EVER WONDERED HOW REAL ESTATE AUCTIONS WORK AND HOW YOU, AS A VENDOR, CAN BENEFIT?

__“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world. The unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself . Therefore , all progress depends on the unreasonable man” _ George Bernard Shaw, Irish dramatist.

I have chosen the above quotation by George Bernard Shaw as many reckon, with my passion for auctions , that I fit the “unreasonable man” he refers to.

With 43 years experience now auctioneering across Australia and in Indonesia, PNG, New Zealand and the United States, I am a 110% advocate of this 3500 year old marketing method.

Many things have passed under my gavel in that period ,ranging from real estate, pedigreed and commercial livestock, industrial and mining machinery, fine art, aircraft, yachts and even budgerigars!

So it would not surprise you that when the auction system comes under attack from it’s opponents, I “ gird my loins” and come out swinging!

Such is the case with the auctioning of real estate, especially residential property, when agents who do not know how to run auction correctly, take the vendors money, run a shambles of a campaign and in the process, bring auctions into disrepute!

To counteract that, I have written two books :-

The Complete Guide to selling Real Estate by Auction which is available in paperback form and has sold so far across Australia and into Canada, China, Indonesia, PNG, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States and

The Vendors Guide to selling Real Estate by Auction which is available as a downloadable e-book.

Both books can be purchased through the internet at the Molpir Publications website. Simply go to the website, click on “Publications”, then choose the book/books you wish to purchase, click on their Shopping cart button and follow the instructions.

We will also be releasing shortly two more real estate oriented e-books and my motivational book Success starts with a Dream__ which will come as a paperback/audio CD pack.

I’d better get back to writing so I’ll head off now
