Sold 'er!
Holding an auction is a innovative way to make quick, easy money from otherwise
valueless assets. It is much simpler than hosting a garage sale or posting each
item in the classifieds. An auction will be completed at a set date meaning time will
not be an issue. Above all, auctions are fun and exciting for both the host and the
bidders!
At Auction Pro, we have experience handling the pressure situations that bring
many people to the decision of an auction. We take pride in being timely and
productive.
What types of auctions are there?
•Absolute - auction where the property is sold to the highest qualified bidder with
no limiting conditions or amount. The seller may not bid personally or through an
agent.
•Consignment - An auction where many different sellers allow an auctioneer to sell
their assets.
•Reserve - An auction in which the seller reserves the right to establish a reserve
price, to accept or decline any and all bids or to withdraw the property at any time
prior to the announcement of the completion of the sale by the auctioneer. See
also Auction With Reserve.
•Minimum Bid - An auction in which the auctioneer will accept bids at or above a
disclosed price. The minimum price is always stated in the brochure and
advertisements and is announced at the auctions.
Appraisals
An appraisal is an opinion of the fair market value of one or more assets. The fair
market value is the price at which a buyer and seller are willing to transfer
ownership of the asset.
Many of us are familliar with getting our houses appraised and our appraisal
service at Auction Pro is quite similar to this (albeit much cheaper!). Whether court
ordered, family instigated or plain interest in the value of your assets, we dig deep
at Auction Pro to appraise items for our clients. By no means are you required to
have an appraisal before you decide to have an auction but it may help you
determine if the auction will be worthwhile.
Using techniques such as comparison shopping, discovering selling prices, expert
opinions, poll opinions and adjusting the value for any depreciation of the asset,
we uncover the most accurate fair market value of any appraisal firm in West
Michigan!
