Auction Puts You in The Driver's Seat.
Seaport Auction engineers a focused marketing campaign. The goal is to attract multiple buyers to your property by pinpointing exactly WHAT we are marketing. Starting in the Real Estate industry in 2005, utilizing a traditional brokerage approach to sales, we’ve been doing our homework on the market forces that drive property values and in turn, influence supply and demand.
In Real Estate, supply and demand is the name of the game. Upon recognizing a property’s discounted initial bid price, buyers are motivated to get in the game and compete for your property. The process is easily accessible via online bidding platforms that accommodate the broadest audience of buyers. This brings multiple buyers to the table and maximizes your eventual sale price and reduces your carrying costs of holding the property over long periods of time. Property Auction candidates are identified and vetted through Comprehensive Valuation techniques.
Sometimes the Conventional Way of Selling Properties Doesn’t Always Make Sense.
