The Auction Avantage for Sellers

Sell in about 90 days or less
The more expensive or unique a property is, the longer it typically takes to sell using conventional methods. Having a specified date on which you intend to sell creates a sense of urgency, and helps to speed up the entire sales process.

Give you control over the sales process
You set the date and time of the sale, as well as the terms and conditions. Because potential buyers know you are committed to sell on a specific date, they do their homework in advance and show up prepared to bid, freeing you from the hassle of dealing with insincere offers and contract contingencies.

Get maximum exposure
By compressing the sales period, we can carry out a more aggressive marketing strategy, providing maximum visibility for your property. In addition, we can tailor our campaign to reach the target market most likely to be interested in your property.

Get a fair market price
Many luxury properties have few 'comparables' upon which to base a true appraisal. As a result, the seller runs the risk of asking too much or too little. An auction eliminates that problem because it establishes the real market price. In fact, an auction is the purest method for establishing the true market price based on the 'highest and best' use of the property.

Close in 30 days or less after the auction - without contingencies
If you've ever 'sold' a property contingent on financing or on the sale of the buyer's property, you know how frustrating that can be. Holmes-Larsen auctions are contingency free, so you'll be able to make plans based on an on-time closing.

Eliminate the cost of carrying your property
A property that remains on the market for an extended period can become a serious drain on the owner and the owner's equity. Mortgage payments, maintenance, taxes and insurance can add up to thousands of dollars a month for some properties. An auction by The Larsen Company helps you eliminate those costs that erode your equity, and will net you the highest price possible.

Reach the broadest possible range of qualified bidders
Our experienced marketing staff knows how to put together the right combination of advertising (local, regional, national and international, depending on your needs), direct mail, public relations and direct sales efforts to bring your property to the attention of qualified prospects wherever they may be.
