Vision

To establish Dixon’s Online Auction as Virginia’s premier online auction company, making a global impact in the industry and embodying the values of honesty, integrity and personal touch as the foundation of our business.  

 

Mission

We bridge the gap between buyers and sellers to provide a seamless experience for all by upholding the highest standards of auctioneering and by matching the latest technology with the success of old-school practices.   

Thinking about bidding on some of our Real Estate?      Do you need a mortgage, but do not know who to call?

Get pre-approved.. By getting pre-approved as a buyer,  you can put yourself in a better position to make a serious offer when you do decide to bid on a house. Unlike pre-qualification, which is based on a cursory review of your finances, pre-approval from a lender is based on your actual income, debt and credit history. By doing a thorough analysis of your actual spending power, you’ll be able to put yourself in the drivers seat! and be able to bid with confidence.  We work with excellent lenders who can help guide you in this process and make sure you have access to all of the local mortgage incentives that some internet lenders may not have.

We work with some of the best mortgage lenders in Richmond. If you need help getting your mortage, contact one of the gentlemen below, so you can obtain the home of your dreams!

For many years Dixon's Real Estate division has worked in partnership with thousands of real estate brokers and sales people.  Every year we gladly pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to Realtors who refer pre-registered eventual buyers.  

We pay the standard 3% commission to any Realtor who pre-registers and represents their client as the successful buyer.  There are strict rules and guidelines that must be followed, so please read the Broker Participation Form carefully before you fill it out.

If you are an agent and have a buyer have your client fill out the Opening Bid Agreement form and make sure they list you as their broker.

When I sell my house at auction, may I set a reserve?

Yes! Although a home that is sold absolute to the highest bidder, is a great marketing strategy, a reserve may be placed on the home. The reserve is not disclosed to the public and the home will be fully marketed to obtain the highest price.

Do I have to sell my home if reserve is not met?

Absolutely not! The Property will be sold Subject to Seller’s Confirmation, only if high bid is less than the agreed upon reserve.  This means that after the High Bid  has been received and acknowledged by Auctioneer, Seller may determine, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to (i) accept such bid or (ii) reject such bid.

Are homes sold at auction typically foreclosures?

Absolutely not! Homes sold at auction are typically good homes that need good owners. Sellers may opt to hold a real estate auction verse a typical listing so that they may sell the property faster with less selling costs. Some properties that we have sold in the past were from owners who are downsizing, settling an estate, selling investment homes, or just wanted to sell quickly.

Are homes sold at auction in need of repair?

Absolutely not! Some may be quite dated or have out dated kitchens, baths, including old wallpaper, decorations, carpet, paint, etc. Some may have minor damage that has gone unaddressed for a long time.

We will decline the following items:

  • Particle board furniture (such as kit form computer desks and work stations)
  • Box springs, mattresses and used bed linens 
  • Smelly or overly stained rugs or upolstered furniture (pet urine, mold, food etc.)
  • Used clothing with the exception of vintage and period designer label items
  • Mismatched kitchen glasses, cups, battered pots and pans, Tupperware ­(these are yard sale items that should be donated)
  • Fluffy toys / stuffed toys
  • VCR’s and VCR tapes
  • Smelly appliances, electronics and power tools that are not in working condition
  • Pornographic magazines and DVD’s (Playboy collections are ok)
  • Any item that we think is either yard sale quality or should be donated

Remember ­ CLEAN GOODS ARE WORTH MORE MONEY!

You will fill out a simple consignment contract which details the auction process and procedure, allocated a consignor number to be used for your first and all subsequent consignments, and be provided with a detailed inventory listing of the items consigned to auction.

We sell all manner of personal property, antiques, collectibles, jewelry, furniture and decorative accessories, ceramics and glass, rugs and artworks, tools and appliances, books and ephemera, stamps, coins and currency, sports equipment, office furniture ­ anything of value. There are however some items that we will not accept for auction, and your consignment will be screened before acceptance.

