"I had heard a great deal (all good) regarding Auction Management Corporation before I got the opportunity to put them to the test. The property was a single family residence and its contents. Their performance, and the results, exceeded all expectations. They handled both auctions (personal property and real property) very professionally. The properties were exposed to a very wide listing. As a result, the sales generated approximately one-third more than my client and I expected. A great result and a trouble-free experience for us. Thanks!"

Why Auction? Am I a Good AMCbid Auction Candidate?
My Asset Rocks
Congratulations asset rocker! If you’ve got a kick-Asset that people want and are willing to pay for, there is no better way to liquidate your property than by the auction method.
Auctions for high-demand assets are like MasterCard commercials: they’re priceless.
My Asset is Distressed
Hey, we get it and we’re here to tell you that you’re not alone. It’s natural to be hesitant or concerned about what to do next; we hear it all the time:
Q: What should I do if my house is underwater?
A: Be honest with us. Many times we can get the lender involved as they usually do not want to have to foreclose and may agree to take less
Q: What if there is a lien on my property?
A: Let us know. We will tell you if it is likely to be an obstacle
Q: What if I’m considering filing for Bankruptcy?
A: Let us give you an honest assessment of value before taking that step. Once you have bankrupted, the rules change
Q: What if the property is going into foreclosure?
A: Do not wait until it is too late. We need 30 to 45 days to market a property, and we cant help you if you call 2 weeks before the foreclosure
Good news for what may have seemed like bad news…these “issues” are music to an investor’s ear!
With the economic changes in real estate over the past several years, our more astute sellers are sending their assets to auction. Likewise, investors have learned the benefits of bidding on distressed real estate.
Hence, why auctions are so popular right now. Savvy buyers rarely purchase from agents these days. Auctions have become one of the most common ways to pick up an asset and our investors are gobbling up real estate.
My Business Needs Liquidating
We call it FF&E in the auction world. It stands for furniture, fixtures, and equipment and we’ve done everything from door manufacturing plants to commercial grade security systems to movie sets. Some of our best buyers are second-hand FF&E distributers and will generally pay a pretty penny to snatch up these goods in bulk.
I want to clean up my portfolio
There’s nothing better than cold hard cash. For many of our sellers, they are ready to stop the bleed of property taxes and other expenses to free up cash and invest in other projects. Whether you’re tightening up your investment portfolio, raising money for other investments, or require funds for pay off creditors, the auction method is a sure-fire way to raise cash as fast as possible.
I want to raise money for my foundation/charity
Bake sales are nice and sweet, but they may not provide the big donation dollars that a successful auction could bring. We understand the value in strategic auction fundraising and can help guide you through the most effective auction methods from A to Z.
A list of questions to ask yourself before considering the auction process:
- What will I do with the money I free up from the proceeds of a quick auction sale? (Give the money to a charity, family members, do something for myself, or make a better investment?)
- Can I afford to hold on to this property and have ongoing liability, expenses, taxes, assessments etc.?
- How much of my time have I spent dealing with this property? Can I spend it on fun stuff? More productive pursuits?
- Will the property lose value if I continue to hold onto it? Am I better off selling now?
- Will selling the property be a good way to dissolve a partnership? A lingering asset from a previous marriage?
- Am I under pressure from my company to have an exit strategy for underperforming or poorly performing assets?
- Is there a lot of interest in this property? If so, do I dare to set a price and risk selling it for less than it may bring in a truly competitive sale?
AMCbid

MAXIMIZING FUNDRAISING EFFORTS
Raising money for a great cause can be one of the most rewarding acts of human kindness, and it can also be one of the most exhausting! Fundraising professionals and nonprofit leaders go to great lengths to keep their organization running smoothly and we understand that profitability makes charitable acts possible.
Your choice to hire a professional fundraising auctioneer can relieve some of the stresses associated with planning every type of fundraising event from the smallest social gatherings to the largest annual galas.
