Services
Dawson Ford Garbee provides full service for your upcoming auction. Our fees are consistent with other auction companies, with no extra cost. We specialize in sale of land, homes, estates, farms and commercial.
BENEFITS TO SELLERS
Through aggressive marketing campaigns, your property is exposed to a large number of pre-qualified prospects. This marketing often includes newspaper, direct mail, radio, internet, television, telemarketing and public relations including press releases and news stories. In 30 days of intense auction promotion, we reach more potential buyers than a listing ever will. Expenses such as long term caring costs including taxes, maintenance, insurance and upkeep are reduced.

Auctions generate competition between buyers, ensuring the fastest, and the highest, possible offer for your property. Since the property is sold "as is", there is no negotiation. All sales are final. A guaranteed sale date, fast closing and quick turnaround (from open to closing in just 60 days) provide you with the proceeds from your sale as soon as possible. Seller has the right to set the terms and conditions of the sale. Auction contracts have no contingencies ensuring a prompt closing.
BENEFITS TO BUYERS
Auctions eliminate long negotiating periods. Each buyer has an equal chance to purchase property at their price, competing fairly and on the same terms as all other buyers. Buyers have 3-4 weeks prior to the auction to conduct inspections and to view the property. The lengthy process of purchasing property is eliminated when buying through an auction.

Question: What type of property is suitable for an auction?
Answer: Land, farms, residential, multi-family, commercial or historical properties.

In regards to land, land offers the perfect situation for the auction method since it is a limited commodity and always in demand. Land is difficult to put a price on, and is often under-priced in negotiated sales. In estate settlements, families often use auctions to settle the estate, simplifying the process. Real estate, personal property and equipment can all be sold at one time, allowing estate to be handled promptly.
FORECLOSURE & BANKRUPTCY AUCTIONS
Dawson Ford Garbee Auctions has conducted auctions for all types of creditors and trustees. Our staff is familiar with the needs and services required for foreclosure and bankruptcy sales.
SEALED BID AUCTIONS
We offer this type of sale for assets such as timber. This is also used for those specialized properties which may be limited to the number of buyers.
SPECIALTY PROPERTIES
The more out of the ordinary your property is, the better the prospect for auction. These properties are highly sought after.

If time is an issue, whether you need to close on another home, finalize a divorce, eliminate pending foreclosures or need quick liquidity, an auction is the best method of sale that can guarantee a set closing with the least hassle.

Our associates want your sale to be a success! They offer services to prepare your real estate property such as grass cutting, bush hogging, and clean up. They also prepare your personal property by tagging, organizing, boxing, and cleaning the items to be sold.
