A real estate auction is the sale of real estate at a fair market value, using a competitive bidding process.

The auction method allows for sellers to sell their property “as-is”, in as little as 30 days. High impact marketing is one of the key factors to the success of the auction. The following information will provide sellers a quick overview of the auction process.

Prior to selling your property, one of Alliance Bid’s auction advisors will evaluate your property for an auction. They will also gather facts and information that will be used as part of the bidder package.

Property Evaluation/Due Diligence:

Auction Proposal:

Alliance Bid’s auction professional will than put together an auction proposal outlining how the property will best be offered, for example should 1 or more parcels be offered, what type of marketing plan should be implemented, and scheduling a timeline of events.

One of the key factors in a successful auction is a high impact, accelerated, comprehensive marketing plan. “A plan to get your property SOLD”. This marketing plan will be custom designed to ensure exposure to your buyer’s profile. Marketing implementation usually begins 6 weeks prior to your auction date.
