Auction Fit

Six questions, about two minutes. It scores whether this property belongs at auction — and it will tell you when it doesn’t. No email required to see your score.

Every firm in this category will tell you auction is right for you. That is not a diagnostic, it is a sales process. This one is built to return “no,” because a mechanism that suits everything suits nothing.
01 · Comparability

How many genuinely comparable properties have sold nearby in the last twelve months?

Not similar-ish. Same use, same scale, same market.

02 · Buyer-pool depth

How many buyers could plausibly want this asset, and how far away are they?

Auction needs competition. One buyer is a negotiation, not an auction.

03 · Title condition

Is the title clean and the ownership settled?

An auction sells on a date certain. Anything unresolved has to be resolved first.

04 · Timeline

Does a known sale date help or hurt?

Auction produces a date. If a date is worthless here, the mechanism is wasted.

05 · Seller position

What has already happened with this property?

Where a listing has stalled, the alternative to auction is another price cut.

06 · Market dispersion

When similar assets sell around here, how consistent are the prices?

Dispersion is auction’s home field. Where prices scatter, bidding is the only honest test.
