Organizing North Dakota Land Auctions

By Nancy Cole


Selling real estate through bidding has proven to be quite a success over the years. Due to the rate of success enjoyed during such events, very many people have embraced the idea. For this event to succeed however, so much emphasis has to be put into the preparation procedure. North Dakota land auctions can be quite hectic to plan properly. The organizing committee should be quite committed to planning all aspects in advance for fruition.

The process begins with the formulation of goals for procurement, earning and participation. The committee should make efforts to identify workable goals for the people who will be in attendance. This is very essential if there are intentions of earning from the event. Things to consider here include the number of property that should be sold through bidding and the amount of money expected from them. It will help for one to consult with professional real property agents and accountants in this area as well. In addition to that, a budget indicating how various expenses will be met should be drawn.

The venue where this event will take place should be selected as well. Among things to consider when choosing this place is the projected number of guests, costs of renting the facility, security and accessibility as well. Consider several places before choosing a particular one. After deciding on a place, issues to do with the day can also be handled. The two variables usually are decided upon at the same time since they are related.

The success of this activity depends so much on the choice of auctioneer. The committee should look for several professional auctioneers to choose from. They can also ask for recommendations from people who have organized similar activities. Such people will be able to advice you on choice of professional to use. This expert should come with his own team of helpers to reduce work.

Sending out invitations is the next activity in the preparation. A guest list of potential buyers should be drawn and invitations sent to them early in time. This will allow these people ample time to make all necessary preparations for this day. Many people use emails to deliver such message. Other viable options however include direct mail, postcards or even phone calls.

So much information must be shared during the actual event. In as much as there will be ushers to help up with this task, it will help to design written documents to aid in directing guests on procedure to be followed. Event programs, master lists, bid sheets and auction catalogs are some of the documents that the committee will have to prepare. These will help in running the event smoothly.

In as much as invitations help to lure people to the activity, it is crucial that one publicizes and promotes this activity. By describing the items that will be auctioned during the event, one can also generate excitement among the people. It is about time that a seating chart is also created for that day.

Being a land auction, displays will not be easy, the committee can however get vivid pictures of the various estate to be auctioned. This will give people an idea of the property being sold. Visually appealing displays will get buyers interesting and willing to bid highly for the property in question. Do not forget to put a check out mechanism in place eventually.
