Why would I sell my home at auction in Portland???

One phrase comes to mind: "Time is of the essence". This means diffferent things for different people. Here is some of the top reasons:

  • Foreclosure
  • Divorce
  • Partnership break ups
  • Estate sales after a death
  • Job loss

Sometimes you just have to wake up and look at yourself and your situation. It might not be pretty but it's like my Mama says: "it's rude reality". When your done opening your eyes. Take a look at the housing market. It's not pretty. My advice is this: "if you don't have to sell... Then don't!" If you do have to sell or have tried selling and couldn't then you really need to check out this site: www.PORTLANDhomeAUCTION.com.

Portland Home Auction offers a 90 day program that is designed to sell your home quick for the best possible price available in these market conditions.

I hope the best for you.

Will I lose $money$ if I auction my home???

A home auction doesn't necessarily mean you will lose money... How much will it cost you to hold your home for six months? I'm sure your Realtor promised it wouldn't take six months, but chances are the listing contract is for six months... That's odd. The fact is: A home owner that is selling a home is at the mercy of the Real Estate market. He or She will only get a price that the market is willing to pay. Now ask yourself this: "Would it be more cost effective to hold the home for six months?" That means you have to pay your mortgage, taxes, insurance, HOA's, Utilities (don't forget gas, trash, and water), and maintenance. What happens if you wait six months just to get a low offer? It's happening all the time now. If it took six months to get a low offer, then how long will it take to get a high offer?

Now think about this:

Price the home slightly lower now and sell it now. Fast, easy, and cost effective.

How do I auction my home in Portland?

It's very easy. A home auction progam is a very effective part of our marketing program. When you have a motivated seller and a smart buyer it really is a win/win for everyone. Not all homes qualify for a home auction. It would be ineffective for a seller to try and auction a home for market value. Auctions only work when home sellers are realistic about the market conditions and the supply of homes at market value. Almost every buyer I have encounterd has asked about buying a foreclosed home. Home buyers are more educated these days. They research and study. They hire expert Realtors to find them bargins and equity. The inventory of homes are at record highs. It truly is a buyer's market. Now how do you compete if your a home seller in the Portland Metro market? Start interviewing Realtors. If you watch and listen closely... Everyone is doing the same thing. They want to list your home and put a sign up. A home auction is completly different. It's thinking outside the box. It's a creative marketing tatic that has been proven nation wide. The SAME thing isn't working in this market. It doesn't mean it's wrong. Times change, and marketing tatics have to change with market trends in order to be effective.

When you sign up for a home auction this is how the program works:

  1. List your home for auction
  2. Set your reserve price
  3. Pick your showing dates
  4. Pick your auction date
  5. Accept, counter, or reject any offers
  6. Move out in 30 days

Contact me for more details.

  • Foreclosure - OK
  • Late on payments - OK
  • Divorce - OK

Home owners around the nation are selling homes right now using auction programs. It truly is a win/win situation for both home buyers and home sellers. Homes at auction are priced below market and this helps sellers because it moves the home fast and good for buyers because they get a great price on a great home.

I hope this helps anyone with questions about home auctions.

A few thoughts on Portland Home Auctions by Aaron Majors

I just wanted to touch a little bit about the home auction program we are now offering. We are starting this to address the high inventory of homes in the Portland market. This isn't going to be one huge auction like the one Buena Vista Homes did. This is an aggressive tactic to help the home buyers and sellers of the Portland Metro area get together. Serving the needs of both buyers and sellers. I don't think that a home auction is the only way to buy a house or the only way to sell a house. I just think that this is going to be a great option for home owners in the Portland Metro area who can't seem to sell their home. I also think this will be great for home buyers to find a good price on a good home. Both parties win. So homes that would be a great match for this program would be homes that have expired or in foreclosure. A home owner that just got laid off might want to auction their home to quickly avoid a financial burden. There are a lot of reasons to auction a home. I think a lot of people put a "stigma" to the word "auction"... Well time to change that. Who cares. The important thing is that you sell the home quickly for a good price. This auction program will be the solution to many frustrated home owners in the Portland Metro area and will be a great resource for savvy home buyers... In the end every one wins.

Why consider a home auction?

1.) A fast "turnaround" time. An effective home auction should produce results very quickly.

2.) Vastly increase exposure. Qualified home buyers will be previewing homes for auction.

3.) Offers. Auctions attract attention to your property.

4.) In real estate, even if the home doesn't sell at auction, it opens up the negotiations process.
Deals are made in the days after a failed auction.

• Foreclosure - okay!

• Late on payments - No problem!

• Expired listing - Try another option!