Maximize Our Services, Hire Us Early
One common mistake that organizations tend to make is waiting to hire an auctioneer after a bulk of the planning has been completed. The most successful fundraising events are executed by incredible party planners and knowledgeable Benefit Auction Specialists who work together to maximize the potential of reaching their goals. Fortunately, AMCbid can offer both! With our expert team of consultants, fundraising auctioneers, event planners, and sponsorship brokers, we are a one stop shop for those who need to raise money in fun and exciting ways.
Our Event Planning and Benefit Auction Services range from:
- Free Initial Consultation- understand the what, when, why, and how of your fundraising goals and the vision for your event, encouraging you to make decisions with auction psychology in mind
- Event Consultation- advise on event timeline, run-of-show, integration of event theme, sound/video consultation, invitations, and all marketing pieces to maximize donation dollars
- Auction Consultation- creating strategy for donation items, live vs. silent selection, preparation of “the ask letter” and auction display
- Team Discovery- meet with committee members, employees, and board members to understand the purpose, goals, and perceived challenges of the actual event
- Alternative Funding Options- discussing sponsorships, donors and invitees to minimize out of budget expenses and maximize fundraising efforts
- Message Delivery and Strategy- developing and maintaining the integrity of the cause while effectively demonstrating the importance of donations in a fun and engaging way
- Fund-A-Need (FAN) Strategy- understanding the WHY behind each tier and how to deliver the message concisely
- Additional Revenue Builders- offering various opportunities for guests to donate in unique and meaningful ways
- Story Integration- how to tastefully weave “the story” into every aspect of the event to deliver a strong unified message to attendees
- Volunteer Training- spending time with event-day employees and volunteers to streamline event procedures, practice event day lingo, and effectively setup check-in and check-out stations
- Event Day- greet, welcome, and connect with guests as they arrive to build rapport with the audience
- Donor and guest retention- learn how to cultivate a strong network of donors and a foundation of effective communication with future and past attendees
Selling As A Private Owner
As a property owner who is looking to sell real estate or equipment, you can benefit from the auction method in a number of situations. Many people believe that auctions are best suited for financially or physically distressed property that needs to sell quickly. While this is the case for some circumstances, auctions can also be a successful tool for private owners of:
- Unneeded or unwanted equipment or inventory
- Real estate in high demand, both commercial and residential
- Unique or “one of a kind” property
- Farmland, ranches, and acreage
- Luxury homes and vacation property
- Situations with multiple owners who wish to arrive at an equitable distribution, enabling individual heirs or members of the partnership or LLC to bid on the assets
Knowledge is Power: Auction Education
It is normal for someone new to the process to feel hesitant about auctioning an asset until they fully understand the value of the AMCbid method. We want you to feel confident that your best interests are being protected, and we will be the first to tell you if the auction method is not right for your situation.
We establish all Terms and Conditions of the sale prior to signing a contract and give you control of marketing budget, sale date, and closing date.There are a number of procedures we follow prior to auction day to ensure that you have competent bidders who are both financially and emotionally prepared to commit to a purchase.
Learn more about the auction lingo and process here:
Valuing Your Asset and Creating Urgency
Unlike a traditional real estate listing that can sit on the market for months or years at a time, the auction method creates immediate attention and urges interested parties to act fast. After completing a full analysis of property valuation, AMCbid will market the property within the budget allowance in unique and effective ways to attract willing and able buyers. Auctions don’t wait for the market, they create the market!
Once we have completed all market research on your asset, we proceed by:
- Creating buzz for your property by utilizing proper advertising channels
- Hosting tours and inspections in an inviting atmosphere
- Communicating with prospects and demonstrating the value of the property
- Ensuring that all potential buyers fully understand the terms and conditions of the sale
- Registering bidders after they have submitted proof of funds and been approved
- Hosting an auction event that urges people to bid competitively
Business, Rolling Stock and FF&E Appraisals and Liquidations
Liquidations present a unique set of obstacles that a properly executed auction can help overcome, especially for FF&E (furniture, fixtures, and equipment) situations. Our liquidation specialists help minimize loss and maximize returns for trustees, bank equipment lending departments, and businesses that require an expedited process.
