More than 50 years have gone by since
the Hodgins family conducted their first
auction. Since then, (6000 auctions
later) we have learned a lot about
marketing real estate assets, and we've
assembled a great team of people to do
it. When you have real estate assets to
sell count on our experience and
teamwork for superior results.
Seller Benefits...
The seller sets the
terms and
conditions of sale,
including exactly
when the property
will sell. The land is
sold without
contingencies.
Plus, there’s no limit
to the top selling
price - which often
exceeds that of negotiated sales in the same area. A quick
sale helps eliminate carrying costs allowing sellers to get
on with their lives.
Market Impacts...
An auction freezes the market as potential purchasers wait
for the auction before buying a similar property. The
auction creates buyer urgency - the property won’t be up
for sale tomorrow! Local buyers compete with outside
buyers - no one is left out.
The Company utilizes an effective, multi parcel
computerized real estate system for delivering maximum
returns to real estate sellers. Hodgins is one of a small
number of auctioneers in North America using this
sophisticated mathematical model. Land holdings are
divided and offered for sale as individual parcels,
combinations of parcels, and as entireties with the
computer program assisting the determination of the best
possible price for sellers.
Advantages...
- Auction is conducted in a controlled atmosphere
- Buyers can bid on the exact package they want
- Increased competition and less risk of buyer collusion
- Buyers are allowed suffcient time to consult third
parties
- All options are open to the buyers until the very end of
the auction. They are given ample opportunity to
reduce their package size, increase their bids, etc. The
auctions typically run two to six hours in length.
