Should You Sell Your Property at Auction or in a Private Sale?

If you’re ready to sell your commercial property, residential asset, or vacant land, you command several options. Depending on your timeline and goals, you can partner with a traditional real estate agent, sell the property yourself, or choose the high-energy route of an auction at Auction Solutions, Inc. Each option has distinct advantages and drawbacks. When you weigh the benefits and risks of a private sale versus an auction, you position yourself to maximize your property’s value and make the best decision for your needs.

Pros and Cons of Selling Your Property Through an Auction

The auction process breaks away from traditional real estate selling. Rather than scheduling endless showings and waiting for offers, you present your property to a competitive group of eager buyers simultaneously. Bidders actively pursue your property, and the highest bidder claims it—provided their bid meets your minimum requirements. If you’re considering an auction, understanding the entire process and your options will empower you as a seller.

Understanding the Real Estate Auction Process

Selling through auction typically unfolds in multiple stages, beginning the moment you engage with an auction company. It starts with a comprehensive analysis to determine whether your property is a strong candidate for auction.
Next, you set the wheels in motion. Decide whether to set a reserve price, guaranteeing you won’t sell below a certain amount, or opt for a no-reserve auction to encourage aggressive bidding. Professional auction advisors can guide you on the best approach for your reserve strategy.
You also select the auction format that suits your needs best—live, online, or a hybrid. Your preferences and situation shape both the timeline and auction date.
Once you’ve locked in your auction type and schedule, your auction company will execute a targeted marketing campaign to attract potential buyers. This phase usually runs for about 30 days leading up to the auction.
On auction day, competitive bidding drives momentum. The winning bidder, if meeting your reserve, signs a purchase agreement immediately, putting you on track to close the deal within 30-45 days.

The Two-Thirds Rule for Real Estate Auctions

To determine whether auctioning is your ideal path, consider the “two-thirds rule”: if two out of these three factors favor auction, move forward confidently.
