Listing vs. Auction: Which is Right for You?
Every property and every seller is unique.
Listing (Private Treaty): A traditional approach where your land is marketed to qualified buyers until the right offer is made. Great for sellers who want flexibility in price and timing.
Auction: A competitive, time-specific sale that drives urgency and often results in the highest market value. Ideal when you want a defined sale date and maximum exposure.
Our team helps you choose the method that best meets your goals.
