   Auction is one of eight ways to sell any house—and really there are two kinds of auction, right?: there’s the professional auctioneer and the “self auction” like at 5day.com. Learn more about the book I wrote explaining all 8 ways at methods4homeselling.com.
   Makes sense that all methods for selling homes are gaining in popularity and more so as we head into colder weather, more days on market, more inventory… that’s why I’ve cataloged them and give their pros and cons in my new book ‘the 8 ways best ways to sell your house’. It is great for anyone who’s not contractually committed to a certain way of selling—great for FSBOs, people with listings expired or about to expire, or anyone on the brink of deciding to sell and wondering where to turn for advice (from a source who’s not biased about the answer!).

   Mr. Frank’s comments are exactly right about the fact that there are many different ways to sell your home. That’s because every seller has his/her own unique situation and individual needs. Our company of professional Auctioneer / Consultants help sellers who aren’t sure about what is best for them. The Auction method of marketing is a true fit for only about 5-8% of sellers - those who need a time-defined sale and who are willing to take true market value for their home (open-competitive bidding between serious qualified buyers). Our company has established relationships with Realtors who we know and trust to take care of the best interests of those clients who would be better served by traditional listing. It’s certainly exciting to see the Real Estate Auction Industry growing (a more than $14 Billion increase in a year where every other segment of the real estate industry is reporting declines!) Great reporting Real Estate Bloggers!!!

   As a seller an auction is an intriguing opportunity to sell your home. Ebay and Craigslist have enabled the seller to conduct an auction, though using a professional helps ensure the transaction is handled legally and ethically. However, as a buyer an auction is not the best option for purchase. Competing against other buyers drives up the price in a market where the deal is in the purchase not the sale.
