BROKER PARTICIPATION

More than $115 billion of real and personal property is sold at auction annually in the U.S. Of this total, $32 billion is real estate.

Auctions are an acceptable alternative to traditional private treaty sales. "The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® believes real estate auctions are an innovative marketing tool which can benefit buyers and sellers in good times and bad..." (From the NAR Auction Committee's A Guide to Real Estate Auctions.)

You can use the auction process three ways:

  1. Register a buyer
  2. Sell one of your listings

1. REGISTER A BUYER AT TMICHAEL AUCTIONS, LLC

Earn up to a 3% commission at settlement by properly registering the successful high bidder at a TMICHAEL AUCTIONS, LLC.*

* Requirements for Cooperating Agents Producing Buyers Agent must be licensed in the state in which auction is conducted. A TMA buyer application form must be properly completed and received by TMA at least 24 hours prior to auction. The agent must show the property prior to Auction and attend the sale with the buyer and assist in closing procedures.

2. SELL YOUR LISTING AT A T. Michael Auction

Earn up to a 3% commission at settlement by entering your listing in a T. Michael Auction real estate event.

Auction Candidates:

  • A listing about to expire
  • Property that seller wants to quickly convert to cash
  • Bridge loan and "subject to the sale of existing property" situations
  • High demand - broad market properties where competition between buyers will boost the selling price
  • Inactive listing that deserves a new marketing approach
  • Estate and surplus properties
  • Financially troubled properties

To put a listing in a TMA event:

Agent must be licensed in the state in which auction is conducted
A TMA auction amendment must be added to listing agreement
Listing agent maintains sign and lock box on property, conducts open houses, shows property by appointment and attends auction to assist in closing procedures. Agent provides TMA with the necessary information to properly represent and promote the property to be auctioned.
Note: For REALTORS® who do not wish to be actively involved in the auction process, TMA offers a referral fee on a case-by-case basis for producing buyers or sellers. We will handle the entire transaction. Agent must originate initial contact between seller or buyer and TMA, LLC for each specific property auction.
