If you’re thinking about putting your home on the market, you may not have considered hiring an auctioneer. However, real estate auctions can be an efficient way to sell your home without going through the frustrations of the real estate process. For over 60 years, the friendly auction agents at Greenway’s Real Estate & Auction have helped residents of Covington, VA, successfully auction off their real estate property.

Here, they share three reasons to work with an auctioneer when putting your property on the market:

• Serious Buyers: Attracting qualified buyers is one of the main benefits of auctioning your home. Unlike selling your home on the real estate market, a prospective buyer who shows up to a property auction is ready to buy and will have the financing to make a serious bid. Buyer demand will also drive up the final price of your home.
• Convenience: A real estate auction eliminates the need to keep your home available for multiple, random showings. All potential buyers will receive the same information about the property and have a fair chance to competitively bid at the auction. This saves you the time and money you would have spent on negotiations and responses to individual offers.
• Choose Date of Sale: Putting your home on the real estate market is stressful because you have no way of actually knowing when your property will be sold. However, working with an auctioneer means you get to decide on the date of sale and the closing day.
