macauction™ is a full service sales and marketing system to buy or sell property by live auction. This innovative business model provides the following unique benefits to buyers and sellers alike.

At macauction™, buying and selling real estate takes place in an open and organized environment. We maximize the sales potential of each property while providing equal purchasing opportunities for buyers. In addition, it offers three opportunities to sell the property: before, during, or after the auction.

Key Benefits for Selling:

1. Maximizes the selling price – buyers are focused on winning the bid. Under the auction method, buyers bid up the price against each other with no ceiling, instead of beating down the price against the seller, who has already set the ceiling price. The atmosphere creates excitement and facilitates competition among buyers (because you are not dealing with one offer at a time).
2. Maximum exposure – with an advanced promotional campaign customized to the seller’s property, exposure is maximized.
3. Value for service – the seller sees exactly what has been done to promote their property.
4. Transparency – it eliminates the doubt that there may be a better offer out there, as you see the open, fair bidding process take place.
5. Convenience – once the listing is signed, the seller will see in advance a marketing program, including timeline and schedule of preview dates, eliminating numerous showings. No last-minute rushing around and no dealing with offers one at a time.
6. Certainty – all bids are unconditional and there are no subject clauses to worry about. All buyers are pre-registered and pre-qualified
7. Control – the seller sets the terms (reserve price, completion date, etc.)

Key Benefits to buying:

1. Transparency – the buyer is able to make informed decisions within the open, competitive environment afforded by the openness of auction. The successful bidder is assured of paying true market value and has the comfort of their price being reinforced by the last competing bid.
2. Equal opportunity – instead of competing in the traditional closed environment, the buyer will have the same opportunity to buy the property as the next buyer.
3. Control – the need to negotiate the price with the seller is eliminated. You set your own purchase price and compete openly with buyers, while the seller is effectively removed from the negotiation process.
4. Certainty and convenience – long, drawn out negotiations are eliminated.
5. Seller motivation – you know the sellers are motivated to sell because the macauction™ process provides for a firm transaction on an appointed date.
