STREAMLINING A TIME-SENSITIVE SALE Auctions also help with time sensitive real estate sales. Maybe you’ve accepted a job offer that requires you to move to another town or even out of state by a specific date. This scenario could mean you need to sell your property ASAP. If you list your property using traditional methods, there’s no way to guarantee a solid offer by a set time. Although, with an auction you can choose the exact day of the sale rather than hoping decent offers come in soon. The auction ensures that all interested buyers come together at once on that day to allow you to reach your goal. And even if you started with a traditional listing method, an auction can be the perfect alternative if your original plan gets bogged down or falls apart.

TO SELL YOUR PROPERTY The term “auction” can sometimes seem like one is selling items cheap or out of desperation. While that may be the case in certain situations, more often than not – and especially in the real estate world – that’s not really accurate. People rely on auctions to move many of the world’s finest items like art, classic automobiles, racehorses… and yes, even real estate. When a seller wants to include personal property in a real property transaction, an auction can help sell everything at once. You’ll often find this with estate sales where equipment and machinery for farms, restaurants and the like are up for bid. As one of the world’s largest auction companies, United Country Real Estate offers sellers numerous possibilities for unloading unique and time sensitive property, both through in-person and online-only auctions.

Western Colorado. A traditional farm and ranch broker can handle the sale of the real estate, but what about the equipment? Many farms have thousands of dollars of equipment to sell after the real estate transaction. Not that you need hundreds of items or an incredibly expensive asking price to condone an auction sale. In fact, online auctions allow a single item to be listed, with bids accepted until the auction ends. This process allows the seller a chance to market equipment and other items to a national database of bidders, so that any personal property is sold at a fair value. If what you’re looking for is a “one stop shop” for your real estate and equipment sales, United Country is a great option. A broker can help you sell your real property, while an auctioneer can assist with your personal property sales.
