You may have questions concerning how property auctions work, especially if you've never sold real estate at an auction before. We've answered some of the most commonly asked questions on the process in the following property auction overview.

How does a Tranzon auction work?

Here’s an example of a typical property auction process.

1. Contact

If you are interested in finding out how the professionals at Tranzon can help you sell your real estate, give us a call or fill out our FREE Property Consultation. One of our professional real estate auction advisors will be in touch shortly to talk to you about the next steps you can take toward selling your property.

Everyone’s situation is unique, so we’ll ask some questions to get to know about you, the property you’re selling, and your goals for the sale. Using this information, we can walk you through the ideal solution for your needs and decide whether a property auction is the right service for you.

2. Planning

Tranzon’s expert team will assess your goals, analyze the potential market, and present you with a customized strategy for effectively reaching the right buyers for your property using Tranzon’s Market-Making System™. This plan will include our recommendations for how to structure the sale as well as how we plan to find and target the right buyers.

During the planning period, we'll help you understand more about the marketing and selling process, property auction fees and tips for ensuring your property auction moves along as efficiently as possible.

We will advise you on the best strategy for structuring your sale -- for example, if you should set a reserve price, and whether to hold your property auction live on-site, online or as a simulcast (live and online) auction — depending on your situation and unique needs. During the planning process, we'll discuss these options more in-depth to come up with your ideal solution.

3. Marketing

When a strategy for the sale is agreed upon, we’ll go to work — aggressively marketing your property to a targeted audience in order to build awareness among serious buyers. Circumstances may differ, but we will usually market your property for 30 days prior to the sale date. We’ll keep you informed with detailed reports about the effectiveness of our marketing along the way.

4. Sale Day

On sale day, pre-qualified bidders will compete to buy your property without contingencies, and the winning bidder signs the purchase agreement that same day.

Bidders will compete only after receiving all the necessary information to make a decision. Each bidder comes prepared and pre-qualified to purchase your home or property.

5. Close

Because your buyer is pre-qualified and there are no contingencies on the sale, closing is typically a straightforward process that takes 30-45 days.

This proven method of selling real estate, combined with Tranzon’s depth of expertise, has been successful time and time again for the sale of all types of property, including commercial, industrial, residential, recreational, and land.
