Get to Know Mike Harper

 We bring the market to property in 30-45 days, rather than "expose"
property to the market over an extended period of time.  We can achieve
market value for real estate by utilizing an accelerated targeted marketing
approach and allowing competitive bidding to drive the price up to find the
market value on sale day.  This differs from the traditional approach of setting
an "asking price" at the top of the market and taking price reductions until the
market is found.  Our approach does this job much quicker, and assures that 
the seller has not left any money "on the table" in the process.  Whether
you are an executor of an estate, a Bank or Bankruptcy Trustee or a business
or property owner wishing to liquidate quickly AND profitably, call us for free
advice and estimates.

We also love to educate potential bidders on the auction process and about
bidding strategies that can make your investments more profitable and
rewarding.

We exist to assist sellers in realizing the maximum sales price, at a date certain, at
a reasonable cost.  As an Auctioneer/Broker, I am a seller's agent.  Our passion is
showing how the Auction Method of selling is superior in every way to traditional
Real Estate Brokerage.  My favorite saying is "A traditional Real Estate Broker sets
a price and comes down, while an Auctioneer sets a price and goes up."

We also occasionally will lend our vast experience in the auction world to those
investors interested in purchasing at auction, by representing them as a buyer's
agent.  (Not at our own auctions, however.)  We NEVER practice dual agency.
