Buying At Auction
You are about to embark upon the process of buying property at auction. If this is new to you, we can show you how easy it is by using our FREE Information and Practical Advice.
Learn about The Three Reasons Auctions Will Always Be Relevant To Buying, The Advantages of the Auction Transaction Method and Four Tips for Attending Your Next Property Auction. Your decision to bid at auction first starts by viewing our scheduled auctions. We do our very best to have as many photos and video available for you to preview items but there are some consignors that have so many items to sell that it would be hard to capture each with a photo or video. We also have auctions where we are able to send you a catalog or make it available to be downloaded to your home computer to print. We have auction previews before the sale at scheduled dates and times. Private showings of real and personal property can be arranged by contacting us.
The prices we realize at auction is sometimes news worthy but many as well are well within the grasp of simply raising your bid card and letting us acknowledging your bid. We are your resource for auctions of real estate, luxury homes & properties, estate resolution, commercial, farm, machinery & heavy equipment, antique, collectibles, coin, jewelry, gold, silver, bankruptcy, autos & more. Do Not Let Your Inability From Attending One Of Our Events Stop You From Participating.
If you plan on bidding online, you may register through our website where you will then be approved for bidding online. We also offer bidding by telephone. You may contact us after you have used our online pre-registration. We then will verify your registration and ask you some qualifying questions and prepare you for live bidding by telephone. All our auctions are computerized and we provide you with a detailed summary and accounting of everything you purchased at auction.
