Selling Your Real Estate with
Olde Tyme Auctions

Your home is likely your most valuable investment. Realizing the current market value of your home should be an exciting time, however, when it comes time to sell, preparing and maintaining your home during a traditional real estate sale can often be overwhelming, exhausting and costly. An alternative to listing your home with a real estate agent is a public auction sale.

At auction, you will sell your property to the highest bid acceptable to you. Because of the competitive bidding environment of an auction, you’ll be able to determine what the market is willing to pay for your property. This will give you both certainty and confidence that your real estate has sold for its highest possible value.

There are many advantages to selling
your home with us.

  • Our fee is 2%. Compare that to traditional real estate agents that charge on average 7% of sale
  • We will facilitate 2 open houses prior to the day of sale. You don’t have to worry about last minute showings and constant calls from other agents wanting to show your home.
  • We will help you prepare for the day of sale by giving you staging ideas and other tips that will allow you to realize the maximum value of your home.

Real Estate Auctions

Testimonials

Chris is a wonderful guy. He’s fair, honest, and treated me very well.I don’t think there is a better auctioneer than him. I appreciated that he came to my house to pick up my items to be sold at auction. I have since told others about what great service and professionalism I experience from Olde Tyme Auctions. Thanks.

Having been unsure about the value of an old miniature York Safe we wanted to sell, we contacted Chris at Olde Tyme Auctions. Chris was excited about our piece and the dollar value we could achieve by selling it at auction. He really worked hard for us and marketed the item well. We were so surprised when our safe sold for $17,000! Thank you Olde Tyme Auctions for a job well done.

Since retiring earlier this year, the process of downsizing and moving from our house to a condo has unearthed a lot of long forgotten items. My first instinct was to rush to the internet to check possible values before disposing of anything. The first piece of what we once thought was scrap turned out to be somewhat collectible. Experts on-line were eager to buy it, offering me as much as $3000. Fortunately my internet searches also turned up Chris at Olde Tyme Auctions. With his connections, experience, and most of all, honesty and integrity, he was able to sell an item for us for $13,000.And to think we were about to throw it away! Thanks for the check. We’ll be back with more.

Olde Tyme Auctions treated me with respect and fairness. Among the items I wanted to sell at auction were some farm tools that I didn’t think were worth very much. To my surprise Chris was able to achieve a sound price for them. Chris is a good man and I enjoyed doing business with him.

I had some various items to sell so I researched a few different auctioneers. I decided to go with Chris Sprigle at Olde Tyme Auctions and I’m so glad I did. What a great experience! Chris worked really hard to earn us top dollar for our merchandise. He even sold our car for us which brought in a lot more than we originally thought it would.
Thanks for everything Chris.
