The truth is that whether you offer your property at auction or by traditional real estate listing, the buyer is the one who is spending the money and therefore controls the price. In both cases you have the right to refuse any offer, but you can’t spend the buyers money for them. Our experience is that sometimes an auction leaves you feeling that you got more, and some times a listing leaves you feeling that way. The decision to auction or not to auction should depend on criteria other than getting the most money.
