We want to start an auction house but hire an auctioneer. Does owner have to have license?
Q. My fiance and I would like to open an auction house in a building we own in Ohio. We would like to run every aspect of the business but hire an auctioneer to do the actual selling on auction nights. Neither one of us wants to actually become an auctioneer. Does anyone else do this or does the auction house owner have to have a auctioneer's license?

How does an estate auction work if I was interested in buying a property listed?
Q. I am in AZ. I am interested in a property that is supposed to be auctioned soon. How does this work for the buyer? Are there hidden fees that I responsible for at close if I am winning bidder? What paperwork is necessary on my end before I go into the auction?
Asked by loraina - Mon Mar 16 13:32:21 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They will demand that you produce a cashiers check at the front door. If you are the winning bidder, you will go immediately to a lender's table to be approved for the loan. You will have to close the sale in 30 days. The buyer never used to pay any fees. You just bought the house. Recently in Arizona, the auctioneers are making you pay a 5% "buyers fee". That is added to the purchase price. The sale will probably be "as is" so bid low..

How do you research a car auction?
Q. I have a question currently about auctions. I have been reading some information since I put it on here to see what other people have already said. People have said research, find out about the cars before you go to an auction, etc. That is the problem, I don't know how to find an auction to do the research on it or on cars that I think I may be interested in. How do I do that part? Finding the auction, doing the research on the car(s) I am interested in and doing the research on ther auction it self? Thanks.
Asked by Mother of one - Wed Dec 5 14:19:09 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It all depends on who hosts the car auction. If it's your local police station, dealers, etc. You will hear it via newspaper or radio. Generally stuff like that is kept on the down low for several reasons. More people will show (generated interest) Which in turn drives up prices, etc. If its an auction hosted over the internet scroll through the website and see what they have. If nothing is available then simply there really isn't anything available.

Regardless of who hold auctions, is the winning bid real the total cost of buying a house from the auction?
Q. I see these newspaper articles about real estate auctions. There are the regular county auctions (sheriffs auctions) that real estate companies buy to sell for profit later at their own house auctions. Regardless of who hold auctions, is the winning bid real the total cost of buying a house from the auction? Can you buy a house from an auction for say few thousands dollars? I can't google the real estate buying process. Where I can learn about the process of buying houses?
Asked by dan - Mon Sep 10 17:22:39 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. It's very difficult to actually get a house at auction at extremely low prices like that. I've been to quite a few and actually won the bid on a couple of them. BUT... where I'm at, there is a 10 day upset bid timeframe where anyone can outbid you still but they have to up it by 3%. Or the owner still has that time to pay the lender back. That's in the normal case of foreclosure. The sheriff auction thing does not state that there are no other leins or mortgages on the property. I talked to the sheriff about this before and they just won't say. You have to do your own title search before bidding on this. So the winning bid can be the total cost of the property if you make it past the hurdles. And it's hard to find any good info… [cont.]

A. Happens all the time. The people are most likely trying to sell before the auction. More often than not, buying before or after the auction is a better way to go, but every case is different, and it depends on a lot of factors.

Donations needed for silent auction and Family Fun Walk?
Q. I have started a non profit to help rural seniors in Oklahoma and we are planning a Family Fun Walk and Silent AUction. Need donations. I also work a fulltime job working from 8 - 5.
Asked by rmouser - Thu Dec 27 11:17:04 2007 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I do lots of charity work and fundraising while also doing two real jobs. It just takes time management. E-mail helps a lot, too. Maybe instead of a Silent Auction, consider a Chinese (aka Teacup) Auction. That's where people buy tickets for $1/each (6/$5) and can put their tickets in various canisters and win those prizes. For those, I do get some donations but also buy some items. For example, I usually buy a new men's 10-speed bike at Toys R Us for about $70 and that usually gets 300 tickets.

How can one ascertain what price an auction car was sold at?
Q. I'm referring to executive driven, late model, low miles GM cars. The exec's drive them for a few months then they're auctioned off at various auction sites throughout America. Would like to know if one can subscribe to a service which details the prices paid. Thanks you for any input.
Asked by artsbest - Thu Aug 14 14:50:04 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Despite what people have said you cant just call up the auction and have them tell you how much the car went for, you need to be a authorized rep from a GM dealer to go to those auctions and get info from them. Even if they would do that it would be a tremendous pain since there are thousands of cars that go through those auctions every week. Basically you would have to have the dealer show you the invoice for the specific car, and that would take some serious negotiating to get that to happen.

A. There is a book called How to Sell Your Home in 5 Days by Bill G. Effros that tells you how to hold a successful auction of your home. I have read it an it sounds like an interesting way to sell your house but it doesn't sound like the smartest or best way to sell your house. Do you want to sell it at auction because it would be fast or because you think it will get the most money? Are you trying to avoid paying a commission? Do you have financial troubles and the auction is the cheapest way to sell? I think you need to figure out why you want to sell it by auction and not by owner or with the help of a professional Realtor though.

We are getting the usual donations - gift certificates for restaurants, hair styling salons, etc., but would really like to have something different and exciting. Any ideas? Another note - our guidelines say that we have to stay within our county when soliciting donations so as not to encroach on other affiliates. Some of your ideas were really good, but they involve contacting groups outside of our area.

A. Hey there! I've been heavily involved with nonprofit fund raising for years...so here are some ideas I have that could be relatively low in cost for your cause... 1) As far as items go in your area, here are my thoughts: -try to think of items that your attendants will already WANT before they set foot in your event, instead of items that they could talk themselves into once they get there...bids will definitely be higher for these items -anything that your group can make is always unique...think pottery, quilts, pillows, painting a martini set, etc... -head to local businesses that are NOT chains...they'll be easier to negotiate with and will have less red tape to get through...plus they'll want the free advertising for being a donor… [cont.]

A. Only put items on eBay that have a recognizable name. There are too many no name products on eBay for anyone to look at them all. But if you have items with brand recognition go with those. Start things at a price just above your break even point. Hopefully they will ge bid up if not you won't lose a bundle. Also, only use the 7 day or 3 day bid length. There is seldom any action until the last few days. Good Luck.

A. Hi Teresa, Which auction? When you talk about a foreclosure - do you mean the sheriffs sale ( at the courthouse steps)? or was it sold by the bank through a auction house? Ok, if you are talking about the auction at the courthouse steps - it definetly sold because the bank has an automatic bid for the amount that is owed to it. Depending on your area of the country - the bank usually has the highest bid and gets the house back after the redemption period is over. If it was an auction company like hudson and marshall or williams and williams - then it was probably sold because these auctions are usually "absolute" meaning highest bidder wins regardless of amount, however, sometimes the bank says "no" and then they relist with a realtor.… [cont.]

A. These auctions in my area can be very confusing. If you don't know this there are a lot of other things you also probably don't know. I would suggest that you go to two or three auctions with out bidding. Watch how they work and talk with people that you meet there. Ask them questions. You will be much better prepared after that. At least call your county government and ask them questions.
