From real estate to cars to estate collections, an auction creates community excitement and brings cash to the sellers. With over 70 years of successful auction experience, the professional auctioneers at Greenways Real Estate & Auction, in Covington, VA, offer time-tested tips to make your auction a success. 

When auctioning motor vehicles or watercraft, make sure you have the signed titles and that the titles are free of liens. Clean and detail your cars or trucks, and make sure they are in proper working order unless you are offering them otherwise. If you plan to auction real estate, inspect the property for hazards and remove them or post adequate warning signs. To enhance the appearance of a house to make it more desirable, trim the hedges, rake the leaves, mow the lawn, and power-wash the walkways. You should also have liability insurance coverage on the property in case of accidental injury.

When you’re ready to sell your items, hire a professional auctioneer to organize and run your auction. The state of Virginia licenses and regulates auctioneers, which assures you of a basic level of skill and professionalism. Experienced professional auctioneers use special auction techniques that increase your chances of receiving more and higher bids for your property than what an unlicensed amateur seller produces.

The professional auctioneers at Greenways Real Estate & Auction provide high-quality service, from helping you prepare for the opening bid to the last fall of the gavel. They will market and present your property in the most favorable light, including descriptive summaries and broad-based advertising. These knowledgeable auctioneers know how to work the crowd and encourage bidding that brings in top dollar for your land or personal property.
