Methods of Sale with Grafe Auction

While we are best-known for our efficient online auction services, we strive to offer our clients flexibility to sell one or one thousand items through a diverse offering of sale methods.

Live Auction

For select situations, particularly real estate sales, we conduct traditional live, in-person auctions. These events bring buyers together in one location to bid on assets in real time. Our experienced auctioneers create an engaging atmosphere that encourages competitive bidding. These auctions are especially effective for high-value properties where buyers benefit from seeing the asset firsthand.

Online Auction

The majority of our auctions are now conducted as live, online events. This modern approach allows bidders to participate from anywhere in the world through our user-friendly online platform. Bidders view detailed photos and descriptions of each item, then place bids in real-time as lots close sequentially. This format combines the excitement and competitive nature of traditional auctions with the convenience and broader reach of digital technology. Our live, online auctions typically result in stronger participation and higher returns compared to traditional methods.

Special Offering / Direct Buy

In certain instances, an auction is not the best method to sell an asset. In these situations, we have developed the ability to market assets for a fixed price direct to consumers. This type of sale allows you to control price and terms, but not the timing of the sale. In many cases, difficult to market assets, or small quantity of assets are ideal for a special offering.

At Grafe Auction, we evaluate each client's unique situation to recommend the most appropriate sales method. Our team's expertise ensures you'll receive maximum value regardless of which approach best suits your needs.
