“Our auctions are delivering results for our clients! Auctions are the fastest and most efficient way of selling real estate. Auctions create urgency on the part of buyers - a date of the sale establishes a clear point at which a buyer must decide if they want to buy a property. With traditional real estate listings, especially in soft real estate markets, there is less urgency on the part of buyers to make an immediate decision. In addition, our energetic and property-specific marketing campaigns capture the attention of qualified buyers throughout America. Finally, our flexible cost structure and willingness to entertain offers prior to the auction allows us to produce results for our clients” said Sarah Brewer, Director of Business Development for Realty Corporation of America.
