Questions
Frequently asked questions
If your question is not here, call the office and we will answer it directly.
What are the benefits of selling a property at auction versus listing it traditionally?
Auctions create urgency, encourage competitive bidding, and establish a clear sale date — which means no drawn-out negotiations or waiting months for an offer. They are especially useful for unique properties, estates, time-sensitive sales, or when market value is uncertain.
Who should consider selling their property at auction?
Sellers who want a quick, transparent sale with motivated buyers are strong candidates. We work with banks, attorneys, government agencies, estates, and private individuals across a wide range of property types.
What kinds of properties can be sold at auction?
Almost any kind: homes, multi-family, commercial and industrial buildings, land, and acreage. See What we auction above for the full list.
Are auctions only for distressed or foreclosed properties?
Not at all. While auctions are often used for foreclosures or court-ordered sales, many sellers choose the auction route to control the timeline and bring serious buyers to the table.
Can you auction commercial real estate?
Yes. We have extensive experience with commercial property auctions, including office buildings, retail space, medical facilities, warehouses, and income-producing properties. We understand how to market these assets to the right audience.
How are auction properties marketed?
Each auction includes a customized marketing strategy using a mix of digital advertising, signage, direct mail, email campaigns, MLS exposure, and outreach to our network of investors and buyers.
Do I need to accept the highest bid?
Many auctions are held with reserve, meaning you can set a minimum acceptable price. Others are absolute, meaning the property sells to the highest bidder regardless of price. We will help you decide what is best based on your goals.
How fast can you sell my property through auction?
Most auctions are completed within 30 to 45 days from start to close. The timeline includes marketing, auction day, and a typical 30-day closing window for the winning bidder.
Can I auction land or large acreage?
Yes. We have handled everything from small residential lots to large agricultural and recreational tracts. Auctions work well for land because they attract investors, developers, and end-users who may compete for the opportunity.
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Chattanooga and licensed to conduct auctions in Tennessee and Georgia. For property elsewhere, call us; depending on the property and scope, we can often still help.
