Why Should You Sell Off Condos at Auction?

By choosing to auction condos instead of simply listing them for sale with an agent or broker, you get access to a number of valuable benefits:

  • You determine when your condo will sell: Why let your condo linger on the market for an indefinite period of time? Our process gives you the freedom to choose the exact date when your auction will occur. All potential buyers will crystallize at one location at the same time – you won’t have to bear the inconvenience and burden of showing your condo multiple times.
     
  • No shortage of qualified buyers who are ready to buy: Our worldwide marketing scope, which is facilitated by the use of our revolutionary Global Internet Reach system, means you will likely have access to a pool of hundreds or even thousands of qualified buyers who are ready to bid on your property. Your condo will garner plenty of interest, even during a down real estate market.
     
  • Accelerated sales process: Our condo auction process is designed to speed up the entire transaction. The property is awarded to the highest bidder at the conclusion of the auction – you don’t have to waste time negotiating with multiple prospective buyers. Additionally, all transactions are guaranteed to close within 45 days of the sale date.
     
  • Fewer hassles and additional costs: You will be able to sell your condo in as-is condition with no contingencies. You won’t have to spend a substantial amount of time and money renovating your property. You also won’t be saddled with any costs such as transfer taxes and title search fees – they’re the responsibility of the buyer. The buyer also handles any associated closing costs.
     
  • Unbeatable closing rate: Speaking of closing, you will have few worries about something going wrong at settlement that could jeopardize the deal. Our 99 percent closing rate all but guarantees a successful sale.
     
  • Fantastic service and support: At Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, we’re willing to do whatever it takes to produce a successful sale. It begins with a free initial consultation where we explain the entire condo auction process from start to finish.

How Condominium Auctions Work

We’ve designed our condo auction process to be as easy and hassle-free as possible. We invite you to meet with our knowledgeable real estate representatives for a free consultation. This allows you to gain a full understanding of our methodology from start to finish. It also gives us the chance to learn about your property — and let you know what to expect from the process. We’ll discuss important issues as commission structures, costs and fees and much more. The information gleaned from the consultation will help us formulate a detailed selling strategy for your condo.

After the consultation, we’ll develop a comprehensive auction and marketing proposal, which will lay out how and where we plan to market your property. Our extensive knowledge and experience enable us to select the most cost-effective marketing vehicles that will attract the attention of the highest number of qualified buyers. We’ll also use our deep connections within the condo real estate market to find the right buyers for your property on a local, regional, national or even a global basis.

Regarding the actual auction, our condo auctioneers will help you select the best event type for your situation. Options include an in-person auction where all interested buyers come to the property at a prearranged time to place their bids. We also have a popular online condo auction format where buyers use their Web-enabled computer, tablet or smartphone to enter the bidding process remotely. Hybrid condo auctions consisting of a combination of the two methods are also available.

 

Explore the Advantages of Buying at Condominium Auctions

Buying a condo at auction also has its benefits:

  • Dealing with committed sellers: Our sellers aren’t just floating trial balloons to gauge the level of interest in their properties. They must make a full, irreversible commitment to selling their real estate. You will have the confidence of knowing the condo is truly on the market.
     
  • You help to establish your own purchase price: Auctions enable you to engage in competitive bidding with others who are interested in the same property. This is a genuine example of market pricing – you and your fellow bidders determine the actual sale price, not the owner of the property or other indefinable market conditions.
     
  • No more haggling over price: The fact that you and your competitors ultimately set the price of the condo also means you won’t have to enter into any extended price negotiations. The amount of your successful bid is what you actually end up paying for the property – case closed!
     
  • Get all the information you need to make an intelligent buying decision: The worst time to discover that something is amiss is after you’ve closed the deal on the property. As a Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group buyer, you will have upfront access to comprehensive information packets so you can do your due diligence prior to the auction date. You will be able to move forward with a high level of confidence.

You set the terms and conditions and even determine the date and time for your auction.

  • Sell farmland at true market value: The competitive bidding process that is inherent in the auction method increases the likelihood that you will sell your farm property for its true market value. The pitting of qualified buyers against one another can actually drive the price of your property well above what it would sell for on the traditional real estate market.
     
  • Accelerate the sale of your property: Have you ever listed a property for sale, only to watch it languish on the market for weeks, or even months? When you sell farmland at auction, you know exactly when the sale will transpire. This can be extremely beneficial when planning your short- and long-term financial future.

Our Farm Auction Process Also Offers a Number of Valuable Buyer Benefits

If you are looking to purchase a premium farm property in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey or Florida, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group can provide:

We only work with individuals who are willing to make a full commitment to selling their farmland. You won’t waste precious time pursuing what turns out to be a dead end.
     
  • Help in setting the purchase price: By engaging in a competitive bidding method, you and your fellow bidders actually determine the final sale price of the property – not the seller. This helps ensure you will ultimately be paying a fair, market-driven price for the property.
     
  • Fair competition for every farm property: We go to great lengths to create a level playing field for all prospective buyers who participate in an auction. Every auction includes terms and conditions that are fair and equitable for everyone.
     
  • Prior access to all essential property information: You never have to worry about purchasing what turns out to be a “pig in a poke.” We make available comprehensive due-diligence packets for every farm property prior to auction that eliminates the guesswork and helps you make an informed buying decision.
     
  • Fast, seamless purchasing transaction: We have designed our farm auction process to be as smooth and seamless as possible. Successful bidders purchase the property on the specified date. The no contingencies sales process also eliminates any closing hassles or having to wait an extended period of time to finalize the deal. All transactions close within 45 days of the sale date.
     
  • Convenience of online bidding: Many of our farm auctions are conducted online. This means that if you don’t reside in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey or Florida, you can use your computer to bid on properties and complete your transaction from your home or office.

Why Sell Industrial Property at Auction?

Industrial property auctions offer a number of advantages for sellers, including:

  • Access to a large pool of qualified buyers: Our exclusive Global Internet Reach system will attract a large number of qualified buyers from around the world who are ready and willing to bid on your property. These prospective buyers crystallize at one location at the same time.
     
  • Competitive bidding that can boost the sale price: With a traditional sales process, you set an initial price for your property with the hope of ultimately negotiating an acceptable final price. When you choose to auction industrial property, it introduces the element of competitive bidding where the buyers determine the market. In many cases, this will drive the price much higher that you could ever hope to attain via standard negotiating methods.
     
  • Selling industrial property much faster: An industrial property can sit on the market for many months without even a nibble. The beauty of industrial property auctions is that you know exactly when your property will sell – you will establish the exact date for your auction. Our 99 percent success rate gives you the confidence of knowing that your property will sell on the predetermined date.
     
  • Selling your property on an as-is basis: Our revolutionary auction method allows you to sell your property with no contingences, ensuring a fast, seamless transaction. You set the terms and conditions, and the buyer pays all associated transfer charges.
     
  • Reduced selling costs: By selling your industrial property at auction, you can avoid many of the costs associated with traditional real estate transactions. Sales commissions are typically lower and may not even apply in some cases. Buyers also pay most or all of the closing costs, which can save you a substantial amount of money at settlement.
     
