January 9, 2026 What is a Real Estate Auction and How Does It Work? If you have ever wondered how a real estate auction works, you're not alone. At Jimmy Giordano Real Estate Auctioneer, we specialize in helping buyers and sellers navigate the auction process with confidence and transparency. What is a Real Estate Auction? A real estate auction is a public sale where properties are sold to the highest bidder. Unlike traditional home sales, the price is determined in real time, creating a fast, competitive, and fair process. Auctions can be held live, online, or a combination of both. How Does It Work?
Preparation: We evaluate the property and set a starting bid. Sellers receive guidance on pricing and marketing.
Marketing: Properties are advertised to potential buyers to generate interest and maximize attendance.
Auction Day: Buyers place bids in real time. The highest bidder at the close of the auction wins.
Finalization: Once the auction ends, contracts are signed, and the sale is completed quickly and transparently.
Why Choose a Real Estate Auction?
Transparency: Everyone sees the bidding process in real time.
Efficiency: Auctions streamline the process, so sales are completed in a timely manner.
Maximized Value: Competitive bidding can result in a higher final sale price.
Flexibility: We handle both live and online auctions to reach more buyers.
