"I am taking this
opportunity to express to you my EXTREME PLEASURE in the manner
in which you led the marketing effort and auction of my former
home in Baton Rouge, LA. When my wife Erin and I decided
to relocate to the Houston, TX area, we investigated listing our
home with a traditional agent. However, after discovering that,
in our subdivision of Wedgewood, there had only been 13
successful sales in 12 months, with many on the market I was
nervous about the time it would take to sell our home.
Couple that fact with the recent foreclosures in the
subdivision, and I FOUND IT PRUDENT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN
AUCTION. Now, it is my understanding that there are 13 HOMES IN
WEDGEWOOD IN THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS. I KNOW WITH CERTAINTY THAT
I MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO JUMP AHEAD OF THE PENDING PROBLEMS!
Mr. Burns, both my wife and
I cannot tell you how appreciative we are that you FOCUSED ON
OUR HOME AND GOT IT SOLD FOR US WITH VERY GOOD RESULTS!
Here, LESS THAN 3 WEEKS AFTER AUCTION, WE HAVE ALREADY CLOSED
the transaction, THUS ENDING OUR HOLDING COSTS. Thank you for
your PROFESSIONALISM, ATTENTIVE NATURE, AND FOCUS before, during
and after the auction. I would recommend you to anyone!"
"You REALLY aren't kidding when you say
auction sells fast. It was the BEST way for me to sell my
house in Baton Rouge......The AUCTION WAS A TREMENDOUS SUCCESS
and generated an amazing amount of interest.......The auction
process is amazing. I turned my house over to you in early
May of 2008 and, IN JUST A MONTH, YOU HAD A BUYER. To go
from LISTING TO CLOSING IN LESS THAN TWO MONTHS IN THIS MARKET
IS ASTOUNDING.....The MARKET SET THE PRICE and to me this was to
the advantage of the buyers. Even so, I was really happy
with the sale and feel it was to my advantage as well as I DON'T
HAVE ANY CONTINUED HOLDING COSTS......WHY WOULD ANYONE LIST AND
WAIT.....WAIT....WAIT...for results when they can auction and
get relatively immediate results? This was a brilliant
experience and thank you so much for all of your help."
"Robert. My wife and I learned of
your auction after visiting the property, we knew it would be a
dream come true - if we could win it. You and I worked
together so that I was pre-registered to eliminate the onsite
registration. The day of the auction was our target and THE
EXCITEMENT WHICH BUILT UP OVER THE DAYS WAS SOMETHING I NEVER
EXPERIENCED BEFORE. With over 20 bidders present, I was
not sure if we had a chance - but WITH GREAT LUCK WE WERE
SIGNING A PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITHIN AN HOUR OF THE AUCTION
STARTING TIME. I was so overwhelmed that I could barely
sign my name on the dotted line. Now, MY WIFE AND I ARE
MOVING INTO OUR DREAM HOME. I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW HOW
EASY YOU MADE THE ENTIRE AUCTION PROCESS. From the time I
called you with the 30 questions on how this works, to the
closing which was simple and fast (less than 3 weeks), I have
enjoyed working with you and thank you for your services.
Should you need a reference, feel free to contact us directly."

"What
an experience! I attended an Auction Sells Fast auction in late
2007, and thereafter Robert agreed to serve as my buying agent
for a new home for me and my family. During the next seven
months, he and I encountered just about everything
imaginable as we submitted our purchase agreements. Both Robert
and I remained steadfast in our resolve to find the right home
at the right price. It took patience and perseverance on
both our parts as we hit one roadblock after another. In
the end, however, we found the perfect home!! Thanks so much,
Robert."

"While
contemplating a town home purchase, a business associate encouraged
me to contact Robert and have him serve as my buying agent. I
was impressed with the research Robert conducts, particularly his
extensive use of COURTHOUSE RECORDS
to ascertain which properties are best suited for obtaining the best
value. I was also pleased with Robert's extensive efforts to
expand the search beyond MLS properties to include FSBOs. The
whole experience was both a learning experience and an eye-opener
for me and my wife, and we wouldn't hesitate to use him again for
any subsequent purchase in Southeast Louisiana. Thanks,
Robert!"

"I was THRILLED
AT THE LEVEL OF MARKETING EXPOSURE
that I received for my property's auction on November 15, 2007.
We were hoping for a little better luck on auction day, but we were
thrilled that we were able to get a purchase agreement executed with
a buyer only about 20 days after the auction and I got my property
sold in early January of 2008. I wouldn't hesitate to
recommend Robert to anyone seeking a fast property sale in the Baton

immediately executed a listing agreement. We held the auction

As Ms. Rita
references above, there's no better way to evaluate auction's
potential for your property
than by attending an auction and
seeing first-hand how it works. That's exactly what I did
back in April of 2001 when actively trying to sell my home in
Walden subdivision in Baton Rouge (Click

business).
All ASF auctions are open to the public, so feel
free to drop by and enjoy the fun.

"I was very
well pleased to be able to go from listing my property on May 8,
2006 to closing the transaction on June 20, 206 (ONLY 43 DAYS!).
I was also impressed with the speed with which Auction Sells
Fast responded to my needs and the close attention they paid to
details. I enjoyed being able
to take an ACTIVE PART IN MY PROPERTY'S MARKETING, including
overseeing newspaper ads and assisting with the webpage advertising. With traditional
agents, I found I had little input into what and, more importantly,
how much, advertising was deployed to market my property.
Auction Sells Fast demonstrated professionalism throughout the
process, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to
anyone desiring a fast property sale. Thanks for your help. "
Reasons Why We'd Like to Be
YOUR R/E Auction Company!!
Emphasis on Southeastern
Louisiana
Many auction real estate companies have a
regional or national focus. At ASF,
our focus is much more local to Southeastern Louisiana.
Our knowledge of Southeast Louisiana properties is more
extensive than any real estate auction company, even those with a
regional or national focus. Because
we're local, we can respond to an auction client's needs in a much
more quick and nimble fashion.
Intense INDIVIDUAL Client Focus.
EACH
client has our dedicated and
HIGHLY-FOCUSED attention from listing to closing.
We strive to auction properties solo (i.e.
not as part of a sweep) and keep YOU,
and ONLY YOU, as our focus.
A perfect example of our intense client focus which you'll quickly
notice as an ASF client is that we allocate our website's OPENING PAGE
SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY to the next auction (yours!!).
Click here to see a past ASF opening page
touting an upcoming auction.
When visitors are directed to our site,
they
IMMEDIATELY see YOUR property (and ONLY yours) with no clicking required!!
In doing so, prospective bidders' attention is not diluted among
tons of properties on the auction calendar.
We Cater to the "Small Guy."
At ASF, our
overhead is EXCEEDINGLY small. Such is NOT the
case at regional or national companies. Hence, we are
excited to assist sellers with small-dollar sales.
On the other hand, most national
companies, out of necessity due to overhead, quickly
outline their selection criteria to include the following
characteristics:
▪ $1,000,000 +
selling price,
▪ Absolute auction (sells regardless of price), and
▪ $50,000 up-front promotional fee.
At ASF, we
pride ourselves on low overhead, enabling our firm to be
profitable whether we're servicing large or small clients.