Liquidation may be the best option under the following circumstances:
- Repossessed SBA or other small asset loan
- Undetermined amount of inventory
- Unaccounted asset value
- Tight timeline with limited resources
- Unsure how to categorize, organize, or display items
- Limited access to liquidation technology and software
- Unsure how to effectively advertise and market a sale of this kind
Once the personal property auction has concluded, we often sell the real estate associated with the business, which we explain in more detail below under “Liquidating Your Commercial Real Estate”
Liquidation Strategy
With our expert team of appraisers and inventory managers, we can implement auction solutions that will create a smooth and seamless process to expedite a liquidation and help you sleep at night. We strongly encourage using AMCbid to sell or auction the real estate once the asset liquidation has concluded and therefore would be included in our marketing efforts.
The exact process will vary depending on your unique circumstance, however our general approach will consist of these 6 steps:
- Assessing inventory valuation, marketing budget and timeline for client approval
- Implement marketing plan, highlighting “big ticket” items
- Catalog inventory sequence based on bidder psychology
- Provide staff for asset organization, online auction input, and security
- Market to potential buyers, host inventory and real estate previews
- Conduct a successful live and/or online auction and monitor removal of goods
Industrial Liquidations
AMCbid has experience with industrial, construction, heavy machinery, and other FF&E auctions and knows how to target an audience that is capable of valuing, purchasing and shipping large assets. We understand that large equipment and industrial machinery needs to be handled professionally and our number one priority during preview and pickup is safety. To assure personal safety, a secure environment, and quality care for equipment, we will:
- Hire trusted, experienced, and insured packers or riggers for dismantle
- Provide secure warehouse space for temporary holdings, if needed
- Help coordinate deinstallation, crating, and shipping
- Provide equipment identification code, history and condition to the best of our knowledge
Once the equipment has been purchased and removal dates are established, we typically auction the real estate of the former business, warehouse, manufacturing plant, or industrial yard.
Liquidating Your Commercial Real Estate
Marketing the auction of your commercial real estate in conjunction with your business liquidation is a highly effective way to stimulate interest from potential buyers. There are a number of benefits to this strategy:
- Reduce marketing costs by combining efforts
- Increase foot traffic by appealing to varying markets and types of buyers
- Provide due diligence documents in one location
- Gather real estate auction prospects from bidders registered at liquidation sale
- Give buyers the opportunity to bid in both auctions
Auction Investors
AMCbid caters to real estate investors on both the buying and selling side of the auction process. Savvy investors are drawn to buying and selling at auction for many different reasons on either end of the transaction.
Investors Sell at Auction to:
- Quickly sell an asset
- Free up capital
- Reduce operating costs
- Control the terms and conditions of the sale
- Assure the maximum level of offers through bidding process
- Ensure the buyer pays the sales commission via the buyer’s premium
Investors Buy at Auction to:
- Get a great deal
- Outbid competition for a luxury property
- Create value through quick cash closing
- Improve distressed property for resale or income producing property
- Deal with a bank or other investor instead of sentimental homeowners
- Obtain unique property types that would otherwise be hard to find through ordinary brokerage listings
Investing in Relationships
AMCbid has many investors who buy assets at our auctions on a regular basis and we have deemed them our “Legacy Investors”. These individuals have proven they are trustworthy and receive personal phone calls notifying them of upcoming auction deals. Not surprisingly, several of the same investors who buy at our auctions eventually become our sellers. They are interested in auctions for one or more of the following investment strategies:
- Renovating and reselling property for quick capital gain
- Upgrading and/or leasing property for long term cash flow
- Regional relocation
- Portfolio liquidation
Investment Portfolio Liquidation
AMCbid has successfully liquidated portfolios for Lenders, REO or Special Asset departments, Investors, and other owners of large numbers of properties with the fast and efficient auction method.
