cheap. |
Presets all conditions of the sale, thus eliminating all negotiations. |
The seller is forced to negotiate all aspects of the sale. Buyer makes offer in their favor, not sellers. |
Buyers compete to own and all offers are presented at the auction. |

Property sold in 60 days and closes in 30 days thus eliminating expensive carrying costs. |
Mortgage payments, taxes, insurance, etc, continue until property is sold. Length of time to sell is unknown. |

Normally contingent upon buyer’s financing, inspections, appraisals, etc. |
Non-refundable down payment money, all cash closing. Sale not contingent on financing. |
Refundable earnest money, buyer can easily back out |
The most desirable division of property has a dramatic impact on marketability. |
Property is seldom divided, therefore limiting the number of buyers. |

Seller pays commission and closing costs are negotiable. |
