When buying real estate, would you like:
• The transparency of seeing other competing offers?
• No negotiation period?
• The ability to fully inspect your potential purchase?
• A set date of sale?
• The opportunity to get a good deal?
• To eliminate the seller and broker from any decision
making?
• To eliminate broker favoritism?
• To eliminate discrimination?
• To eliminate the (behind the scenes) process traditional
real estate adopts when making an offer?
Then Choose a Real Estate Auction!

Auctions vs. Traditional Sale for Buyers
Here’s a look at how an auction is better for the buyer
than a traditional real estate sale
AUCTION METHOD
Known date of sale
No buyer/seller negotiations
Open, fair bidding. No “best-guess” offers
Bidders determine Fair Market Value
Buyers receive comprehensive due-diligence information
Set closing date, usually 30 days or sooner after the auction date
TRADITIONAL METHOD
Sales process may take weeks or months
Negotiations are often the sticking point in the process
Offers can be rejected with no feedback
Pricing is often set unrealistically
Rarely is fully-detailed information available early in process
Closing date is often TBD

What types of auctions will I encounter?
There are three popular options:
• Absolute Auction
• Minimum Bid Auction
• Auction With Undisclosed Reserve
Let’s take a look at an overview of each type of auction
- 8. Highest bid wins. Absolute Auctions generate by far the most interest
among buyers because of the opportunity to win the property with just one
more bid.

Auction Bidding Types
Minimum
Bid
Auction
Bidding begins at a minimum, acceptable price to the seller. Less popular
among bidders than the Absolute Auction, a Minimum Bid Auction
nonetheless is attractive to buyers because the starting bid is typically set
low enough to potentially provide a reasonable deal for the buyer.
Absolute
Auction
Reserve
Auction
Only the seller, the auctioneer and the Auction Specialist with
RealEstateAuctions.com knows a confidential minimum price at
which the property can sell. Buyers may find this option less
compelling because of the unknown minimum threshold their
bidding needs to reach in order to purchase the property.
- 9. What methods of auction will I be able to bid?
There are three primary ways you’ll participate in an auction:
© 2014 RealEstateAuctions.com All Rights Reserved
• Live, In-Person Event
• Online-Only Event
• Live / Online Hybrid Event
Let’s see how each of these methods are defined
- 10. When most people think of “auction,” this is it. This type of event features a live
auctioneer in an open-outcry setting. Qualified bidders raise their numbered paddles
or bid cards when they wish to bid at the announced price, which is publically
acknowledged by the auctioneer. A live, in-person event is typically held at a hotel
ballroom or conference center for multi-property listings, or onsite at the subject
property for a single listing.

Auction Methods
Online-Only
Event
Perfect for a listing or listings in which a live, in-person event isn’t practical. With an
Internet connection and a computer, bidding can be done from almost anywhere, on
properties located almost anywhere, using the RealEstateAuctions.com Online Bidding
Platform.
Live,
In-Person
Event
Live / Online
Hybrid Event
A great combination that melds today’s technology with tradition to throw open the
doors for bidding from in the room, across town or across the world.
- 11. Question & Answer
Q: Aren’t auctions used only for foreclosures and
distressed properties?

auctioned. It simply is the fastest, most efficient and most
transparent way to buy and sell.

- 12. Question & Answer
Q: Does RealEstateAuctions.com ever offer listings
that can be purchased other than via an auction?
A: Yes, select properties are sometimes available for sale
without an auction. Use the contact information at the

- 13. Question & Answer
Q: Where do I obtain information about the property in
which I am interested?
A: We provide a comprehensive BIP (Bidder Information
Package) downloadable via our website that includes many
pertinent documents about the property. In addition, we
encourage an inspection visit at an open house we will hold at
the subject property, on an announced date and time.

- 14. Question & Answer
Q: How exactly do I take part in an auction?
A: First, you must be a qualified buyer. That means able to
purchase with cash, or with financing already in place. This is
one of the main reasons auctions are fast and efficient. With
qualification already in mind, let’s look at an onsite auction
followed by an online auction.

- 19. How Much?
How much will it cost for me to buy real estate at an
auction?
Buyer’s are charged a Buyers Premium, which is a
percentage added to the “hammer price” (when the
auctioneer’s gavel falls to indicate a sale) of a property.
© 2014 RealEstateAuctions.com All Rights Reserved
Example:
$150,000 hammer price + Buyer’s Premium (4%)*
= $156,000 final sale price.
*Buyer’s Premium will vary
