Auctions Hervey Bay

An Auction is a process which allows interested parties to make competitive bids which establishes the current market value of the property at that time in an open, transparent and public forum utilising the skills of an experienced Auctioneer. Records handed down from ancient Greek scribes document auctions occurring as far back as 500BC. And, in fact, it was considered illegal to allow a daughte

r to be "sold" outside the auction method. Roman soldiers sold war plunder at auction. The auction drove a spear into the ground to start the auction. Today we use an auction gavel. The auction selling method has survived in the fullness of time and recognized as the fairest way of determining the current market value of an item. What a willing person is prepared to offer and what a stress free seller is prepared to accept. An auction can achieve great results and offer the following advantages:
• A set time frame for the sale of your property.
• Three stages within the selling process.
• Offers before auction, selling under the hammer, or post auction negotiation.
• Buyers are forced to act rather than procrastinate.
• Bids can only increase in value.
• An auction can be designed around a set marketing budget. Effectively taking price out of the equation with auction gives the scope for more people to see your property and gives you time to listen to where the market is and make more informed decisions

So if you are thinking of selling or wondering why your property has not sold, don't under estimate on of the oldest professions in the world, and the power of auction. Jim Sykes
