Real estate auctions provide owners of prime/trophy properties the opportunity to transition their home quickly and at top market value. I've met Ron Laird on several occassions and even interviewed him for an article I wrote on real estate auctions for the Texas Auctioneer Association.  Ron's in Houston TX, has been a broker for several decades - and more interestingly, has made a career at being a full time real estate auctioneer. He specializes in high end residential property. Read more about Ron in the below link from the Houston Chronicle.

AuctionFirst taught several hundred agents last year about the AUCTION POWER TOOL!  AuctionFirst is a CE provider in several states and teaches 3 & 4 hour courses on "Real Estate Auction Fundamentals".  We have also developed a more intense eduational course that includes certification as a real estate auction specialist.  Call me if you'd like to find out about having us teach a private course for your broker office or if you'd like us to present the class at your local or regional realtor board.

Doesn't matter where you're located - we'll come to you. We're licensed eduators in several states and adding more to the list!

Check out Dick Beal's blog on ActiveRain about the AuctionFirst CE class he attended in Wilmington NC several weeks ago. The course is interesting, fun and offers a real way to increase your profit margin.
