The results speak for themselves: Our records show we consistently meet or exceed the appraised value of all assets.

Hodgins is leading the industry with the development of a multi-parcel computerized sales system. Since introducing this system in 1991, our track record has been exceptional. In virtually every case, our method results in the sale of the entire farm.

Maximum competition equals better results

Our computerized sales system encourages all bidders to bid on any individual parcel--or any combination of parcels--at any time throughout the entire auction. Utilizing this method, competition is significantly higher than with any other method known.

This multi-parcel system in an open bidding auction format provides the most powerful marketing tool in existence.

Consider the advantages:

• The seller sets the terms & conditions of sale-including exactly when the property will sell.
• There’s no limit to the top selling price-and it often exceeds that of negotiated sales in the same area.
• Local buyers compete with outside buyers-no one is left out!
• The highest level of competition is created, resulting in higher prices.
• A powerful advertising blitz generates maximum exposure for the property.
• Land is sold without contingencies.
• The auction creates buyer urgency-the property won’t be for sale tomorrow!
• An auction freezes the market. Potential purchasers wait for the auction before buying a similar property.
• A quick sale helps eliminate expensive carrying costs.
• Get the best price possible for your land. Our multi-parcel computerized sales system creates the highest level of competition among bidders.
