Retail Center in New Mexico Breaks the Mold of Traditional Real Estate Sales

Dubbed as the first bank-owned online real estate auction in this New Mexico town, FRE.com looks for a buyer for the Hillside Plaza, a multi-tenant retail center

****************************************************************************************************

Alamogordo, NM – Located along the busy Tenth Street corridor in downtown Alamogordo sits an investment opportunity summoning buyers with its unique selling method – an online auction. As the first ever online auction of property in this small New Mexico town, Hillside Plaza is currently owned by a bank that is very motivated to sell it as evident by the minimum bid.

“It may seem a bit over the top to conduct an online auction for a property located in a small town such as Alamogordo, but there are plenty of buyers out there, nationally and internationally, who are looking for any good real estate deal”, states LFC’s Director of Operations Ryan Devin. “Why limit the pool of potential buyers to just those within a small radius? At the end of the day the bank wants a buyer, whether they are from Alamogordo, New Mexico or Florida, or even Canada – it’s a matter of concluding the auction with a successful sale. ”

As an alternative choice to a traditional real estate sale, online auctions can be particularly effective for sellers wanting to dispose of their property but are not willing to chase the market. An auction creates a trading platform that brings the buyer and seller together in such a way that fair market value is realized

The bank-owned building is approximately 32,000 square feet and on over 1.63 acres of land. It carries a C-3 business zoning and is partially occupied with some leases in place through 2014. It is centrally located and has great street frontage and accessibility. The minimum bid is $350,000 with all bids to be submitted by February 9th.

Alamogordo is located in the southern portion of New Mexico, approximately 70 miles from Las Cruces.

As with all of auctions on the Freedom Realty Exchange website, property research, due diligence and even bidding are conducted completely online, removing the inconvenience and unwanted pressure that comes with a traditional outcry auction. Interested buyers can access property documents and auction details by visiting FRE.com/115R2.

Former Daycare Facility up for Online Auction

Posted by rbennett on May 31, 2011
Kansas Commercial Real Estate / No Comments

A RE/MAX Commercial sales specialist recently enrolled in our Never Lose a Listing program and  brought a former daycare facility to online auction at our global auction marketplace, FRE.com. This property is located in the NW section of Kansas City, KS and is conveniently located a short distance from Leavenworth Rd. and I-435. Though previously used as a day care facility, the property’s 3,700 sq. ft., open floor plan could be easily adapted to suit a church or a variety of other agencies. The property also sits on approximately 2 acres of land zoned for residential use but the property taxes are considered commercial through the city.

The minimum bid for this property is starting at a mere $75,000 while the property’s suggested value is at posted at $180,000, more than double the minimum bid value! However, with a date certain for sale and bid deadline scheduled for June 23rd at 5pm CDT, you can’t waste any time drooling and muttering “goo-goo-ga-ga” over this incredible deal. See all of the property details, photos, and documents available for download on the auction webpage.

No Reserve in the Auction for a Specialty Car Wash

Strategically built between the cities of Sacramento and San Francisco, this move-in ready, +/-2,244SF specialty car wash facility and freestanding retail center is situated only a short distance from the I-80 in Suisun City, CA. The property features three individual car wash bays and  space for equipment. On the other hand, the second building is approximately 1,940SF and has the potential of being subdivided for multiple tenants and a variety of retail uses.  With an aggressive Bid Deadline and date certain for sale on June 16th, this auction is generating a lot of investor interest for its pricing as well.

The auction’s minimum bid starts at $249,000,  a fraction of the property’s $640,000 suggested value, but the major head-turning feature is the fact that the action also has no reserve! I know some of you might be asking “how does this sweeten the deal?” or “what’s a reserve?” so, in short, not having a reserve means that the property must sell.

When a property is being offered “with reserve,” it means that the seller is not obligated to accept the highest bid unless it meets or exceeds a predetermined release price. So, in this particular online auction, when the auction is being held “without reserve,” the seller will be obligated to move forward with the winning high bidder. Got it? O.k. great.  Now on your marks. Ready. Set. BID (excuse the car/racing pun)! because this could be your only chance to pick up this asset at an incredible value.

For all of the online auction details, documents and photos, check out the auction webpage at FRE.com.

First Never Lose a Listing Auction Successful

The Never Lose a Listing® program is the newest addition to the LFC Group of Companies’ online auction platform, and we would like to highlight the first success story from this program for real estate professionals. If you missed our first post about Never Lose a Listing®, I’ll bring you up to speed on how the program works.