  • Full assortment of industrial auction services for sellers: As a seller, you get the benefit of a wide range of value-added services, including the development of a personalized marketing campaign that will attract more qualified buyers to your auction. We can help you reach thousands of interested, qualified buyers in the most efficient, cost-effective manner.

 

How Industrial Real Estate Auctions Work

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group makes it easy to auction industrial real estate. The process begins with a free consultation where you will meet with our friendly and knowledgeable industrial real estate representatives. We’ll carefully explain all the steps involved in the process so you’ll know exactly what to expect. During this initial meeting, we’ll learn more about your property and generate ideas regarding commission structures, marketing strategies and so forth.

If you choose to move forward, we’ll work with you to develop an in-depth marketing proposal, which will contain specific details regarding where and how you wish to market your industrial real estate so you will reach the greatest number of qualified buyers. This can include information such as names of publications for advertising your auction and a listing of other promotional tools. You’ll benefit from a cost-effective marketing strategy that will generate more interest in your industrial property than you would receive via the traditional real estate sales methodology.

Your industrial property auction will take place at the date and time that works best for you and your selling requirements. Depending on your situation and preferences, you can choose to hold an on-site auction, conducted by our professional industrial real estate auctioneers, where prospective buyers will visit the property at the designated time and submit their bids.

An increasingly popular method is the online auction, where buyers bid via the Web. You can stage a full international online auction or limit it to domestic buyers only. Many sellers prefer to combine an in-person with an online event to broaden the scope of the auction.

 

The Benefits of Buying Industrial Properties at Auction

The many advantages of being a buyer at a Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group industrial property auction include:

  • Faster transaction time: Auctions eliminate the long, drawn-out negotiating process. Your winning bid determines your final purchase price, without having to haggle back and forth with the seller. All transactions are also guaranteed to close within 45 days from the sale date.
     
  • Dealing with motivated, committed sellers: Any property owner who chooses to sell a property at one of our auctions makes a sincere commitment to the process – they’re not just testing the waters.
     
  • Greater control over the purchase price: The market-driven nature of the auction process gives buyers maximum input when determining the actual price for the property. You and your fellow bidders set the market for the property – not the seller.
     
  • Preventing unfair competition: Our auction methods eliminate the possibility of inequities in the selling and buying process. If you submit the highest bid for the property and are able to close the deal, you take ownership of the property – it’s that simple.
     
  • Being a well-informed buyer: We go to great lengths to eliminate the guesswork involved with purchasing a property. As a qualified buyer, you will have access to a comprehensive information packet that enables you to conduct your due diligence prior to the auction. You will know exactly what you are bidding on when the time comes.
     
  • Multiple methods for participating in an auction: While many of our auctions are live on-site events, others offer the convenience of online bidding from your home, office or wherever you have internet access. The combination of these two methods is rapidly becoming a more commonplace occurrence in the modern auction environment. You may also be able to participate in a sealed bid auction, where you and other bidders simultaneously submit bids to the auctioneer, with the highest bidder earning the right to buy the property.

why-should-realtors-work-with-auction-companies

You might be familiar with an auction as an accelerated approach to selling property to the public. You might also be aware that auctions attract attention, expanding your network of buyers while also raising sales prices through a competitive bidding process. But these are only a few of the many reasons why real estate auctions are the sales model of the future.

 

Auction Benefits for Brokers and Realtors

Why should realtors and brokers work with an auction company? Let’s consider some of the many benefits of showing your listings at auction:

  • Broader market – Auction companies are skilled at marketing properties to potential buyers, ensuring a property stands out in the marketplace. Direct sales efforts help find qualified buyers at auctions, increasing the likelihood of a profitable sale. You can also include a number of properties in a single auction through combination bidding, minimizing the marketing expenses needed for separate auctions while further increasing your network of potential buyers. The increased visibility of the auction process can even attract interest in any of your non-auction properties.
  • Commissions – There are opportunities to earn profits by 1) referring a broker or agent to an auction company, 2) registering a buyer who purchases property at an auction or 3) listing the property that sells at an auction.
  • Eliminate uncertainty – An auction can eliminate pricing uncertainty by assuring the property will be sold at its fair market value.
  • Increased revenue and market share – Developing a niche market with successful auctions will help generate referrals and return business. This, of course, translates to increased revenue.
  • Reduced carrying costs – A longer sales process can involve considerable carrying costs, such as taxes and maintenance. By reducing the time frame of the process, your client can reduce the carrying costs of property maintenance and keep costs from chipping away at equity.
  • Reduced timeframe – Real estate auctions can significantly reduce the timeframe for the sale process. Once the client sets the date for the auction and terms for closing, the process becomes much faster. This can be extremely helpful if your client has been struggling to sell the property for a while or if a quick sale is needed. In short, the seller determines the timetable so their home can sell more quickly at auction.
  • Simplified negotiations – Because auctions set the terms and conditions of sale beforehand, there’s no longer a need for negotiation. With an auction, you can set the time and date of the sale, the timeframe for closing and the amount of earnest money deposits. Since buyers review the terms of the sale and come prepared to buy on those terms, there’s no seemingly endless back and forth.
  • No Contingencies  – Auction sales are not subject to financing, home inspections, surveys, radon testing, variances, etc.
  • True market value – An auction will make it easier to sell your property at the true market value.
  • Urgency – The format of an auction — fixed date and competitive bidding — fosters a sense of urgency for buyers, forcing them to complete due diligence and line up finances by a particular deadline. If buyers don’t want to miss out on an opportunity, they will make an effort to prepare. The alternative is a traditional process that can take months for everyone to firm up a mutual commitment.
  • Global Market Platform – An online auction method allows you to accept bids from anyone on the floor while simultaneously accepting bids from anyone anywhere in the world.

auction-benefits-for-realitors-brokers

Additional benefits include the following:

  • Ability to sell property as is, without contingencies
  • Creating a list of ready, qualified buyers for sellers
  • Developing expertise to distinguish your services from the competition
  • Enhancing your image as a full-service professional
  • Offering current and prospective clients new selling and buying options
  • Possibility of forcing a sale prior to auction

An auction simplifies what could be a tough sell, eliminating the likelihood that a property will remain unsold for a lengthy amount of time. If you think added visibility, coupled with a speedy process, might benefit your listings and give you an edge over the competition, then you should give real estate auctions serious consideration.

 

Auction Benefits for Sellers

What benefits realtors and brokers also benefits sellers. Consider the following reasons for sellers to auction their property:

  • Accelerated sale
  • Aggressive marketing program to increase interest
  • Buyers prepared to buy
  • Competition among buyers, increasing auction price
  • Knowing when the property will sell
  • Less need to push for a sale
  • Many pre-qualified buyers ready to buy
  • No need for unscheduled showings
  • Reduction of carrying costs due to faster disposal of the property
  • Sell at true market value

 

Auction Benefits for Buyers

With auctions as one of the most effective methods of selling real estate, even buyers benefit. Consider some of the benefits for buyers:

  • Access to comprehensive information with due diligence packets
  • Buyer determines the purchase price
  • Knowing the closing and purchasing dates
  • Knowing the seller is committed to sell
  • Possibility of getting many offerings at the same time
  • Receiving fair terms, same as with other buyers
  • Reducing the negotiation process
  • Smart investment purchased at fair market value

Auctions are truly a win-win for everyone involved.

