Realtor - Benefits of Real Estate Auctions For Buying or Selling.

Q. What is a Real Estate Auction?

A. A real estate auction is an innovative and effective method of selling real estate. It is an intense, accelerated real estate marketing process that involves the public sale of any property -- most certainly including those that are non-distressed -- through open cry, competitive bidding.
