We at Gant Realty believe that a properly conducted auction is still the best way to market property. An auction brings interested and potential buyers to one location at one time which creates competitive bidding for the property.

As commodity prices for grains continue strong, the land market has also stayed strong and has even risen in the last 24 months. With this, we have seen and increase in the number of investors buying land at this time. The most frequent statement from the investors, or those with money in the bank, is that current interest rates are not showing a good return, whereas land continues to be a solid investment.

An auction also brings qualified buyers who have the money or can get the money. A 10% nonrefundable deposit day of auction tells us the buyer is serious. The majority of the land auctions close in 30-60 days, depending upon any final surveys that would need need to be done.

Our job is to contact potential buyers, advertise and promote the auction, and have a successful auction for the seller. We handle all the details from start to finish.