When Are Properties Suited for Auction?

Auctions have often been used to sell distressed properties, but they’re also an easy way to sell non-distressed properties. An auction is an ideal choice if the property:

  • Has equity of 25% or more
  • Is unique
  • Has high carrying costs
  • Is vacant
  • Is difficult to appraise

Auctions are also useful if a property can benefit from the following:

  • Additional attention or marketing focus
  • A competitive bidding process
  • A definitive timeline

Auctions are also suitable when the seller needs immediate cash, needs to liquidate an estate or is moving out of state. In addition, auctions can be well suited for a seller’s market, an emerging market, a dull market or a changing market.

 

Ways to Market Real Estate With an Auction Company

market-real-estate-with-an-auction-company

There are a number of ways to earn a commission from an auction sale. Even if you don’t have a property to list, you can still benefit from the process by referring business to an auction company:

  • Referring broker or agent – Referring a seller to an auction company earns a referral fee. If you’re having trouble marketing a particular property, a referral fee offers an opportunity to earn something. Referring brokers have the following responsibilities:
    • Helping the seller analyze the market and their needs to fully assess the auction benefits.
    • Referring the seller to a professional real estate auction company.
    • Replacing any sale listing agreement with an auction contract.
    • Notifying the MLS that the property will be sold at public auction.
    • Collecting a referral fee from the auction company upon closing. 
       
  • Cooperating broker or agent – In addition to auction commissions for referrals, a cooperating agent can earn a commission by registering a buyer who purchases a property at auction. Cooperating brokers or agents accompany the bidder to pre-auction events and register the potential buyer. The cooperating broker or agent can be subagents, buyer’s agents or dual agents. Responsibilities include the following:
    • Calling auction companies to be added to their mailing lists.
    • Attending real estate auctions to see how they work.
    • Advertising as an agent or broker who understands how to sell property at an auction.
    • Attending pre-auction open houses, as well as meeting and registering prospective buyers.
    • Determining the market value of properties prior to auction.
    • Learning how to earn a commission for registering a successful buyer.
    • Learning the terms of the auction.
    • Registering the bidder prior to auction and assist the bidder with auction strategy.
    • Collecting the commission upon closing.

If the bidder becomes the buyer, the cooperating broker or agent will be the one to accompany the buyer to the contract room as well.

  • Listing broker or agent – As a listing agent, you’ll market the seller’s property at auction and also represent the seller throughout the auction and closing. You receive a larger commission for your efforts, although you’ll need to share a portion with the auctioneer and other involved parties. A listing agent designation is more appropriate for anyone seeking a more substantial role in the auction process. The relationship between auctioneer and listing agent can be mutually beneficial, even if the listing agent has little experience with auctions. Responsibilities include:
    • Canceling any sale listing agreement and replace it with an auction contract.
    • Notifying the MLS that the property will be sold at public auction.
    • Providing a fact sheet on the property, in addition to local licensing information.
    • Performing a market analysis.
    • Completing due diligence.
    • Securing a sign, photographs and keys for the property.
    • Securing property maintenance and also supervising property management.
    • Holding open houses for inspection.
    • Helping bidders with the pre-qualification process.
    • Providing progress reports to the seller.
    • Helping the auctioneer with the bidding process.
    • Accompanying the buyer to the contract room.
    • Helping the buyer with post-auction inspections and financing.
    • Assisting with any pre-closing events and will attend closing.
    • Collecting the commission check upon closing.

Auctions are basically a full-service shop that can generate a number of revenue opportunities for you and your brokerage firm.

 

Auction Strategies to Consider

Before auctioning property, it helps to have a clear strategy. Consider the following tips:

 

market-property-at-auction

  • Absolute Auction – An absolute auction is one in which a seller agrees to accept the highest bid, whatever the price. This approach can attract a high number of bidders. However, it may not be the best approach if a minimum is needed to clear costs. A client eager to get rid of a property regardless of the ultimate purchase price may prefer an absolute auction. Reasons to choose an absolute auction include the following:
    • Property sold to highest bidder
    • Guaranteed sale
    • High buyer interest
    • Maximum market response
    • More bidding participation

 

  • Minimum Bids – A minimum bid can ensure a sale covers costs. It can also prevent buyers from colluding to purchase property at a deflated price. Provided the minimum price is still well below market value, there should still be plenty of interest from potential buyers. If the minimum price is too high, however, it may discourage buyers from bidding. Reasons to choose minimum bids includes the following:
    • Bids must exceed published minimum price
    • Reduced risk for sellers
    • Sellers may limit interest to buyers willing to pay the minimum price

 

  • Reserves – By selling with a reserve, the seller retains the right to reject any bids. This is tantamount to having a minimum bid, without having to publish that fact. Using a reserve even allows a seller to bid on their own behalf during the auction. Reason to choose this type of auction include:
    • Minimum bid not published
    • Sellers predetermine price
    • Seller reserves right to accept or reject highest bid within a specified time 

It’s important to choose the right auction type for a given property. This is why it’s a good idea to discuss the above alternatives with auction experts, before incorporating them into your contract.

 

Auction Process

Before the auction process even begins, buyers will have access to an information packet, usually found online. If anyone is interested in participating in the auction, they will need a certified check for earnest money, which can vary between five and 20 percent.

The auction itself may involve the following:

  • A facilitator begins proceedings by reviewing the rules. Lenders may be on hand to answer financing questions. A presentation may show images of the property while listing key facts.
  • An auctioneer begins the bidding process, with potential bidders indicating an interest by lifting a numbered paddle. When only one bidder remains, the auctioneer can announce the sale of the property.
  • The contract and paperwork can be handled on site. Closing typically occurs within 20 to 45 days of the auction.

Real estate auction firms like Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group have the expertise to guide you through the auction process for a quick and successful sale.

Auctioning a House

When you auction your house with Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, you’ll enjoy numerous benefits — as well as the security that comes with knowing your home sold at true market value.

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group isn’t just your best source for selling standalone, single-family homes and duplexes. We can also help you auction townhomes and mobile homes.

How Does Auctioning My Real Estate Work?

Auctioning a house accelerates the sale process, saves you money and protects your long-term financial interests. When you work with Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, you’ll benefit from:

  • Serious, prepared buyers who are ready to make a deal.
  • A 99% successful rate of closing.
  • No contingency, as-is sale protection.
  • Transfer tax savings — transfer charges are paid by the buyer (Pennsylvania buyers only).
  • The peace of mind that comes from knowing when your house will sell, with all potential buyers in one place at one time.
  • Control over the terms and conditions of the sale that eliminates long-term carrying charges.
  • Not having ongoing, unscheduled showings that negatively affect your quality of life.

