The April 10, 2010 Colorado Front Range Property Auction is the culmination of nearly a year’s collaboration and planning of Pinnacle Auction Group with participating RE/MAX agencies including RE/MAX Professionals. The owners/brokers of these RE/MAX agencies and Rick Rolph, owner of Pinnacle Auction Group, have established from their combined fields of expertise a complementary business model that incorporates the knowledge and strengths of their respective industries to present a unique real estate auction process and market opportunity. 

AUCTION BENEFITS

Value of Time
The Auction method provides a defined time to sell your property and establishes a determined sale date.  This creates a sense of urgency among qualified buyers and becomes the driving force of the sales process.

Time Value of Money
A slow market can become a serious drain on a seller's equity.  Continuing expenses like mortgage payments, upkeep and taxes and insurance can add up to thousands of dollars each month.  The auction method may be the most efficient and effective way to meet the needs of you, the seller.

Opportunity
There are many advantages to consider.  The auction creates a competitive bidding environment giving you, the seller, the best opportunity to obtain the highest possible price and the current market value of the property.  Your property is sold on your time schedule, and on your terms, instead of those of the buyer.  The buyer purchases the property in "As-Is" condition and there is no negotiation process.  Eliminating all contingencies including financing gives the seller a far greater certainty of closing on an auction purchase contract.

Sales Price and Market Value
Price is negotiated UP not Down at the auction!  The price of your property is negotiated through the competitive bidding of qualified and interested buyers.  Auctions establish current market value through what buyers are willing to pay at the time of the auction.  This eliminates the guess work of over pricing and seeing little interest or under pricing and selling for less than necessary.

Qualified Buyers
The auction audience is made up of pre-qualified buyers, with certified funds who have registered and meet the criteria to receive a bidder's package.  They come to the auction with the intent to buy.  They acknowledge through their acceptance of the "Terms and Conditions of the Auction" their opportunity to attend an open house, inspect the property, attain pre-approval for a mortgage and complete any and all other due diligence they require.

Internet Bidding
Live internet bidding literally expands the buying audience to potential buyers across the country!  Internet bidders must meet bidder's requirements and can bid on properties for a specified time before the live auction and during the live auction as well.  Internet bids are in real time and taken as they are received.

AUCTION PROCESS

A real estate auction is the sale of real estate property offered “As-Is” and “Where-Is” for the fair market value, using a competitive bidding process. “As-Is” is a legal term and concept used to disclaim liability for an item being sold "As-Is” denotes that the seller is selling, and the buyer is buying, an item in whatever condition it presently exists, and that the buyer is accepting the item “with all faults,” whether or not immediately apparent.

Marketing Plan
A powerful benefit of auctions is a strategic, accelerated and comprehensive marketing plan. The marketing program is custom-designed to the demographics of the market and the profile of the properties being offered. Marketing efforts   typically begin four weeks prior to the auction date.

Property Catalog
The property catalog is a comprehensive document that outlines important details of the properties at auction, contains the Terms and Conditions of the auction and describes how the auction will be conducted.  By providing this information, bidders are given the confidence to participate in the auction possibly resulting in a higher sale price for the seller. This catalog is provided to all potential buyers.

Start of the Auction

The auction begins promptly at the appointed time with opening remarks summarizing the terms of sale, the methods of bidding, and any last minute changes or disclosures. These comments usually take only a few minutes. Then the auction begins!

Working with the Bidder Assistant
The Bidder Assistants are auction staff members who are positioned among the auction attendees to help all bidders communicate their offers to the Auctioneer. Bidders place a bid by raising their bidder card. Any tie bids or other issues regarding who has the high bid are always resolved by the Auctioneer, who has complete and final authority.

SOLD!
From the first bid, things move quickly with bidders offering their bids up to the price they are willing to pay.  When it is determined that the final bid has been made, the Auctioneer will identify the high bidder and the final bid price.  The purchaser simply executes the Real Estate Purchase Agreement and makes the required Earnest Money Deposit.  In a "subject to confirmation" auction, the seller retains the right to accept or reject the high bid within a specified time after the auction.

Closing
Closing on the property typically takes place within 30-45 days from the date of the auction.  Closing is not contingent on financing, appraisals, or inspections.

Buyer Registration will be available on-line March 15th.
