Do you have a high-end ranch or gentlemans ranch valued at $5 million or more that just won't sell?  You can continue to try selling it through traditional means, but that could takes months if not a year or more.  You'll spend thousands of dollars on carrying costs in the meantime.  You'll probably use one price reduction after another trying to get a buyer.  However, the buyers will continue to watch your price fall, because there is no sense of urgency to act.  This is why selling ranches and luxury real estate at auction is the answer.  We do what your real estate agent cannot do--assemble multiple interested parties on one day, create a deadline to act, and force a competitive environment on auction day that leads to selling your property at top dollar.  You can immediately stop dropping your price and put a timeline on when your ranch will sell. If it's a desirable property, this will cause buyers to act now, because they know tomorrow will be too late.

Our company operates in a specialized niche and has sold hundreds of homes and properties all over the country using this method.  We specialize in only high-end properties, have a great reputation and many referrals from previous clients.  Our buyers are pre-qualified, closings happen in 30 days, there are no contingencies, and properties are sold as is.  We get the property sold generally in 60-90 days.

If you would like to discuss the option of selling through auction, please call me so we can discuss your property to see if we can assist you.  We also work directly with real estate agents that refer clients to us and pay a referral.
