Agents… Do you have a listing you would like to sell at Auction?
The McBride Auction Team offers Cooperation / compensation on the listing side on all of our real estate auctions. Some firms have implemented “referral programs,” however we offer a “Co-operative team approach,” one where the co-op agent is paid a commission comparable to industry standards (example MLS Co-op). We are one of the few, if not the only, Auction firms in this region who offers fair compensation to agents who bring a listing to our firm to auction.
Listing Agents…We are here to help… See you at closing
How McBride Auctioneers, Inc. can help:
Hard to Sell: Hard to sell properties are those on which we co-op on most frequently. An infinite number of influences can hinder a property’s desirability. Many, if not all, listing agents have experienced, at one time or another, a listing for which they could not procure an able and willing buyer despite their marketing efforts. In most cases, our unique marketing and the appeal of a public auction will procure buyers for these “hard to sell” properties.
Tired Listings: Tired listings are those which have excessive “days on the market” (DOM). Many of these properties have seen several price reductions or none at all. In most cases these properties, after a short resting period followed by a new and time sensitive marketing campaign, will attract new and previously interested buyers to an auction. The efforts of a well conducted auction will result in excitement and new interest and appeal in that tired listing.
Hard to Value: Many agents will contact us to market those properties which are hard to “comp out.” Often very unique properties will lack comparable sales data. In an effort to not overprice or under price a property, agents will see the clear benefit in the competitive bidding system to determine the market value thus, resulting in a fair market value sale of that hard to value property.
As-is: Many properties may have mechanical or structural issues or perhaps minimal deferred maintenance. Often times sellers don’t have the means to correct these issues and therefore opt to offer their home/property in “as-is” condition. Selling a property in “as-is” condition is an acceptable and enforceable practice in the auction industry. In many cases “as-is” does not have credence in private treaty sales. Many agents prefer to market their “as is” listings at auction. Note: “As is” sales require full disclosure and is not a protective veil from non-disclosure of known defects.
Time is of the Essence: Many agents will have a seller who is relocating or is party to a contingency offer to purchase another property. There can be any number of time sensitive issues which require a speedy sale. When time is of the essence there are few means of sale, as effective as the auction process. Aggressive marketing, directly followed by an auction, takes an average of 45 to 60 days start to finish (closing).
Loss Mitigation: Many property owners have upside-down loan-to-value-ratios due to readily available 100% mortgages, maturing adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) and home equity lines of credit (HELOC). Life circumstances coupled with these types of mortgage situations have sellers wanting to downsize before an inevitable foreclosure process ensues. Many agents have found our assistance is valuable in selling these properties in a timely fashion and employing our experience in working with the loss mitigation departments of many mortgage companies. Don’t overprice or unjustifiably build equity into these properties. Let us help you determine the properties fair market value at auction.
