Testimonials
“My husband and I had no experience with the auction process before our trusted real estate agent recommended working with AuctionFirst. They are very sharp people, good marketers, and most of all caring and trustworthy people. I was fascinated with how the auction team was very attuned minute/minute and day/day to the ‘pulse’ of our house, the market, the interest, responses, etc. and would adjust their marketing plan to maximize the best possible outcomes. The biggest surprise was that our house went under contract ten days after the auction sign went up and there were two competing bidders. The final auction price was $120,000 higher than the last MLS list price. We had just left for vacation never expecting that our home would sell so quickly. We signed the purchase contract in a little internet cafe underneath a bowling alley in Lithuania!” Ann Gordon
“I was looking for an efficient way to sell my home. The market in my area is very soft for re-sale. Using the auction method brought serious buyers. I also felt that I was in control of the process and that AuctionFirst was really going to work for me rather than just treating me as another listing. The auction team gave me their straight opinion of market rather than just sugar coat it to get a listing. It was a very fast way to sell an existing home in a very soft market and I liked the no contingency aspect so that I did not have to fool around with fixing anything. In my view this process saved me a minimum of $20,000.00 in holding costs vs. the conventional real estate method. I strongly recommend AuctionFirst to sellers. They have a unique approach to selling a home that works brilliantly!” Mark Najam
“I was initially skeptical about an auction but willing to try anything after a contract on my property had fallen through. Not only did AuctionFirst achieve a much higher sale price than expected, but the sale closed in 30 days with no contingencies. They treated me with great care and respect that I’ll call them in a heartbeat when I’m ready to sell my next property.” Mark Perry
“What a wonderful auction – it went smooth as silk – a very professional presentation. There were many remarks from attendees that they saw the auction advertising all over the place – so the marketing on the house was definitely solid. The response to this was awesome and we did reach our Magic Number. Would I do it again? Absolutely! You will be in safe hands if you choose to go with AuctionFirst.” Brenda Moser
“Our house had been sitting on the market for several months, and with more and more homes in our neighborhood entering the market, a sale did not seem imminent. We were concerned and nervous that we would need to continue payments on an empty home while living in another state. Additionally, new construction nearby was being offered at about the same price of our home. Our real estate agent had heard of AuctionFirst and recommended we try it. We were initially skeptical and wary of the success of an auction. But the results speak for themselves. The AuctionFirst team did an excellent job communicating with us each step of the way and bringing fresh attention to our home through their accelerated marketing plan. We are very grateful for the terrific job they did in quickly selling our home and would recommend their services to everyone.” Harold and Kes Messinger
“This was the first home I’d ever owned. I loved being so close to downtown with easy access to work. There were so many things to do in that area. Although I knew that the house would probably sell quickly, I didn’t want to take any chances although I still wanted top dollar. Another agent I’d talked with wanted me to spend about $3,000 fixing up some things. Since I was already out of state, this would have been a complete hassle. I liked the AuctionFirst approach and the auction results were incredible. Next time I need to sell a property, it will definitely be with AuctionFirst.” Greg Cohen
“When I found out that I was relocating and had to sell, I immediately worried about the inconvenience. My friend recommended AuctionFirst which was a perfect solution to my problem. The auction team did an awesome job and I was amazed at the interest they generated. This is an awesome concept and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants more control over selling their home.” Kristy Stewart
“Thanks again for helping sell Mom’s house. This was such a smooth process for us and I commend you and your team. It’s hard being out of town and trying to sell a house. This is an awesome idea and you really made me feel comfortable with your expertise and knowledge.” Charlotte Goldberg.
“The AuctionFirst team did in six weeks what two other traditional realtor services couldn’t do in six months!” Kenneth Whitfield