 

How Residential and Home Auctions Work

If you have a single- or multifamily home, town house, mobile-home park or any other residential property you’d like to sell at auction, the first step is to contact us to schedule a free consultation. Our experienced residential real estate auctioneers will explain the entire process from start to finish and answer all your questions. We’ll gather all the relevant details about your property and develop a comprehensive auction strategy that will deliver the fastest results. We’ll also discuss commission structures, costs and fees at this time.

We’ll also use the information obtained from the consultation to create a custom-tailored auction and marketing proposal designed to attract a high volume of qualified buyers to your event. Our home auctioneers are familiar with the publications and other tools and resources that deliver the biggest bang for the marketing buck. We can target your marketing strategy to local, regional, national or even global buyers or any combination — whichever makes the most sense for your situation.

Most of our clients have some knowledge of the live auction format, where buyers physically travel to the property and make bids in person. An increasingly popular alternative is the online auction, where buyers in remote locations can bid via computer, tablet or smartphone. We can set up and manage a home auction in either format or a combination of the two. All events are conducted by experienced residential real estate auctioneers who are dedicated to helping our clients achieve their selling objectives.

 

Sell Town Houses at Auction

Townhouses appeal to specific types of buyers, such as a single person who’s looking for an affordable starter home or a retired couple seeking to downsize from a larger house. The staff at Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group includes seasoned experts who understand what it takes to sell townhouses quickly at auction. We know how to develop a targeted marketing plan that will attract the right type of qualified buyer to your property. You will be able to avoid the time and hassle involved with listing your property with a real estate agent who may not be familiar with the nuances of this unique, specialized market.

One of the difficulties with selling a town house is distinguishing the home from similar properties in the area that are also on the market — maybe even in your own residential community. When you auction a town house with us, you are assured of getting the professional marketing assistance you need to let prospective buyers know what makes your home different from the rest.

We also know how to highlight the unique features that make your home stand out. In addition, we will help you emphasize the numerous amenities that are often found in or near many townhouse communities such as parks, fitness centers, playgrounds and walking trails.

 

Sell Mobile Home Parks at Auction

Mobile Home Parks appeal to a specialized segment of the market. However, it can be difficult to find a competent, qualified real estate agent who is willing to work with sellers. For this reason, it can make much more sense to auction a mobile home park instead of listing them with an agent. When you sell a mobile home park at auction, you can sell it quickly and stand a better chance of getting the true market value. For Realtors with a current mobile home park listing, teaming up with an auctioning company could be the answer you need when looking to sell your client’s park.

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group knows what it takes to auction mobile home parks in virtually any type of real estate market. We have a proven track record of successfully helping our clients sell their properties for top dollar — and on a hassle-free, no-contingency basis. We will aggressively market your mobile home park to thousands of prospective buyers at once, preventing the need for repeated property showings. What’s more, you won’t waste precious time searching for an agent who truly understands this highly specialized real estate market.

 

Why Buyers Love the Property Auction

Buyers love working with Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group — and not because they believe they’re going to purchase property at a below-market price. Buyers work with us because:

  • A fair price is reached through an open, fair and competitive bidding process.
  • Auction properties typically close faster than listed properties — usually within 45 days — and with the closing date already known.
  • They know the seller is ready to sell.
  • The auction eliminates a potentially lengthy negotiation process.
  • They receive comprehensive property information with a customized due-diligence packet.

Marketing Real Estate

Many property owners who intend to market real estate now or later need to consider the advantages of the auction process for moving their property — especially if speed and timeliness are major concerns. For example, although the commercial and residential real estate markets have made significant improvements throughout the United States, many properties continue to experience limited or negative net operating income, which forces property owners to support properties out-of-pocket each month. In addition, tenant bankruptcies — which cause unanticipated high vacancy rates — or anchor tenants that have vacated properties can make getting underperforming assets off the books a high priority.

Marketing commercial real estate and other types of properties via the auction process gives the seller control over some of the most important terms of the property disposition, including:

  • Timing of the Sale — 30 Days
  • Offering Structure
  • Seller-Friendly Purchase and Sale Agreement — The seller can make the buyers comfortable with the bidding process and the purchase by making the contract commercial lease reasonable and fair.
  • Financing Flexibility — Options include financing assumptions, structured seller financing and committed third-party financing.
  • Warranties — Sell the property “as is” or with limited warranties.
  • Fast Closing — Typically within 45 days after execution of the contract.

Even in a traditional real estate market, these properties can pose a significant challenge to sell in a timely manner and achieve maximum value.

Marketing Residential Real Estate

The sale of residential real estate at auctions has become increasingly popular because of the ability to receive 100% property market value in as little as 30 days. Everyday sellers should understand that auctions are limited to foreclosures or “fire sales.” Instead, many sellers have discovered the benefits of using auctions as a viable alternative to the conventional marketing techniques associated with selling residential real estate. Our professionals have the training to locate interested buyers and bring them to the property in a condensed timeframe to sell everyday real estate.

 

Marketing Luxury Real Estate

When marketing luxury real estate, the property must have maximum property exposure locally, nationally and internationally, which leads to more buyers waiting for the properties — and results in higher sale prices. Fortna Auctioneers puts your property on display for market-driven sellers who seek an alternative to conventional real estate marketing. Regardless of the market conditions — challenging or active — the auction process provides an exceptional approach to targeting highly qualified buyers and presenting them to the seller.

 

Marketing Commercial Real Estate

Property owners who market commercial property through the auction process appreciate the ability to control the most important aspects of the transaction — the terms and conditions of the sale. Unencumbered by the conventional real estate sales process, auctioning off your real estate results in several advantages for sellers, including lower transaction costs, faster closings and true market value.

Buyers also benefit when sellers choose to market their properties through Fortna Auctioneers. Purchasers not only participate in an open market, under the same rules as the competition, but they also know that they have a committed seller, and the buyers will determine the selling price.

If you're considering selling luxury real estate in Pennsylvania – or another state that we service such as New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland or Florida – Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group would like to speak with you. As one of the leading luxury real estate auctioneers in the country, Fortna provides aggressive and experienced marketing and auction services to serious investors.

 

How We Work

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group is a premier commercial and luxury real estate firm with over 30 years of history in the sale-by-auction industry. We develop customized marketing campaigns with an explosive edge to market your property to a global pool of qualified, prepared buyers. When you partner with Fortna’s luxury real estate auctioneers, you’ll have access to buyers you may not otherwise be able to reach through traditional sales methods. You’ll also get the true market value of your home at sale through an open, fair and competitive bidding process. The rules stay the same for all the players, not only a select few chosen by your broker.

Prior to sale, we’ll develop comprehensive marketing and due diligence packages for buyers that are customized for your home. Next, we’ll aggressively market your home to the qualified buyers we’ve developed business relationships with over our three-plus decades in the industry. These investors will be prepared to purchase your home at auction and close within 45 days. Every auction home is sold with no contingencies on an as-is basis, which saves you time and aggravation. It also saves you the carrying costs associated with owning luxury real estate — and assures you receive true fair market value.

