6. THE TRUTH ABOUT REAL ESTATE
AUCTIONS – SOURCE: NATIONAL AUCTIONEERS ASSOCIATION
• Auctions are no longer considered a last resort or discount
sales method for selling real estate in today’s marketplace.
• Auctions are quickly becoming the first, best and only choice
in many of today’s real estate markets.
• The National Association of Realtors® (NAR) approves
auctions and considers them a viable sales and purchase
option.
• ―Auction Fever‖ continues to grow as consumers continue to
demand products quickly and for the price they wish to
pay, win or lose. Auctions provide them with that option.
7. BUSINESS MODEL
• Provide alternate outlet to sell all types of Real Estate
• Traditional real estate sales model is dated and no longer best serves buyers or
sellers
• Amount of real estate sold nationally via auction continues to rise
• Typical transaction closes within 45 days or less

• Build local network of Real Estate, Banking, Title and Investment professionals
• Educate marketplace on auction as resource

• Hold heavily attended and highly profitable auctions for our clients
8. COMMON AUCTION TYPES
• Absolute Auction
• Highest bid wins regardless of price
• Absolute Auctions typically get the most bidding and more money for seller
• Greater risk to seller, but greater potential reward
• Minimum Bid Auction
• Minimum Bid Auctions begin at a minimum price established by the seller
• These offer a certain level of safety to the seller
• Usually not as attractive to buyers as an Absolute Auction
• Reserve Auction
• Allows seller to accept, reject or counter the ―winning‖ bid, for any reason
• Offers most protection to the seller
• Typically reduces number of bidders and thereby lowers sale price. Bidders not as
motivated

12. We don’t outsource. We are relationship
driven, not event driven, and have both business
development and project management staff in
virtually every market. No other auction company
has the infrastructure we have with local reps in all
50 states under one company. We are very pro
agent and Working with us is easy—and
beneficial—if you’re an outside broker.
13. • Marketing Plan
• Print, Billboard, Television, Radio can be utilized depending
on budget
• 4 – 6 week Marketing Blitz
• Billboards, Door hangers, Print, Postcards, Signage
• MLS listing
• Social Media blitz including auction industry websites
• Regular email blasts to network of Realtors®, Investors, Buyers and Builders
• 2 to 3 Open Houses held in weeks prior to auction

• Weekly Sellers Report detailing all marketing expenses and activity
14. MARKETING
• Marketing budget provided by sellers
• Residential marketing fee: $1,500 per property
• Commercial marketing fee: $2,500 per property
• Fee paid upon signing of listing contract
Lets say we have an auction of 20-30-50 properties. The way that
works, is we take that money and pool it and that’s how we charge
that little for that kind of property to get the kind of exposure that we
are talking about. Typically realtors only spend about $150 to market
properties, so as you can see here, the seller is getting a whole lot
more marketing for their money. Whatever funds that is
unused, would be refunded back to seller.
15. COMMISSIONS
• Breakdown
• 5% commission paid by seller to RealEstateAuctions.com
• 5% Buyer’s Premium paid by buyer to RealEstateAuctions.com, so if a
person gets the winning bid of $100,000 for a house, they actually would pay
$105,000 for the property.
• Cooperating Brokers receive 2.5% of sales volume
• Case-by-case option: 10% Buyer’s Premium in lieu of 5% commission from
seller
• This is very common practice in auctions to charge a buyer’s premium.
Some companies even charge up to 10% premium, again those charges are
typical and can be negotiable.
