AI summary

Selling your property at auction offers a fast, legally binding sale with unconditional bids. This method encourages buyers to focus on their maximum price, creating the potential for a bidding war that can drive up the final value.

You'll work with your agent to set a confidential reserve price. If this isn't met, you can negotiate with bidders or the property is "passed in". An auctioneer's fee applies, and attending the auction is recommended to make key decisions.
