The sale of real estate through public auction is becoming more and more popular. Houser Auctioneer's success in bringing real estate buyer's and seller's together is unmatched. If you are thinking of selling or buying at Public Auction, please give us a chance to show you what we can do for you. Below you will find some common questions I receive about real estate sales at auction. If your question is not there, please let me know and I'll be happy to get you the answer. Real Estate Questions: 1) What is the opening bid? There is very rarely a minimum opening bid at one of our auctions. We like to say it is not where you start but where you finish that counts. That being said, Houser Auctioneers prides itself on successful real estate sales. We do not take auctions where the seller is looking for an outrageous or unattainable price. Instead, we consult with the seller on what is a reasonable ball park amount. Often times, the price will start low, however, real estate is real estate and in the end, the price almost inevitably finds its way into the ball park figure. That is one reason why we are so successful with real estate. Honesty in the value of a property gives realistic expectations to the seller. 2) Can you tell me what the reserve is? With any real estate auction, the seller almost always retains the right of reserve. In other words, the seller can reject the purchase price and declare a no sale if they deem an insufficient bid. Again, Houser Auctioneers does not take a sale outside the realm of probability. Although we cannot reveal the reserve price, we will be more than happy to discuss the ball park range we feel the property should reach. 3) How do I buy a real estate at auction? Buying a real estate is just like buying anything else...but it's usually a bit more expensive. Often times there will be an open house the week prior to sale. There you can ask specific questions. If you miss the open house you can always walk through/ask questions right up the sale of the property. On the day of sale, you will register with a valid ID. Next, the property will be offered (usually around noon at most sales). The auctioneer will start by reading the terms and conditions of sale. This usually takes 5-10 minutes. The terms and conditions generally state properties are being sold free and clear of all liens/debts. In addition, they state the terms for payment and settlement. Finally, they emphasize you are buying as is. It is very important to note that if you bid at an auction, your final bid is a binding contract witnessed by the entire crowd. It is often video taped and backing out can be extremely costly. Also, when you bid, you are guaranteeing you can obtain financing for the final sale price. Failure to have financing pre-approved, would result in forfeiture of the down money (usually 5-10% depending on the sale price). Immediately following the sale of the property, the winning bidder will sign contract papers for the purchase price and provide down money. From there, all you need to do is wait until the closing proceedings which usually occur 15-45 days later. 4) Are there any guarantees: In short, usually not. We will always do our best to answer any questions you have about the property. If we don't know the answer, we can usually find out.