 

Why Should You Auction Luxury Real Estate Instead of Using Traditional Methods?

Choosing experienced, capable luxury real estate auctioneers, such as Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, offers several advantages over the traditional sales process, which often consists of listing your property with an agent and hoping for the best.

One of the most important benefits is time. Because of their higher price, a luxury home or commercial building takes longer to sell using traditional methods — it may take months, or even a year or more to find an interested, qualified buyer. On the other hand, by setting the date for your auction in advance, you’ll know exactly when your property will sell.

When you auction luxury real estate, you also have a better chance of getting the price you want for your property. In the traditional real estate market, it’s a common practice for buyers to sit back and wait for the price to come down before making a serious offer. By introducing competitive bidding into the buying process, auctioning can have the opposite effect — several prospective buyers bidding on your property at once may drive the price up, which means you’ll reap even greater rewards from the sale.

The contingencies involved with selling a home or commercial establishment on the traditional market are often more complicated with a luxury property. The more contingencies that exist, the greater the likelihood the sale will fall through. Because you will be selling your property in its present condition with no contingencies or the need to make expensive renovations, you will experience a clean, hassle-free transaction from offer to settlement — auctioning produces a successful closing rate of 99 percent!

Speaking of closing costs, in a traditional real estate transaction, the buyer typically asks the seller to handle all costs at settlement. In many cases, this causes the seller to have to pay thousands of dollars out of his or her pocket. When you auction luxury real estate, you will pay minimal closing costs. The buyer pays for transfer charges such as taxes, title searches, deed preparations and so forth. As the seller, this means you will experience a more profitable sale.

 

The Benefits of Buying & Selling Luxury Real Estate at Auction

The benefits of the luxury auction are not limited to sellers. Buyers can also rest assured knowing they have the same opportunity to make a deal as every other interested party. Buyers also set the price — not the sellers — while eliminating the costly and aggravating hassle of prolonged negotiations. Buyers never have to worry about the seller’s commitment to completing a deal. Best of all, buyers and sellers know every consummated deal is the true market value of the property.

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group is the luxury real estate auctioneer that is driving the real estate auction revolution. If you’re interested in selling or purchasing luxury real estate in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Florida or New Jersey, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group is ready to help.

How Land and Development Auctions Work

If you are wondering how to sell development land but aren’t sure where to begin, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group would like to give you a complimentary consultation. Our knowledgeable land auctioneers will meet with you to learn more about your property and explain the sales process in detail. We’ll also establish the groundwork for a comprehensive auction strategy that will deliver the best return for your property. The consultation provides an excellent opportunity to gain a better understanding of the numerous advantages of selling your development land at auction compared to the traditional method.

When you’re ready to move ahead with the process, our development auctioneers will develop a personalized marketing proposal at an affordable price. The proposal will specify which publications and other advertising tools that we believe, based on our expertise and experience, will produce the best results for your situation. The goal is to ensure you will be able to reach as many interested — and qualified — buyers as possible at the lowest cost.

We’ll also provide reliable guidance for selecting the right auction type for your requirements, whether you’re looking to sell your entire land portfolio in bulk or an individual parcel. You can choose a traditional live auction where prospective buyers visit the property in person to place their bids. These days, many buyers prefer the ease and convenience of the online auction process, which enables them to bid remotely via the Web. Buyers can even download our Apple- and Android-compatible mobile bidding app so they can bid on your property with their tablet or smartphone. Another option is the blended auction, which combines the on-site and online formats.

Florida Real Estate Agents

A real estate broker is a person who acts as a link between a buyers and a seller’s real estate. This relationship is one of fiduciary responsibility, meaning that it is a relationship based on trust. Buying a house is probably the biggest investment you will ever make. It makes sense to find an agent that you like and trust.

As a buyer, you want to ask the agent how long they have been in the business and what kind of experience they have in looking for the style and type of home you are choosing. In other words, if you are looking for a luxury home, then you need to know that your agent has experience in handling deals of that magnitude.

 

Real Estate Agencies Florida

If you are selling a home, you have a lot more questions you really need to ask any potential real estate agent. Remember that they are negotiating on your behalf and have your biggest investment in their hands. You should ask the agent how long they have been in business, how many homes they have sold in the last six months, do they have any references that you can call, what kind of marketing plan they have for your home.

 

Florida Real Estate Agents

It is mandatory for the broker to have a license to negotiate the sale and purchase of property. The broker can act as either the proprietor of a company or as an agent for another company. The reason why it is a good idea to have a Florida real estate agent by your side is because they will be able to help you through every step of the process. Florida real estate agents search all of the listings in the area to find the perfect home for you.


Foreclosed Property Auctioneers

The steep drop in property values over the past seven years has created countless opportunities for investment in both commercial and residential real estate. Foreclosure auction company Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group can help you sell an unwanted commercial or residential property at its true market value, at terms and conditions established by you. If you’re interested in purchasing an REO property, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group will give you the opportunity to bid fairly and competitively, assuring your transaction closes at fair market value.

Understanding the REO Market

Auctions of REO properties by foreclosure auction companies have gained in popularity recently.  A foreclosure auction can be a quick and efficient way to buy properties, especially REO properties where the bank has had to take title to the property because it didn’t sell at a past auction.  When the banks, or other mortgage lenders, have to take back foreclosed properties, they will most likely use services of a foreclosure property company, like Fortna Auctioneers, to dispose of the property.

Increasingly, banks are using foreclosure auctions to unload their REO properties.  This trend should continue in the immediate future.  Banks need, and want, to reduce the inventory of held properties that they took back in a foreclosure.  These auctions have become more common as the number of homes with little or no equity has grown. Some properties have suffered negative equity — particularly higher priced homes that were recently purchased, i.e., since 2008.

 

What to Know About Purchasing an REO Property at Auction

Any qualified and prepared buyer has the right to purchase property through foreclosed property auctioneers. Unlike the traditional real estate market — where financing is secured after price negotiations — successful REO buyers should have funding prepared ahead of time.

In order to bid, the foreclosure auction company will require registration before the auction begins. Generally, the winning bidder must immediately make a deposit,  payable in cash or by cashier’s check. A typical deposit requires payment of 5% to 10% of the winning bid amount, and the final closure on the property usually occurs within 30 days (check with Fortna to see what the actual requirements are for a property that you may be interested in).  The deposit amount can and does vary from state to state and will generally be different for residential property versus commercial property.

Generally, at auction the properties are sold “as is”.  However, for REO properties there is generally a post-auction time allowed for inspection and adjustment in the price not available in foreclosure auctions where the bank has not yet reclaimed the property.  The best idea in either case is to inspect the property using a professional prior to the auction.  The condition of the property should affect the price you are willing to bid.  If the property is occupied, it needs to be understood what the terms are for the owner or tenant to vacate.  If not attended to prior to the auction and close, evicting an owner residing in the property or the tenant if you want to clear out the property can take a lot of time and be expensive.

