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 good auction situation.
Refer seller to 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- thought 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 benefit by being included in the marketing- getting your name out in front of public. Also, by working as a co-broker you have the opportunity to work with the unsuccessful bidders and the buyers that may be interested in another property type or location- helping you create a strong buyer’s list.

Responsibilities of Co-Broker/Agent

Provide a fact sheet on the property.
Perform market analysis.

OPTION C: Be a Cooperative Buyer-Broker

A cooperating agent or broker registers a buyer who purchases property offered through an auction and earns a commission established by the auction firm. This agent or broker accompanies the bidder to pre-auction events and the auction, registers him/her to bid, and receives a portion of the commission.

Prestige auction pays equivalent commissions to the buyer broker- we value your time and encourage your participation by compensating you fairly
