Accelerated Marketing Group - Auctions

The auction process removes the paradigm of pricing by encouraging vast market penetration and creates the best forum to understand a property’s true market value. Formats that are used by First Place Commercial Realty include open out-cry auction and sealed bid auction. More information about each format is listed below:

Open Out-Cry Auction: This is by far the most traditional and recognized method of the auction process. Terms are set by the seller. Pre-sale marketing and due diligence are conducted beforehand and the auction event takes place at a predetermined date, time and location. Bidders are pre-qualified with certified funds to bid and the event is open and conducted live in a competitive environment.

Sealed Bid: While this is similar to the Open Out-Cry Auction, offers are submitted in a Sealed Bid format to a certain location at a predetermined date, time and location. Offers are then opened in a closed-door environment. The price is reviewed by the seller with the terms of the offering having been preset. This format provides for more control over the transaction and is usually best suited for hard to value assets. In this case, the seller has the flexibility to request “best and final” offers from qualified buyers in the competitive range of pricing.

Sale Leaseback

The national Sale/Leaseback Team of  First Place Commercial Realty offers both national reach and Ohio expertise across all major asset classes. For high net worth individuals and institutional investors looking to make investments in the corporate real estate of credit worthy businesses, or corporations looking to reduce balance sheet liabilities while receiving favorable financing the sale/leaseback may be an excellent opportunity.
