Roebuck Auctions

Sellers Information

Selling at Auction

The auction method brings true market value for your property by causing bidders to compete against each other in one place at one time, with one chance to buy. Optimizing these conditions – maximizing the number of qualified bidders at auction – is our business.

A successful auction is the result of:

Targeting motivated, qualified prospective purchasers.
Establishing bidder confidence in the property value and the auction process.
Reaching buyers with quality advertising and other communications.
Targeting: Planning begins with identification of those prospective purchasers who will be most interested in a particular property and will pay the highest price. Immediately upon receiving the assignment to auction your property, we will assemble lists of prospects to target with our custom brochures, e-mail and other communications. Our in-house mailing lists are the product of over 30 years of research and previous sales – a truly unique Roebuck Auctions asset.

Confidence: To bid with confidence, prospects must feel that they know what they are bidding on. Our marketing department will provide all relevant research, materials and information that participants require, as well as coordinate property inspection. And Roebuck Auctions' established reputation in the industry assures buyer confidence in our auction process.

Advertising: Quality advertising not only maximizes awareness, but also the perceived value of your property. Our beautifully produced full color brochures, our industry leading web site and other materials make a statement about what is being sold.

Our aggressive marketing campaigns are highly concentrated under the compressed time frame of the auction method. So each marketing dollar delivers greater impact. And while all of our marketing plans are customized for specific properties and market segments, all utilize multiple channels, which include:

Local, regional and national news publications
Traditional direct mail and e-mail
Detailed exposure on our web site (24-hour, international access)
Industry-specific trade publications
Radio promotions
Outdoor signage
Aerial photos and surveys
Custom brochures
Two Types of Auctions

There are two methods of selling at auction.

In an absolute auction, the property is sold to the highest bidder, with no set minimum price. The absolute method maximizes all the benefits of auctioning: potential buyers will not miss the opportunity to attend, and competition is at its most intense.
In a reserve auction, the Seller establishes a confidential minimum price, and has the right to decline the highest bid if that price is not reached. Reserve auctions can and do work, but it is imperative that the reserve price be realistic.
Terms of Sale & Accountability

In most auctions, the auctioneer's fee is covered by the “buyer's premium,” usually 10% of the selling price, paid by the bidder. On the day of the auction, the successful bidder signs a non-contingent purchase contract. The property is sold “as is” and the down payment is due at the conclusion of the auction, with the balance due and payable at closing. Closing occurs 30 days or less from the date of auction, or on another agreed upon timetable. Sellers may receive, at the time of settlement, a complete accounting of all income and expenses related to the auction.

How to attract a MINIMUM
of 50 to 100 buyers and investors
this weekend through
Round Robin Open House

 Round Robin Open House  Another way to get your property sold

    In case you’ve lived under a rock for the past 2 years, the buyer’s are controlling the market right now. The only thing worse than a buyer that controls the real estate market is a buyer that KNOWS he controls the real estate market! Yes it’s true, they are the ones that are calling all the shots nowadays. They are looking for good deals and the only way to attract them is to demonstrate that you hold the best deals in the city.  

The key for you is to get these people slobbering at the mouth and begging you to call them with the best deal in town. The best way to do that is to show them a deal so great that they would skip church on Sunday, just to get a good look at this amazing opportunity that they may be lucky enough to get.
     Enter ROUND ROBIN Open House, Where you will attract a minimum of 30 to 60 buyers in only a 24 hour period. Some will be good buyers and some will be great buyers, but all of them will be interested in your home. 
    You are certainly familiar with an “auction” as it pertains to real estate and I’m sure you have been to one live and in person. How many people were there? They showed up, above all other things they could have been doing that day, simply because they anticipated a great deal.  The reality is that the Round Robin process does the same thing, many times even BETTER than a traditional auction. 

Here is how it works:
First we start marketing your house for 52% of market value, now before you panic, realize that you always have the right to reject any offer. This starts the feeding frenzy, and gets everyone interested.  They come out of the woodwork!!!
We set a date on a weekend Saturday or Sunday and conduct a round robin open house, from 1-5 pm.


 We promote the open house all week using a variety of both
conventional and unconventional marketing techniques that have
been tried and proven.


This will generate at least 30 buyers looking at your house, probably more like 50-60. They will fill out a bid sheet the day of the open house with their initial bid. From there, after 7pm Sunday, I begin the second round of the process - calling all the bidders and letting them know what the high offer was from the first round. As this continues the bidders raise their offer or fall out, until we get down to two or three serious buyers, and get the highest price possible for your home. From there we look at their qualifications and decide which offer to take. Mortgage brokers that will qualify anyone we bring to them within a day, so generally we can have a firm offer by the first of the week after the open house. And you have your house sold.

 If you want to try something like this, or want more
information contact me and we can get together and talk it over.

I'm sure you are wondering what the catch is, well,
   If I do everything... there is a marketing fee I charge to cover the cost of all the marketing  to get the buyers to show up.  Right now that fee is $995.00 or about $20 per buyer if we get fifty buyers to show up.  I guarantee at least 30 buyers and will refund the difference if we do not get thirty buyers to show up. Additionally, if your house is not listed with another Realtor there is a Listing agreement we will need to  sign,  saying you will pay me  a commission if the house sells as a result of the Round Robin open house.  If there is already a listing agreement in place I will need to make sure your agent is OK with the Round Robin open house process.  If the house does sell we will deduct the amount of the marketing fee  from the commission.
    If you do everything... and I just tell you what to do, and how to do it , I charge  $250.00

Rent to own is the third way we can get your property sold!!!
If you need to sell and do not have enough equity to sell at auction
or through the Round Robin Bidding process you  only option may be a rent to own.  We have a complete program designed to help you sell your property and avoid foreclosure and get your mortgage payment paid.  Check out the details at http://WhyRent.weebly.com