Never Lose a Listing® is aimed at commercial real estate professionals who want to utilize LFC’s online auction technology at no cost while keeping 100% of their sales commission. Real estate professionals looking to diversify their marketing strategies can use this program to build and run their own online auction campaigns, helping them capture buyer attention in today’s saturated commercial market. Participants in the program manage all of their online auctions while keeping a close watch on their prospects through the platform’s detailed prospect management tools.Furthermore, prospective buyers are directed to the broker’s exclusive landing page as participants market their listings independently from LFC.

One of the first real estate professionals to auction commercial property with this program generated a tremendous amount of buyer attention by utilizing LFC’s marketing tools, and in return, received multiple bids on the property. The auction was originally scheduled to end on April 29th, 2010, but the seller elected to invoke LFC’s patent-pending bid extension process, LAST CALL®, and the frenzy of competing buyers kept the auction going for an additional six days. In previous posts, I’ve explained how the extra time afforded by LAST CALL® protects bidders from unfairly losing the auction and allows them extra time to deliberate through their due diligence. Needless to say, the bidders might never have found their way to the online auction if not for the broker’s persistent use of LFC’s marketing tools.

One such cost-effective tool is auction signage. With Never Lose a Listing®, participating brokers can purchase the same signage that has proven remarkably effective throughout LFC’s storied history. Each auction sign, as well as all marketing fliers generated by the system, feature a unique URL that takes interested buyers directly to the auction property’s webpage, where prospects can view more property details and photos and perform extensive due diligence prior to placing a bid. Signage is one of the most cost effective and successful forms of marketing an online auction, and LFC streamlines the process, allowing brokers to focus on what they do best.

We expect this broker to capitalize on the opportunity to continue using LFC’s online auction technology in the near future, and we hope that his new auctions are as successful as this one. For more information about this program, visit LFC.com/NLL now.

LFC Expands Program, Invites Brokers to Use Online Auction Platform at No Cost

Posted by rbennett on March 16, 2010
Never Lose a Listing / No Comments

Here is the press release about the Never Lose a Listing® program written by the other co-author of the Commercial Auction Listings blog and the Public Relations Specialist for the LFC Group of Companies, James Gerber:

The LFC Group of Companies, industry leaders in online real estate auction marketing, is expanding their Never Lose a Listing® program for commercial real estate to allow the brokerage community to utilize the company’s robust online auction platform at no cost while retaining 100 percent of their commission. At a time when many brokers are struggling in this challenging market, Never Lose a Listing® represents an opportunity for them to expand their marketing strategies and gain a competitive advantage.

“I think everyone agrees that the commercial real estate market is going to get worse before it gets better, and only the most forward-thinking brokers have a chance to succeed,” said Shawn Miller, LFC’s Director of Sales. “Never Lose a Listing® lets brokers conduct their own auctions using our industry leading online auction technology and platform. This will let them rise above the fray, focus market attention on their properties, bridge the gap between buyer and seller, resulting in a quick sale at the best possible price. We’re not going to go in and take over their listings; we’re simply offering an auction platform as an alternative tool to close deals for their clients.”

Never Lose a Listing® (NLL) marks a new collaboration between LFC and the commercial brokerage community. Brokers can use the NLL portal to set up the online auction by creating their own branded auction webpage, entering property information, uploading property documents and photographs, and setting auction parameters, such as the minimum bid and bid deadline. Once their auction is “live” on the website, the broker utilizes our “back-engine” auction technology to conduct the advertising campaign, manage prospective bidders, and direct everything from the bidding to the final sale. There are no upfront costs, and the broker retains 100 percent of the commission. Only upon the successful sale of the property will LFC earn a nominal fee paid by the buyer at closing.

LFC has a proven track record of successful partnerships with some of the country’s largest commercial brokerages, including CB Richard Ellis, Grubb & Ellis and Jones Lang LaSalle, and the expansion of the NLL program allows brokers from anywhere to conduct their own online auctions.

“LFC works with brokers to achieve success in even the most challenging of circumstances,” said Tom Scheuerman, Managing Broker at Grubb & Ellis | Pfefferle in Appleton, Wisconsin, who partnered with LFC to conduct a bankruptcy auction for a large, difficult land parcel, resulting in a sales price that far exceeded expectations.

Over the years, LFC has successfully auction marketed commercial properties for such major companies as Coca-Cola Enterprises, St. Joe Company and Adelphia Communications Corporation. With a variety of recent successful sales, including the former Elk Meadows ski resort in Utah, LFC has proven that their robust online auction platform can sell anything and everything, from high-end residential estates, to retail/office condos, to industrial/commercial properties, to a remote Utah mountain.