We sometimes work with investors or organizations that have one or two properties they would like to auction, while at other times we are hired to liquidate an entire portfolio.
A few reasons people choose to liquidate:
- Reduce property management time and expense
- Bankruptcy, Foreclosure or Reorganization
- Freeing up capital for Reinvestment
- Unexpected illness or death
In a portfolio liquidation, the assets may include a variety of property types, residing in several regions, and in various states of repair. In a few circumstances, AMCbid has auctioned 100+ properties from a portfolio over a few days. One Lender-Owned liquidation included 50+ properties of all types spread over 17 states.
AMCbid has what it takes to be a turnkey solution for all your portfolio disposition needs:
- Experience in valuation, marketing and auctioning of all different property types
- Licensure to conduct real estate and equipment auctions in every state
- Partners in almost every state to assist in auction process
- Successful auction history in all 50 states
Auctions for Bank Owned Assets
AMCbid works with community, regional, and national banks by implementing auction solutions that help protect financial interest in an asset.
The primary benefit for a bank to employ the auction method is to liquidate holdings in a professional and timely manner that attracts willing and able buyers for the following situations:
- Bank-Owned Real Estate
- Foreclosed Properties
- Special Assets
- Non-Performing Chattel Loans and Repossessions
Compliance Policies and Auction Procedures
To ensure the auction will adhere to institutional policies, we advise on and agree to terms and conditions that are compliant with company regulations. The auction manager will work with the receiver or asset manager to set realistic expectations, establish a marketing budget, and create a reasonable timeline that is mutually agreed upon by all parties involved.
Once an auction services agreement has been signed, we proceed to execute the auction process in four core phases:
- Immediately submitting accelerated marketing strategy, marketing materials, contract documents, budget and timeline for approval
- Implementing the approved marketing plan and providing reports and feedback throughout the process
- Educating prospects by providing comprehensive due diligence documents and engaging registered parties to bid competitively on auction day
- Promptly processing earnest money and signed contract to ensure a quick closing
Our carefully mapped strategy takes between 3 and 8 weeks depending on the property type and the level of urgency. We market the asset based on a number of factors relative to the current market trends in the area and typically close real estate sales within 30 days of the auction sale.
National, Regional and Local Market Presence
In contrast to many of our competitors, we don't claim to have a foothold in every market around the nation, nor do we believe that there is one best way to market an auction asset.
AMCbid has built strong relationships with auctioneers, brokers, and knowledgeable affiliates around the country who help keep us informed on current real estate trends and market-specific information and customs that add value to the local sales process.
The philosophy to partner with reputable auctioneers and industry professionals has been instrumental in growing AMCbid to the national presence it has today.
Who We Serve
AMCbid specializes in the rapid disposition of assets at true market price for sellers who understand the time value of money. The auction process can be a beneficial tool for accomplishing your goals quickly and we often find ourselves working with people in roles such as:
- Disposition Managers
- Lenders with non-performing loans
- Borrowers with lender pressure to dispose of asset
- Court appointed receivers
- Real Estate Investors
- Bankruptcy Trustees or Attorneys
- Business Owners
- Estate Executors and Attorneys
- Dissolving Partnerships
- Individual Sellers
Why Should I Auction?
Every circumstance in the auction world is unique and therefore the first step in our process involves a thorough understanding of what you would like to sell and why. Our primary goal is to implement an effective marketing strategy that stimulates bid competition amongst educated buyers within a suitable turn-around time. Our approach is best for those who need to:
- Quickly sell an asset
- Free up capital
- Reduce operating costs or liabilities
- Set the sale date and closing date

Terms to Know in the Auction World
The most important Terms are the Terms and Conditions of the sale!
Terms and Conditions are rules one must agree to abide by in order to use our service. The Ts and Cs include general and special arrangements, provisions, requirements, rules, specifications, and standards that you contractually agree upon in order to become an approved bidder.
