Booking an auction with Steve Long Realty & Auction is easy, fast and most of all we can come to you. We are ready to help you prepare for a successful auction. Below are a few things you will need to consider before we schedule our meeting.
- What date will work for you?
Keep in mind we need a minimum of 30 days to get all advertising designed and scheduled, with 45 to 6 months being best.
- What date will we need to schedule the open house?
This needs to be done around 3-4 weeks before your auction date to insure potential buyers have time to get their financing in order.
- What is my target price?
This is the price you hope to get for your property.

This is the price you are willing to accept to sell your property. Keep in mind, you want to sell your property and if we have a buyer who wants to buy your property and has the financial capability to do so, you need to be ready and willing to act on that.
Absolute or Reserve?
Absolute Auction
An Absolute auction means that you are going to sell your property on the day of the auction. This means there is no “Reserve Price”. This in our experience, is the best way to sell your property. Buyers who attend an “Absolute Auction” know for sure the property will sell on the day of auction and they will do the homework to insure their financing is in place and this is the property they want to buy. Many price studies show that “Absolute Auction” prices are generally 15 to 20 percent higher than “Reserve Auction” prices. Advertising costs vary depending upon the type of auction, value of your property and of course location of your property.
Reserve Auction
A “Reserve Auction” is an auction that has a reserve price set prior to auction day. This reserve price is a confidential price that will not be advertised or discussed with the public. This confidentiality is an absolute must. In most cases, we the auction team do not want to know your reserve price. We do need to know the target price to help us determine if you are pricing the property at a competitive price. In our current economic conditions, if you are not competitive with comparable properties, you are very likely not going to get an acceptable bid on auction day. Advertising costs vary depending upon the type of auction, value of your property and of course location of your property.