Banks, and other lenders, use a foreclosure auction company because they want to move the inventory very quickly, especially if it is an REO property.  This presents the best opportunity for getting the property at a good price because the bank has already had to face the fact that the property wasn’t worth what they thought it was and are more likely to be motivated to sell at a lower price, even below the value they are carrying it for on their books.

Here are important steps to take to acquire REO properties at an auction:

 

Property Inspection

REO properties are sold by the foreclosure auction companies “as is”, although you may have a chance to inspect and adjust the price after the purchase.  Check with the foreclosure auction company to see if this measure is available.  Again, any repair costs should be subtracted from your maximum bid amount to determine how much you really want to bid.

 

Review the Property Description and Foreclosure Details

You should closely review the property description, legal documents, and other data provided in the property “package” or brochure.  It’s a good idea to have a real estate professional or lawyer also review the details because whatever is said is what you are bound by and what you acquire with your purchase.  Bidder eligibility, financing terms, deposit requirement, required closing date, any closing costs (the auction company will usually charge a fee), the actual purchase agreement laying out the property description and physical boundaries and any disclosures and other bidding requirements will all be in the “package” or brochure.  Again, you will be legally bound by these terms and conditions if you win the bid, so make sure you understand them before acquiring the property.

 

Have Financing Arranged

Once you have identified a property that you are interested in bidding on and have some idea of what it might cost to acquire, you need to arrange at least pre-qualification if not full qualification for financing.  The foreclosure auction company may have lenders onsite who will advance the funds to close on the property, but it is always a good idea to have your financing in place before the actual auction (keep in mind that commercial property will often require more than 20% as a down payment).  The closing date is set at the time of the auction and failure to follow through on paying the full purchase price will cause the loss of any deposit made.  The bank or other lender will generally not provide financing on the house being auctioned.

 

Pre-Registration/Registration for Auction

Most foreclosure auction companies will allow pre-registration either at their office or through their website. If you plan to bid at a live auction, you will need to be registered to bid.  Arrive early at the auction to get a prominent position where the auctioneer can see you and you can see the other bidders to learn of any last minute changes and to get an idea of how the “action” might occur.  Also, go to the foreclosure auction company’s website to make sure the property is still being auctioned and hasn’t been withdrawn.  Sometimes foreclosed properties are sold prior to the auction or the owner comes up with the necessary funds to preclude the auction.

 

How Foreclosed Property Auctions Work for Sellers

If you’re a bank, mortgage company, government agency or other REO property owner, our foreclosed property auctioneers can make it easier to sell your property at the highest price. Our process begins with a free consultation where you will learn about our methodology and provide us with detailed information about the property. Understanding your need to move your REO property as quickly as possible, we’ll work with you to develop a cost-effective strategy that will produce fast results.

If you choose to use our services, our REO auctioneers will develop a carefully crafted auction and marketing proposal that lists the resources and advertising vehicles that will attract the largest number of qualified buyers. In addition, we’ll tap into our extensive foreclosure network to identify and notify other parties who are likely to have an interest in your property. We’ll also prepare a detailed property package that provides all essential information about the property to prospective buyers.

We will also help you choose the best type of auction event for your situation. A live auction event conducted by our professional foreclosed property auctioneers allows buyers to get an in-person look at the property and engage in competitive bidding with other attendees. The winning bidder will then make settlement arrangements with our on-site team. Online events are also available that allow buyers to bid from their computer, smartphone or tablet. Another possibility is a hybrid auction that combines the live and online formats.

  • You get a true fair-market price for your property. Never again wonder if you could have done better with another deal or broker.

  • You can skip the hassle and expense of showings. Think wasting time on showings isn’t expensive? Think again.

For some properties on the traditional market, selling can take years. Do you want to pay upkeep on a property you’re no longer interested in owning?
  • You get access to an international pool of aggressive, savvy buyers. Traditional sales marketing may not reach the parties who are willing to pay the most for your property. Our connections in the real estate industry mean you have access to investors with deeper pockets.
  • Buyers pay most closing costs, including transfer charges. This includes title searches and deed preparation fees.
  • Buyers love auctions. Like you, buyers prefer to avoid prolonged negotiations. They also want to know they’re paying true market value for property. They want to compete fairly in an open market, and they don’t want to spend endless time negotiating over inspection results. You and your buyer can avoid these problems with Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group.

Commercial Real Estate Auctioneers

Every buyer would like to find and close an “off-market deal,”, i.e., not having to compete with other buyers. Some buyers say that’s the only way they do deals. If you can find the deals and do them, great; but the buyer has to know the right sellers and have a good reputation for paying a reasonable price to get the deal done and closed.

Call Us Today

Selling Commercial Real Estate

Sellers likely always want to get the highest price. But that’s not all. Seller need to know the buyer will close; and, that the transaction will not end up in litigation, the course sought by every buyer who has a problem in closing. Avoiding that risk is valuable to the seller. So, Seller may swap top dollar for certainty of the transaction closing, and avoiding unneeded litigation. Speed in closing also has importance.  Commercial real estate auctioneers find buyers and pre-qualify them giving assurance that the deal will close.

 

Casting a wide net to find a buyer may not all be good.  First, it’s a lot of work to deal with a lot of potential buyers. They all pay attention and ask questions. Few are stupid. They want information, attention, and have many questions.  Even if you use an online setting, each prospective buyer has questions, concerns, and their own issues. All of this will require your time and attention.  The commercial real estate auctioneer will handle most, if not all, of these questions and will co-ordinate with the seller to reduce seller’s time needed.

 

Once you come up with a “short list” of buyers, you still need to negotiate detailed contract terms.  This process will most likely involve the buyer’s smart, careful, and time consuming attorney (think “billable hours”, the goal of every attorney).  Many important, and necessary, questions will be raised that need to be addressed. Getting two attorneys to agree on what the issues are, let alone the resolution, can take a lot of time.  Your commercial real estate auctioneer can handle many of these issues, provide the data requested by the attorney, and greatly reduce the seller’s participation time.

 

The seller can often scare off the best purchasers by looking too far and wide for a buyer and then spending time dealing with all of them and their attorneys.  Buyers don’t usually have the energy or inclination to persuade a seller that they’re the best possible buyer.  The commercial real estate auctioneer can take the steps necessary to qualify the buyers without needing time from the seller nor upsetting or chasing away the buyers.

 

Getting a property widely known is an important part of the sale.  How will the qualified, interested buyer learn about your property if not advertised.  The commercial real estate auctioneer has a number of proven, useful ways to create buyer interest: their website; advertising; relationships with other brokers and with serious buyers; and, a knowledge of the market and current market conditions a seller might not have.

 

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group Can Ensure a Successful Commercial Auction

At Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, our goal is to provide the complete support you need to ensure you sell your commercial property quickly, seamlessly and at true market value. We have staged a large number of successful auctions for owners of a wide range of commercial properties, including hotels and motels, restaurants and bars.

