Whether you’re selling prized property or looking to buy one-of-a-kind treasures, an auction is just the place to make things happen! There’s an excitement about an auction that makes it a special event that draws people again and again. People participate in auctions out of curiosity about what unique or interesting items are for sale.

If you’re a seller, while some might view it as complicated and time consuming, a fast-paced auction is one of the most efficient ways of converting your property or assets into immediate cash. In fact, over a quarter-trillion dollars in goods and services are sold at auction every year in the U.S. With the combination of pre-sale marketing and the auction chant and/or an attention-grabbing online bidding platform, you could have enthusiastic, attentive buyers aggressively competing to purchase your property. This can be far better than placing your item in a gallery, if even accepted by the owner, and waiting weeks, months or forever for it to sell and then paying up to 50% commission! We always have another auction coming up and our seller’s commission is only 20%.

If you’re a buyer, there’s more than just curiosity when it comes to the prices obtained at auction. Great deals can be had and it’s a great way to start your collection. Participating in or even just observing our auction can be a great way to learn about fine art, the art industry or even just generally how auctions and the market works. You learn about the values of certain artists, different genres and mediums, basic auction practices and much more to develop your abilities as a well-informed buyer when you participate in an auction. Buyers who do careful research can often be rewarded by finding unrecognized significant works, or items selling far below their market value. As a discerning buyer, you can find the diamond in the rough or feel the thrill of winning the bid on a coveted piece!
