Real Estate is one of the best investments your client can make, but what do you do when your clients need to turn a hard asset into cash quickly AND in a way that addresses everyone’s concerns/needs?
The best thing you can do for your clients at this moment is offer them options to address their problems... fortunately, we have the solutions!
Trophy Properties and Auction has become one of the leading real estate companies serving the Midwest while excelling at both traditional real estate transactions and Auctions. We are an experienced team of professional Realtors serving the Land, Commercial, Residential, and Auction markets.
We offer specialized help to families who are struggling with the decision about their inherited property. It is common for heirs to have varied opinions and goals and we can help you navigate those tough conversations and decisions.
Often we are asked to meet with a family to discuss the many issues and opinions related to selling real estate. It can be a challenge to bring the important factors out and help the members sort out a solution that makes personal and financial sense for all. It's a great time for selling in the midwest, demand is high and supply is low!
No matter your clients’ situation, we can partner with you to help them sell their real estate in the most efficient way, bringing them top dollar, and setting them up for success in their next stage of life.
When the opportunity is right, an auction can bring the highest return for your client.
With the traditional listing process, the buyer presents the seller with their terms and the negotiations start from there. With the auction process, the seller sets the terms of the sale. These are cash contracts with no contingencies, the property is sold as-is where-is, and you have cash in hand in 60-75 days.
Leading up to our online auctions, an accelerated marketing campaign is implemented to generate national interest and register bidders. When these bidders register for the auction, they are committing to the terms set by your client and are ready to close quickly. These are cash contracts with no financing or inspection contingencies. Your client sets the reserve, the terms, and the timeline - putting the control in their hands.
From start to close, the process averages to be 60-75 days. Resulting in less carrying costs - like taxes, maintenance, and general liability for your client. It expedites the process and takes the emotion out of choosing and negotiating.
The auction process creates a competitive bidding environment, assuring your client gets FULL market value and your client turns their asset into cash.
We are the Auction Experts
While many real estate companies are just starting to do auctions, we’ve been successfully conducting internet auctions for over a decade and we are the Auction Experts serving Missouri, Illinois, Kansas, and Iowa.
We've successfully conducted hundreds of auctions in just the last few years. Our results speak for themselves.
We are the internet auction experts when it comes to selling real estate.
We’re working exclusively for your Client
Unlike traditional listings, there is no chance of dual agency when it comes to auctions. We work exclusively for your client, the seller, to maximize the value of their property. And unlike other auction companies, we welcome other brokerages to bring their buyers and will pay those agents if their clients are the winning bidders.
Either way, your client is taken care of and they are getting top dollar.
Auctions can also offer you and your client creative solutions to complicated problems - like selling large assets, dealing with complicated family dynamics, managing deadlines for 1031 exchanges, lower commission rates for the sellers, etc…
Our award-winning marketing department helps sell your property for top dollar and attracts bidders and buyers from all over the country. Our agents are your local land experts, they will be with you every step of the way and take care of your property as if it was their own.
Not every property is right for an auction, and neither is every seller. If the seller doesn’t want to sell at auction, we can accomplish their goals via the traditional listing process.
No matter what your client is trying to achieve with their real estate, we do what is best for your client, and can help them sell their property.
We love the auction process, but we will be the first ones to say if a property or a seller isn't a good fit for an auction. If you don't want to do an auction, no worries. We do hundreds of traditional listings every year and can help you navigate that process, whether it is Land, Commercial, or Residential.
Defined Sale Process: Auctions typically have a defined marketing period followed by a set auction date, which can lead to a much quicker sale compared to waiting for a buyer through a traditional listing.
Competitive Bidding Environment: Auctions create a sense of excitement and urgency, often resulting in competitive bidding among motivated buyers, driving up the final sale price.
Transparency and Fairness: The auction process is open, transparent, and conducted according to established rules, ensuring a fair playing field for all interested buyers.
Firm Sale Date: With a traditional listing, you never know exactly when (or if) your property will sell. Auctions provide a firm sale date, giving you certainty and allowing you to plan accordingly.
Auctions can be an effective selling method for various types of properties, including residential homes, commercial buildings, vacant land, and even unique or distressed properties that may be difficult to sell through traditional channels. While we are known for selling land at auction, any property can be a potential auction candidate.
Auctions can also be an effective tool for selling an entire estate, including personal property in the sale.
Auction fees vary depending on the property.
Generally, the commission paid by the seller from an auction is much lower than what they would pay when selling with the traditional listing process.
Depending on the property, there might be additional fees like a survey cost or a marketing expense.
We do not sell properties at absolute auction. Before we take the property to auction, we work with the sellers to set a realistic reserve price.
With our auctions, the seller is always in control of the process and only has to sell the property if they are happy with the results.
Our job is to market the property to attract as many qualified bidders as possible. The auction process is the ultimate way to find the true market value of the property.
Auction sales are typically considered final and legally binding once the highest bid is accepted. Buyers are usually required to bring a non-refundable deposit or earnest money to the auction, minimizing the risk of them backing out after the sale.