 

Sell Hotels & Motels at Auction

The traditional process for selling a hotel or motel typically involves a number of steps. You will probably need to make some renovations to ensure the property is in peak condition and to maximize its attractiveness to prospective buyers. You (and your real estate agent) will then need to begin the tedious, time-consuming process of screening buyers, many of whom will be interested in doing nothing more than “kicking the tires.” When you finally locate a serious, qualified buyer, you will need to enter into protracted negotiations that could take several months or longer.

 

When you auction hotels or motels with the help of Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, you can eliminate many of these steps, which results in a faster, hassle-free process. You will be able to sell your property in “as-is” condition without having to invest in a major remodeling project. When you sell hotels at auction with us, you will work with qualified buyers who come prepared to buy. Depending on the property, these can include representatives from the major motel or hotel chains or private buyers looking to make a solid business investment. Because our process creates competition among several buyers, you are assured of getting the true market value for your property.

 

When you sell motels or hotels at auction, you also eliminate the lengthy negotiating process that can substantially slow down the process or even result in the sale falling through. And with our 99-percent closing rate, you can count on a successful hotel auction in virtually every situation. In short, when you auction hotels instead of listing it on the market, you will get the benefit of an accelerated sale at a price that could possibly exceed a negotiated sale price.

 

Sell Restaurants at Auction

Selling a restaurant can be much more challenging than when selling other types of commercial establishments. Many experts advise placing the restaurant on the market a minimum of six months prior to the desired sale date, although it can easily take a year or longer for the establishment to actually sell. Then, there’s the tricky step of determining the ideal asking price — you don’t want to frighten away prospective buyers by setting the price too high, but you also don’t want to lose your shirt by underselling.

 

You could enlist the services of a business broker who specializes in restaurants to handle your transaction, but you will end up paying a fee in the range of 10 to 25 percent. A better, faster, more cost-effective option is to sell restaurants at auction.

 

When you sell restaurants at auction with the help of Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, you will enjoy the advantage of knowing the exact day your property will sell. You won’t have to pace the floor for six months or a year waiting for buyers to show up at your doorstep. You also won’t be stuck with the exorbitant fees and commissions charged by other real estate professionals.

 

As a Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group client, you will also get the benefit of a detailed marketing proposal that we will prepare for you at a minimal cost. You will know exactly how and where your restaurant will be marketed to ensure you’re reaching a large volume of interested, qualified buyers. You set the terms and conditions of the sale, while also avoiding the transfer charges and carrying costs that are part of the traditional selling process.

 

Sell Bars & Pubs at Auction

Has it been several months or longer since you listed your bar or pub for sale? Are you having difficulty attracting qualified buyers — or any buyers? Even in the best of times, when businesses everywhere are booming, selling a bar for a profit isn’t easy and can take a long time. That’s why so many pub owners are choosing to sell bars at auction instead of relying on the traditional method of hiring a broker and hoping for the best.

 

At Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, we know how to auction bars and pubs in the fastest and most profitable manner. Our wide range of commercial real estate services includes bar auctioning that will help you sell your establishment for its true market value, in even the most challenging economic times. Our bar auctioning process is specifically designed to save sellers time and aggravation by crystallizing all prospective buyers at one location at the same time.

 

The first step to selling a bar at auction with us is to sit down with one our knowledgeable, experienced representatives. Our rep will explain the entire auction process and let you know exactly what to expect from start to finish. When you’re ready to move ahead with your auction, we will work closely with you to develop a customized marketing proposal that will effectively target the largest number of prospective buyers.

 

Our methodology also weeds out the “tire kickers,” ensuring that only qualified buyers with a genuine interest in purchasing your bar or pub will attend your auction. Your property will be sold with no contingencies for a price that is typically much higher than that of a negotiated sale price.

 

How Commercial Real Estate Auctions Work

Our time-tested process for selling commercial real estate works the same way for hotels, bars and restaurants. We start by offering a free consultation with a knowledgeable representative, which gives you the opportunity to learn more about the nuts and bolts of the auction process and our many value-added services. The consultation process also enables us to gather information about your property so we can begin to develop a cost-effective auction strategy.

Once you’ve decided that selling commercial real estate via the auction process is right for you, the next step is to create a customized marketing proposal that will serve as a blueprint for your promotional strategy. Our experienced commercial real estate auctioneers can provide valuable insight regarding the use of trade publications, targeted advertisements and other marketing tools to reach the greatest number of prospective buyers at the lowest cost. We’ll also implement any additional services you select, such as performing an appraisal of your property or conducting a current market analysis.

You also have the flexibility to choose the auction format that best suits your needs and preferences. You can select a traditional auction conducted by our experienced commercial real estate auctioneers, where prospective buyers come to the property at the predetermined time to place their bids in person.

If you’re seeking to reach the largest number of buyers, then an online format where buyers can bid remotely via the Web may be the better option — domestic and international online auctions are available. You can even have the best of both worlds by combing the live and online processes into one all-encompassing commercial property auction!

Real Estate Auctioneers in NJ

As the leading commercial and residential real estate auctioneer in NJ, Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group would like to speak to you about selling your property. We provide property owners with aggressive, targeted marketing and auction services — and have for over 30 years.

Serious buyers will compete for your property in a fair and open market, and you’ll earn the true market value — without excess carrying charges, transfer taxes and commissions. You’ll also avoid the hassles associated with time-consuming and disruptive showings, negotiations and more. When it comes to residential and commercial real estate auctioneers, NJ firm Fortna leads the nation.

Here are a few real estate areas we specialize in:

 

Why Our NJ Real Estate Auctioneers Beat Negotiated Sales

If you’ve ever sold a property on the traditional market, you’re probably familiar with the expenses and aggravation that accompany the process. Negotiated sales are expensive and inconvenient. They also take a long time and not every buyer is qualified for financing. You may even have to make repairs on your property before you can list it. And once you’ve accepted an offer, you have to manage ongoing negotiations, failed funding and cold feet that cause many solid deals to fall through.

When you partner with Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, we eliminate the stress associated with negotiated sale and get you the true market value price for your property. We’ll provide you with a free consultation to discuss the marketing strategy for your property. We’ll also develop a marketing plan and due diligence package that will attract a qualified pool of global buyers.

Every property is sold on an as-is basis, which means no extra expenses prior to sale. The interested parties will bid openly, fairly and competitively during the auction process. This sometimes results in a sale price that is better than what would have taken place in the negotiated sale market. You and your buyer will settle on your as-is transaction within 45 days, with the buyer paying most transfer charges.

Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group also:

  • Runs online, in-person and combination auctions
  • Eliminates aggravating negotiations that can kill your deal
  • Eliminates the hassles associated with upkeep and continuous showings
  • Provides access to serious buyers who are prepared and qualified to purchase your property at auction

Here are a few of the real estate areas that we specialize in:

 

How Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group Helps You Get the True Market Value of Your Property

Although listing and negotiating the sale of your property is one approach, it isn’t always the right choice for every seller. Negotiated sales are often time-consuming and expensive. During the marketing process, you must keep your property in saleable condition to assure the best selling price. Once you’ve found a buyer, agreeing on a price and negotiating discounts after inspection can be extremely stressful. Even if you and your buyer agree easily, there is no guarantee that the transaction will settle in a timely fashion. At Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group, we reduce the stress and hassle associated with negotiated sales.

