Why You Should Sell Your Property at Auction
A real estate auction is the public sale where buyers compete for property by submitting bids. Alex Cooper conducts its auctions using its online bidding platform.
Auctions are often a faster and more convenient way to sell compared to a traditional listing. Plus online exposure widens your property's audience of active buyers.
A real estate auction may be right for you in the following situations:
• You need to sell your property quickly.
• You want to sell the property in as-is condition.
• Low inventory in the market. Let the market determine the value in real time so you are not leaving money on the table.
• You do not want to deal with a buyer financing contingency.
• You need to downsize your investment portfolio.
• You have a property on the market that isn’t moving.
• You recently inherited a property that you want to sell.
