The auction offers urgency and competition to the Buyer and choices to the Seller.

An auction is an excellent venue for buyers and sellers to establish the true value of a historic home. Because of the unique nature of the property, a historic home represents value that is difficult to access through traditional appraisal methods. The construction, style and historical significance contribute to a historic homes value in the same way that the artist, period and provenance influence the value of a work of art. The shapes and sizes of works in either historic genre may be similar but the values may differ by hundreds of thousands of dollars.
