Hear from Our Clients:

"My family had to sell my mother's house in a short period of time. My brothers knew John and his family from their Church and suggested the rest of our family use The Ruckman Group. After our informative first meeting, where John answered all our questions, we were convinced. They handled everything—from advertising and sorting household items for the online auction, to placing flyers and erecting signs, to running the live auction of the house and property. On auction day, it was professional yet friendly, and it sold for more than we imagined. The Ruckman Group made it easy, managing every detail with care and professionalism. We highly recommend them for all your selling needs, not just real estate. Thank you, John and Amy!" - The Van Winkle Family

Do I have to sell it if I go with an auction?

A common misconception is that you have to sell it if it goes to auction. It depends on which marketing option you go with. See options below.

Seller Confirmation Auction

This is the most common method that is used when selling real estate at auction because it gives the seller the option to sell or not sell on auction day during the bidding process. 
The auctioneer will take bids until it seems bidding is slowing down, he will then pause the bidding & step away with you to discuss if you would like to sell it or not. He will then update the bidders on your decision and ask for any final bids. Depending on your final say the property will either sell or be listed traditionally.

Absolute Auction

This option means it is selling regardless of price. If you have chosen this option then you are ready to draw the interest of everyone. With absolute auctions you are agreeing to sell the property to the highest bidder, which in turn draws a large crowd of bidders because they all know someone is going to walk away as the new owner. It creates a sense of urgency to bid because they don't want to miss out on the opportunity to own your Real Estate.

Minimum Bid Auction

This method gives a defined price that you would like to be achieved before you would sell your real estate but still gives the option for higher bids to be given. Our custom marketing campaign would clearly state the minimum bid and if that minimum bid is achieved then the property will sell to the highest bidder.

Multi Parcel Auction

Use this method to give bidders the option on which parcels of land they want to buy. Bidders will have several rounds of bidding open to them on individual parcels , combinations of parcels and on the property as a whole. Highest bid achieved is presented to seller. We combine this method with Absolute, Seller Confirmation or Minimum Bid options to market your property.
