Estate Downsizing & Liquidation Services
At Auctions by Corrina, I provide downsizing and complete estate liquidation services using the online auction method.​ The popularity of online estate auctions has increased due to the ability to reach a wider audience. Online auctions let buyers bid from their phone, computer, or other devices, creating a highly competitive bidding environment which helps boost revenue while reducing foot traffic in the home.
I provide an end-to-end service which includes cataloging all items, taking multiple photographs, writing complete item descriptions, upload and launch the online auction, respond to bidders' questions, advertise on numerous channels (direct mail, social media, website, local newspaper, and more), and coordinate a safe and secure pickup of all items. At the conclusion of the online auction process, only winning bidders are provided the address location and use an online scheduler to select their pickup time avoiding overlapping pickups and allowing for only one winning bidder on the property at a time.
​
With over 25 years of sales, marketing, and auction experience,
you can have peace of mind knowing the sale of your property is in capable hands.
​The benefits of an online auction over a traditional estate sale include:​
​
-
100% accountability of all items sold. Sellers receive a detailed settlement of items sold, sold prices, commission fees, and final payout.
-
Fair market pricing. Buyers compete to purchase items and the price goes up, rather than items being sold to the first person through the door at a set price.
-
Loss prevention. Only winning bidders will be on the premises one at a time during pickup which reduces the opportunity for loss due to damage or theft.
-
Less traffic in the home. Preserves the property (residence), by restricting access to only individuals who have purchased items.
-
Low-key. Eliminates the need to conduct a multi-day estate sale and arouse unwanted attention, or by bringing traffic congestion to the neighborhood.
-
Most everything sells. Unlike traditional estate sales that leave ‘money on the table’ – online auctions are efficient and effective, typically selling 95-100% of the items offered for sale.
-
Broadens market by offering convenient online bidding. Bidders may bid from their computer or mobile device from the convenience of their home or wherever they are.
-
Removes location restrictions. Online bidding eliminates the distance barrier. Buyers do not have to drive to the location just to find out the item they were interested in purchasing had already sold. Online bidders come from all over the US and worldwide. Local buyers can pick up items, small items are available to be shipped, and other largers items can be arranged to have freight shipping.
-
Peace of mind for Estate Administrator (fiduciary, executor, etc.). Estate administrators take on the moral and legal resonsibility of protecting the assets of an estate and making fair distributions of property. Online auctions offer a transparent process for stake holders to have an opportunity to witness the liquidation process, relieving the estate administrator of the responsibility of accounting for what sold and for how much. Online auctions also provide a fair means for family and friends to purchase items of either a sentimental or material value that the administrator is unable or unwilling to distribute to them directly.
