Why sellers choose auction

Clarity, Competition
and Control

Auction is not a last resort. It is a strategic method of marketing real estate—designed to focus buyer attention, establish urgency, and move your property toward a known sale date.

01

Full Market Value

The auction method is designed to let qualified buyers compete and establish the property’s market value.

02

Sell “as is”

No seller repairs or concessions after the auction contract is signed.

03

No Contingencies

The contract is not contingent upon another home selling, financing, appraisal, or inspection.

04

High-Intensity Marketing

A professional, concentrated marketing campaign brings maximum attention to the property.

05

NO Seller Commission

The seller does not pay a real estate commission, potentially saving thousands of dollars.

06

Qualified Commitment

A substantial non-refundable deposit is required from the successful bidder based on the final bid price.

07

All-Cash Contract

Buyers may obtain a loan, but the auction contract is not contingent upon financing.

08

Faster Closing

Closing is generally scheduled within two to four weeks after the live auction or an accepted pre-auction offer.

09

Pre-Auction Offers Welcome

The property may sell before auction day when the seller accepts a qualified pre-auction offer.

010

Buyer-Paid Expenses

The buyer pays a buyer’s premium, title expense, and state transfer tax under the auction terms.

011

Clear Seller Expenses

The seller is responsible for a marketing expense and closing attorney expense, which vary by property type.

012

Establish Online Buyer Reach

NashvilleAuctions.com brings the property to an established daily audience of prospective buyers.

Final auction structure, costs, contract terms, and timing vary by property and are confirmed with the seller before marketing begins.
