Services - Types of Auctions We Offer


Absolute Auctions

The word absolute is defined as being “free from restriction or limitation.” Absolute auction events are auctions when the product sells to the highest bidder regardless of price. 


Auctions with an Undisclosed Reserve Price

These are auction events in which the seller and auction firm mutually agree that the product will not sell unless and until an undisclosed reserve price is met or realized.  Quite simply, if the auction price does not meet or exceed the reserve price, the property does not sell.


Live Outcry Auctions

These are auction events that are held on site or at a neutral location, and are conducted by the auctioneer “calling the bid” in a traditional auction chant style.


Online Only Auctions

These are auctions that are totally conducted and transacted through 100% online bidding via the internet.  Typically, these are timed events where the buyer has a certain number of days or hours to competitively bid on property with a designated close time.


Live/Online Auctions

These are auctions where the seller and buyer can conceivably get the best of both worlds.  These auctions combine the “live outcry” method and the “online” auction method.  Buyers can choose either to show up at the auction and bid to the auctioneer “live on the lawn” or bid live real time online via the internet.