Important details to consider include the Proof of Funds, Earnest Money Deposit, Buyer’s Premium, Required Closing Date, Broker Commission, and the obligation to execute the Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) provided and wire transfer all payments on auction day. (terms to anchors)
What are Due Diligence Documents?
As a potential buyer, it is necessary to assess the risks of your investment and review all available information. Every transaction is different and there is no secret formula. However, it is important to do your Due Diligence and review all related documentation.
You will be able to find and download all available Due Diligence materials on the Documents tab, behind the Details of the auction webpage. These will generally include, but are not limited to, a County Assessor's Property Record and Tax Plat Map, Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) with Legal Description of Property (Exhibit A), and Broker Registration Form. If available, information on recent property tax payments, Quit Claim Deed, Declaration of Covenants and Restrictions, current Leases, and Appraisal documents will be provided for your review.
What is a Buyer’s Premium?
Every auction we conduct has an added buyer’s premium. The buyer’s premium amount will vary depending on the terms and conditions of the sale. It equates to a percentage of the winning bid and will be added to the final purchase price. For example, if the high bid on a property is $100,000 and the buyer’s premium is 10%, that makes the final purchase price $110,000. You must factor-in the buyer’s premium when you set your high bid amount, and be prepared to deposit your earnest money within 5 business hours if you are the highest bidder. See example below
What is Earnest Money?
In addition to a signed contract, an earnest money deposit is an essential element of real estate transactions. It assures the seller that you are serious about the purchase, and protects you, as the buyer, by securing your interest in the property. The earnest money deposit is generally between 10-20% of the total purchase price, which is the winning bid PLUS the buyer’s premium. Your earnest money can be deposited into our escrow account by delivery of a check or by bank wire, and we will provide you with all necessary information to make the transaction as smooth and efficient as possible. See example below:
Purchase Example:
| Winning Bid: | 147,500.00 |
| 10% Buyer’s Premium | +$14,750.00 |
| Total Purchase Price: | $162,250.00 |
| 20% Earnest Money Deposit | (- $32,450.00) |
| Remainder Due (30 Days) | $129,800.00 |
What does “As-Is Where-Is” mean?
You’ve probably noticed that an essential element of all auctions is the term “as-is, where-is”. This means that you are purchasing the asset (real estate or personal property) in it’s “as-is” condition with no requirement upon the seller to repair, improve, or otherwise expend money to alter the asset in any way. This means you must do your homework prior to bidding! For example, many lenders will only make loans on properties that meet certain habitability or condition requirements. If you are buying a house in “as-is” condition, it may or may not qualify for conventional financing. You need to be sure that you have available funds to close the transaction regardless of whether it meets conventional underwriting requirements.
Closing a Real Estate Transaction
A typical real estate auction closing deadline is 30 days after the sale. Read the Terms and Conditions and sales contract carefully to see where the closing must occur and how the closing costs are split between buyer and seller. The contract may specify a particular closing attorney or title company to close the transaction. Typically, the buyer pays most or all of the fees charged by the closing agent. Taxes and assessments are typically prorated and if you obtain financing to close the transaction, you should expect to pay all costs incurred for that financing. It is important to note that auction sales are never subject to financing, so you should have your financing lined up prior to bidding, as your earnest money may be forfeited if you cannot close due to insufficient funds.
The closing can occur at the closing agents office, or through email and overnight mail. For example the closing agent may email you the documents to sign, get notarized, and send back to the closing attorney. The balance of the money due can typically be sent to the closing agent’s escrow account via wire transfer or cashiers check.
Closing is always contingent upon the seller’s ability to deliver insurable title to the purchaser. In some states, the title policy is available prior to the auction for examination prior to bidding. In other states, the title is typically not ordered until after the contract has been signed and is delivered to the buyer to examine prior to closing. The contract will contain language regarding title examination procedure so that you can make certain you’re getting insurable title.
