Auction Day
Excitement, confidence and competition are the three essential elements to a successful auction event and everything about an auction conducted buy the RE/MAX Preferred & Auction team is carefully orchestrated to provide these elements.
​
Confidence
One of the most important auction-day functions is to provide much of the information needed for buyers to bid with confidence and enthusiasm. If the auction is on site, we give them another opportunity to take a look at the property and provide answers to their follow up questions. This also gives us one more opportunity to point out the features of your property, emphasizing its value and to build a rapport with the bidders that helps us to start with the strong bidding once the auction begins. Finally, we work to make sure each bidder understands what to expect before, during and after the bidding to ensure that everything goes smoothly.
​
Excitement
Many people who have attended an auction conducted by RE/MAX Preferred & Auction describe the atmosphere as electric. Our auctioneers, considered among the best in the industry, first explain the the terms of the auction and give a narrative of the property's highlights.