The process begins with a free consultation. After we partner, we’ll develop a customized marketing plan and due diligence package for your property. We’ll leverage our deep industry connections to market your property to many of the most qualified, prepared buyers in the world. These sophisticated buyers will bid openly, fairly and competitively for your property. In many cases, the auction process results in a selling price that is better than what would have occurred in the traditional market.

Our Maryland real estate auctioneers can:

  • Run a fair, open and competitive auction that can result in a true-market-value sale of your property — This auction may be in person, online, or a combination of both.
  • Eliminate costly, frustrating and time-consuming negotiations.
  • Eliminate unscheduled showings and reduce upkeep expenses
  • Promise a fast, 45-day close when your property sells to a qualified buyer.

Is It the Right Time for Buying Debt Portfolios?

There is risk in every investment. Balancing that risk wisely while assuring the best possible return is the goal of every serious investor. Many professional investors and analysts around the world believe buying debt portfolios offers the potential for huge profits — but is now the right time? Here is what the experts have to share.

Is it time to buy real estate debt portfolios? As a Towers Watson professional notes, “Infrastructure as an inflation hedge and will be an area in the next three or four years that will continue to explode”. Although inflation fears aren’t as bad as they were when central banks began tightening in 2008, investors may still be leery of their overall debt exposure because the risk of default still exists.

A vice-president in the global real assets group at JP Morgan says to expect only low-to-moderate inflation. Still, “there is a case where inflation goes up significantly and its likelihood is not negligible”.   The investor should still seek to minimize or otherwise mitigate the risk because the effects otherwise can be very destructive.  A senior executive at BlackRock echoes that sentiment, noting there is no immediate concern about inflation; however, he feels that for index-linked liability-driven institutional investors, the risk of inflation must always be given top priority.

Research indicates there is a growing appetite for alternative asset classes among investors, especially for infrastructure, including buildings, roads and public works. In a survey of global institutional investors, holdings in alternative investments showed net during the first quarter of 2013. In addition, one-third of respondents anticipated increasing this allocation. If you’re among the investors or finance professionals who believe buying debt offers real opportunity, real estate portfolio assets meets this need.

 

Real Estate Debt Portfolios

Seventy-two percent of respondents who describe themselves as investors name real estate assets as one of the better candidates for increased allocations.  With interest rates still near their historic lows, it’s still the right time to buy real estate debt portfolios.  Right now, only 35% of the investors surveyed held less than 5% in real estate assets. With low asset prices, low-interest rates and over one-third of professional investors surveyed owning real estate with that number set to increase, the time to invest in a real estate debt portfolio is now.

There are more reasons to make a real estate debt portfolio part of your investment strategy this year. Real estate and other infrastructures’ popularity reflect investors’ desire for stability. Reducing risk was the second-biggest change investors expected to make to their portfolios this year, with many respondents looking to cut risk. What is the biggest change? Investor movement. The most common theme among surveyed investors is an interest in diversification into new asset classes that protect against inflation and offer the opportunity for significant capital appreciation.

In addition, JP Morgan agrees the data supports the theory that real estate as an asset class performs well during periods of high inflation when compared to stocks, bonds and commodities. Between 1972 and 1982 (the OECD’s last period of high inflation), US consumer prices increased at an average rate of 8.7% compounded.  During this same period, the S&P 500 index and US investment grade corporate bonds generated CAGRs of 1.8% and 6.8%, respectively. Commodities returned just 3.2%.

 

Summary for Buying Debt Portfolios

Inflation exposure can be reduced — but not eliminated — by a diversified debt portfolio. As an investor, you can balance the risk of investing in real estate debt portfolios wisely by purchasing them at auction.

By definition, a real estate auction is an innovative and effective method of selling real estate. The process has a built-in intensity and sense of urgency that assures the sale of the property at the true market value. Although you may not make decisions based on emotion, the fact is that 99 percent of auctions by Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group sell and close within 45 days. As a seller, you dictate the terms and conditions. You also avoid frustrating negotiations that can kill many deals and prolong the amount of time you’ll pay carrying charges. You’ll also avoid paying most closing fees or paying for an expensive marketing campaign that may not reach the qualified pool of buyers you need to secure the best possible transaction price.

 

Summary for Selling Debt Portfolios

As a seller, you benefit because you’ll reach the biggest pool of qualified, prepared buyers possible. Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group works with aggressive, professional investors from around the world. And these days, because of the Internet, the “pool” is not limited to local or regional buyers. It is a truly international arena.

That’s exactly why it benefits you to partner with the professionals at Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group. We are organized to offer your portfolio, full or partial, to an audience of potential buyers of your choosing…for sale by auction.

Our services include the traditional live auction, Internet domestic or full international online buyers, or any combination of the buying options. We discuss your situation, and mutually agree on the final buying strategy. In all cases, the buyers we find are prepared, and prequalified, to buy. Because of the competitive nature of the auction method, the likelihood of achieving a full market value return is excellent.

There are, of course, other great advantages to leverage our experience of over 30 years in business. These include:

  • Timely disposal of the properties reduces the burden of long-term carrying costs, maintenance and taxes.
  • Potential buyers are pre-qualified, and are large in number.

Developers

Selling off some of your portfolio has probably gotten much harder. Do the empty lots and vacant homes take a toll on your overall profits? Traditional methods of selling real estate have lost some of their effectiveness, especially in today’s economy.

Land auctions are continuing to be fast growing. It has become an accepted and very highly successful way of selling real estate today. Fortna Auctioneers & Marketing Group uses an explosive marketing campaign designed for your budget to maximize all of your potential buyers to one location to bid on your properties producing an offer and closing within 45 days.

Selling your portfolio individually or in bulk through the auction method offers many good “reasons why”:

  • Market the Portfolio in bulk. This saves considerable expense vs. breaking it out by property and advertising properties one at a time.
  • The auction method is the best way to move the group of properties in just one day, avoiding all the expense of carrying the inventory for a lengthy period of time.
  • Our extensive pool of buyers is ready to act. Your portfolio turns into liquid cash instantly. And the return represents true market value.
  • If you are selling multiple properties at once, the auction method is the only method that can offer “combination” sales netting you the highest possible price to be paid.

It’s a “win win” for any builder or developer looking to reduce their portfolio. The auction method is the only method that allows different lots, tracts and model homes to be sold in “combinations”. Allowing potential bidders to buy this way generates a higher financial return.

Our company differs from many other real estate auction companies in the area. We have international ties for buyers throughout the world. Our auction platform not only conducts live, on-site auctions, but also offer and accepts bids live over the Internet simultaneously with accepting bids from the floor. This reaches out farther geographically netting you more for each asset being sold. Over the years we have compiled an intense mailing list of aggressive buyers across the globe.

Our goal is to become your most effective method by which any real estate acquisition can be methodically disposed of quickly thus enhancing your financial bottom line. Call now for a free consultation at 1.855.831.4242.
