Understanding The Different Types Of Auctions Fort Worth TX Offers

By Sharon Morris


The auction method of buying and selling property has been around for hundreds of years. At one time, it was associated with some sort of distress, such as a bank foreclosure or estate liquidation. Today we often associate this type of sale with several extremely successful online sites where individuals put everything from expensive real estate to used clothing up for bidding. If you are interested in actually attending live auctions Fort Worth TX, for example, offers, you should clearly understand the different types of sales there are and the terminology that comes with them.

Buyer's premiums are standard for many auction houses. They tend to be about ten percent of the final high bid and are added, along with any applicable taxes, at checkout. This is something a bidder needs to fully understand when they are in the process of bidding on any property or item. Auctioneers typically promote the premium in all advertising and will often demonstrate how it is applied to the high bid prior at the beginning of any sale.

It is not unusual for financial institutions to decide that non-performing assets are better off being disposed of than remaining on their balance sheets. Real estate is a prime example of this. Sometimes the transaction takes place on the courthouse steps, and sometimes the business entity will contract with a private auction house to dispose of the problem. Auctions are great indicators of market value. They will tell all interested parties what the property is worth at that time and place.

A lot of times it makes sense to dispose of personal property at auction as well. Estate sales, business, overstock inventory and private collection liquidations are just some examples of the many types of personal property auctions you may find in your area.

If you have items that you believe would sell well at auction, you might want to consider putting them into a consignment sale in your area. Certain auction houses specialize in this business. You should expect to either pay a fixed fee per item or agree to add a buyer's premium to the high bid to compensate the auctioneer for his expertise.

Auctioned properties are offered either with a minimum acceptable price or without reserve. If the sale is not advertised as absolute, you can be sure that the seller can decide whether or not to accept the high bid. Some seasoned bidders are suspicious of anything that has a reserve price. Others know that sellers have been vetted by auctioneers to make sure they understand what to expect from potential buyers.

If you are a bidding on an item or a property advertised as absolute, then the high bidder will absolutely be the owner when the auctioneer cries sold. In this type of sale, the seller relinquishes his or her right to refuse the highest price.

This method of purchasing real and personal property can be rewarding and productive for all parties involved. Knowing the ins and outs of the process will make you a better buyer and a more satisfied customer.
