When the time comes, it’s nice to have a professional certified estate specialist helping you through it. Auctions ASAP has helped many families through this tough and emotionally draining process. We help with auctions, real estate auctions, including traditional real estate listings, tag sales, and estate buyouts.
We work with families, executors, administrators, estate attorneys, bankers, and accountants as is necessary to help settle an estate. The services we offer allow us to handle as much of the process as our client needs us to handle. This is especially helpful for our clients who reside out of state, and we understand that they may only have a short time away from their families and work to handle the settlement of a loved one’s estate.
If a family business is caught up in the estate settlement, it’s best to have someone who has business experience to handle it through the process. Our founder has owned and operated several businesses and bought out or sold many more. He has had the first-hand experience, and it will show during the first walk-through through identifying the assets, some of which others won’t even notice.
Handling an estate can be stressful, with so many options to choose from, not knowing what to avoid, and how to keep from getting taken advantage of. Well, look no further! We can help you through it while minimizing the burden on you and your loved ones. Handling the estate of a loved one can be a large burden so getting a helping hand that can offer sound advice can make it easier on you and your family.
We have been able to help people for over twenty years, handling the chaos of estates. Over these many years, we’ve learned a lot and can offer you both answers and approaches from our acquired knowledge.
Auctions ASAP is known as a One Stop Estate Solution Provider- Very few companies in the Louisville area can help in almost all aspects of handling estates, but we can! (*We say almost is that for legal questions and matters, we will recommend attorneys that handle estates if you don’t already have one, attorneys that will work with you and us as a team focused on the same goal.)
Working together, we can better handle the demands required, which we will also work to minimize. It is up to you how involved you are in the process. You don’t even have to be here locally, it can all be handled regardless of where you reside. If it’s real estate, personal property, or business assets, we’ve sold it all before, and we look forward to selling it all for you.
There are several ways to sell estates, more specifically the personal property, and our preferred method is through an online auction. Online auctions bring more buyers than any other method, which drives competition and higher prices. Prices will be competitively driven higher and higher as opposed to putting a price on it and having someone trying to haggle you down lower and lower as the sale goes on for days. Also, the process of bidding on items is out in the open and open to the public, nothing hidden from the seller either.
The seller can determine the date it starts and the date and time it ends, so you know when the items will sell. In many communities, the HOA may not allow live auctions due to limited parking and the disturbance to other residents it sometimes causes. Online auctions will ease the disturbance to the neighbors while helping achieve higher prices. Our online auctions are very manageable, safe, easy to participate in, and easy for the seller to track the results in real-time.
Our founder is a Real Estate Broker, besides being a Principal Auctioneer which gives us a different perspective on the matter.
With Real Estate, we will evaluate the property (residential, commercial, or agricultural-farm land) and provide you with options. For instance, if it’s just your average residential home & lot, we can list it using traditional Realtor methods.
Now, if it’s unique (to both extremes), maybe you suspect it’s worth more than your offers, maybe on the other extreme, it has issues, let’s sell it at auction. You may not want offers with contingencies tying you up for months, maybe you can’t afford the holding costs (insurance, taxes, water, gas and electric along with upkeep and security), and maybe you don’t want the hassle of repairing anything or all the above, let’s get the auction process started. Unlike others in the industry, here you’ll get honest opinions concerning best practices in selling real estate while minimizing unnecessary expenditures.
Having us handle the whole process is beneficial to you because our timeline works together. The goal, assuming the situation allows for it, is to maximize the value of the personal property. Which we are able to take care of.
Here is a common scenario that you truly want to avoid: having a real estate sales agent come in and sell the house extremely quickly before you have time to deal with the personal property. We’ve seen agents do this without the slightest care for what happens to the personal property or the stress on you it creates; the only thing they care about is their commission check. You’ll hear them recommend to the seller to just go out and rent some storage units and move all your items out before it closes (thanks for all your help, real estate sales agent).
