Address: 820 S. Monaco Pkwy Suite 318 Denver, CO 80224

Never Lose Another Listing.

" The Auction C.E. class gave me some good ideas on how to approach the auction conversation when I have listings that are not moving."

How to Get Involved

By adopting an auction program YOU the Broker/Agent have the advantage of standing out from your competition.

Auctions are a valuable tool in any market. Become the auction expert and increase your sales in revenue.

We encourage you to attend one of our CE Classes or on-line webinars to learn more about the benefits of auction and the process.

OPTION A: Brokers/Agents can refer clients:

A real estate agent or broker can refer a seller to an auction company and receive a referral fee. The referring agent or broker may also be instrumental in helping the seller understand the many benefits of the auction process and help them in making an informed decision.

Responsibilities of Referring Agent/Broker:

Help seller analyze his needs, the property, and market to determine if it is a good auction situation

Refer seller to a professional real estate Auction Company

If a listing agreement exists- typically you will cancel the listing and the auction company will take an “auction-listing contract” and sign an agreement with you the broker/agent to collect a referral fee

Send notice to MLS stating that the property will be sold at auction and direct them to the auction company

Collect referral fee from auction company when the property closes- through a title company

OPTION B: Become a Co-Broker

Most auction companies do not work on a co-broker basis however, Prestige Real Estate Auction encourages co-broker situations. Our goal is to create a working relationship with you the broker/agent and help you become an auction expert- creating a niche within your business.

In a co-broker situation the auction company handles the majority of the auction process allowing you to focus on your real estate business and the auction company to focus on the details of the auction.

The co-broker is involved in the process and can benefits by being included in the marketing- increasing your exposure. Also, by working as a co-broker you have the opportunity to work with the unsuccessful bidders/ buyers that may be interested in another property type or location- helping you create a strong buyer’s list.
