An auction is a great selling tool for just about any situation such as estate liquidation, retirement or a move to another location, foreclosure, bankruptcy or divorce. For centuries, auctions have been one of the oldest forms of selling. Auctions provide: A speedy process. There’s no doubt that an auction is the fastest sales process around. It’s quick and efficient and that’s what makes it attractive. We sell a multitude of items in a short time. Certainty of Knowing What You’re Getting. Auctioneers deal with a wide range of merchandise. They are educated professionals who know value and price. Many have special certifications in personal property or estate appraisals. Honesty of the Transaction. Auctions are very organized and the rules are straightforward. Auctioneers who are members of the National Auctioneers Association, as I am, are bound by a code of ethics that protects consumers against unfair auction practices.

Buyers come prepared and willing to buy. The auctioneer sets the price of the item or property and there is no haggling. If you are selling real estate, your property can be sold as is where is, so you don’t have to make home improvements before sale. Your personal items or property is sold in one day. If your location is suitable (pertaining to zoning and any HOA rules and regs) for an on-site auction to liquidate the contents of your personal property, or you want to sell your real estate through auction (this service is provided in tandem by a realtor and auctioneer), please contact me for more information. https://helpinghandestatesales.com/online-estate-sales daily 0.75 2026-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/9b7f767d-570c-4b63-94f5-aaadb195192b/badge-8103.png Online Estate Sales Laura Furr Appraisals is USPAP compliant, with our GPPA designation from the National Auctioneer's Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/81040870-61be-4357-8ee7-e4c33770b02c/NAA+Logo.png Online Estate Sales Proud member of the National Auctioneer Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/2444dabd-bacf-4bac-8ac4-99f494453a95/North-Carolina-1-1-768x192.png Online Estate Sales Proud member and board member of the Auctioneer's Association of North Carolina https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/a13c9e0e-154e-4499-a709-41de236920b6/ASEL_LOGO_PEL.jpg Online Estate Sales Proud member of the American Society of Estate Liquidators, which leads the industry in ethics and liquidation methodologies to build client trust and success https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/d2ac32bb-1b9e-4ad1-84ea-2546915b4337/timothy-rhyne-601313-unsplash.jpg Online Estate Sales - There Are So Many Advantages of Our Online Estate Sale Method… •Literally thousands of people will be able to see your collection of items for sale. This number has grown extensively in the last few years with the number of visits to each online sale averaging between 12,000 and 30,000 views! •Your online sale will span a duration of one to two weeks. You’ll have far more exposure to buyers than a traditional estate sale that typically runs from 1 to 3 days. And best of all, you’ll be able to click on your sale link and watch all the activity as it occurs! •Preparation by us for your online sale takes just a few days at your home, depending on how much property you have for sale. Once the photography and detail work associated with an online sale are completed at your home, the rest of the steps to building your online sale are done in our office. •Keep the foot traffic in your home to a minimum, especially if your home is for sale or has already been sold. •Keep vehicle traffic to a minimum, especially if parking or HOA regulations are an issue. •Since online purchasers pickup from us by appointment, on one pickup day, we can keep a watchful eye on large or heavy items as they are moved by the buyer through your home. •The average pickup day lasts 5-7 hours so the amount of time that buyers/shoppers will be at your home is kept to a minimum. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61d6ffad9ab66a469f9ac0b1/38d6a490-6262-4f35-a233-b5c310a57109/lindsay-moe-534738-unsplash.jpg Online Estate Sales - You Want to Hire A Seasoned Professional!
