Listing Your Property on the Real Estate Market
or Selling at Auction...     Which is best for you?

How you sell your property is a very important decision and the staff at Advantage Auction & Realty, Inc. is here to help you feel confidant in the method you choose. When trying to decide whether to list your property for sale on the real estate market or to take your property to auction, be sure to take some of the following points into consideration.

Listing Property On The Real Estate Market		Selling Property At Auction
Listed properties join the mass of others for sale in the area. You can expect different agents from various agencies to show to your property... often at the spur of the moment until your property sells.		Auctions are set for a specific date and specific time. The focus is solely on your property, setting it apart from regular listings and attracting buyers interested in YOUR property. It's very difficult for conventionally marketed property to compete with property being auctioned.
Listing your property means heavy reliance on the Multi Listing Service... small ads with very little customization and exposure.		When you place your property for auction, several 4’ x 4’ auction signs are placed strategically and in high traffic areas to advertise your auction. Display ads are placed in the local newspaper as well as customized direct mail-outs to potential buyers or investors. In addition, your property is promoted on the internet on more than 90 websites. It's also advertised on our web site, averaging hundreds of hits per week, with multiple photos and full details of your sale, giving your property exposure to potential buyers around the globe.

While looking through listed properties there's very little motivation for buyers; you wait for them.		With auctions, buyers act on your schedule and with the often competitive nature of auctions, motivation runs high!
When listing a property, it's customary to negotiate all aspects of the sale with the potential buyer.		As a seller with property at auction, you pre-determine the terms of sale.
Traditional sales "set" the price while the potential buyers bargain it "down" often making contingencies upon updates and/or repairs they would like made to the property.		The auction process realizes the property’s fair market value with the possibility of bargaining "up" the final sale price.
Buyers have a large supply of properties to seek out and view for comparison.		With the auction, a sense of urgency is created to promote buyer interest and motivation.
