The Right Selling Method for Your Property
Traditional Real Estate
A traditional listing may be ideal for homeowners who want to market their property through the local real estate market, consider individual offers, and negotiate the terms and timing of the sale.
No two properties or selling situations are exactly alike. Some homes and commercial properties are best marketed through a traditional real estate listing, while farms, acreage, estates, equipment, and other unique assets may benefit from the competitive auction process.
Godby Realty & Auction offers experience in both methods. Our team will meet with you, evaluate your property and goals, and help determine the most effective way to bring it to market.
The Auction Method
An auction can establish a defined sale date, create buyer urgency, and bring qualified bidders together in a competitive environment. Auctions may be used for real estate, farms, commercial property, estates, personal property, equipment, and more.
Homes, investment properties, residential lots, and lake-area properties throughout Somerset and the surrounding region.