MORE THAN AN AUCTION, A POWERFUL WAY TO MARKET YOUR REAL ESTATE.

Often when selling a home that was owned by parents or an older relative, or a house that has been occupied for decades, there is extra work involved in prepping for sale. This can be one of the most challenging and expensive parts of selling a deceased parents home when you hire a real estate agent.

The house may be quite dated, out dated kitchens, baths, including old wallpaper, decorations, carpet, paint, etc. It may also have damage that has gone unaddressed for a long time.

When selling at auction, we take the stress and the pressure off of you.

  1.  The seller and auction firm mutually agree that the real estate will not sell unless or until an undisclosed reserve price is met or realized.  Quite simply, if the auction price does not meet or exceed the reserve price, the property does not sell without you, the sellers permission.

  2. The Property will be sold Subject to Seller’s Confirmation, only if high bid is less than the agreed upon reserve.  This means that after the High Bid  has been received and acknowledged by Auctioneer, Seller may determine, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to (i) accept such bid or (ii) reject such bid.

  3. You pay 0% commission to sell your real estate. We offer a free in home consultation to discuss the evaluation and pre-sale management of your real estate. There will be a one time nominal marketing fee to list your real estate on MLS and other real estate sites as well as target marketing toward qualified buyers.

  4. We also work with several Real Estate Agents / Firms to help sell your real estate and we pay them their commission, not you!

  5. We are committed to providing targeted and aggressive advertising and marketing campaigns when listing properties. We give you the best of both worlds by listing your real estate at  auction and by traditional listings.

  6. Auction properties STAND OUT in the marketplace.

  7. Auction marketing frequently forces a sale prior to the auction.

  8. The property gets sold on your timetable

  9. The property is sold as is, without warranty or contingencies.

  10. The seller is able to sell the property at market value as determined through the public auction process with many potential buyers at one time, not by private negotiation with a single interested party. All offers are received at the same time.

  11. Your property is extensively marketed

  12. Sellers choose when their home will sell.

Client Registration and Opening Bid Agreement

Real Estate

Real Estate Services:

Dixon's Real Estate division is a full service Real Estate Company.

  1. Real estate is marketed to obtain the highest value.
  2. An individual analysis is conducted to determine if a private listing or a real estate auction will be the most beneficial for the seller.
  3. A comparative market analysis is conducted to establish the value in a targeted area.
  4. A seller may also want to provide a home owner's warranty to better market their home.

Dixon's Real Estate division has real estate brokers who will obtain all state-required disclosures, placement of signage and advertising, order preliminary title search to assure clean transfer of title, conduct showings and open houses, execute purchase agreement and other required documents, coordinate and assist with closing procedures.

Real Estate Auctions:

A real estate auction is an open forum, which allows for oral bidding. After the bidding is exhausted, the property may be declared sold. The buyer and the seller will complete a purchase agreement and follow the necessary steps to closing. The property is sold as-is.

Reserve Auction: Property sells with the owner's confirmation. The minimum or reserve amount is not disclosed to the public. When the bidding is exhausted, the auctioneer will take a short recess to discuss confirmation with the seller.

Absolute Auction: Property is sold to the highest bidder, regardless of price. This is an excellent marketing tool in selling property.

There are many advantages to selling your home by auction:

  1. Eliminates long term expenses, such as taxes, maintenance, and insurance.
  2. The competition of live bidding will realize the property's true market value.
  3. Asking price is eliminated to avoid overpricing property. Overpricing may create little or no interest in the property and will eventually sell for less than the property is worth.
  4. Fast sale of property versus months or years of waiting to sell through traditional listing.
  5. Auction forum creates motivated buyers to act quickly, creating a sense of urgency.
  6. Cash transactions may close within one week after auction.
  7. Marketing is targeted to seller's property, not multiple listings.
  8. Property sells AS-IS, therefore, no negotiations on repairs or inspections.
  9. Conditions of sale are given prior to the auction allowing no negotiation on terms or no contingencies from potential buyers during auction.
  10. Buyer's premium helps offset seller's cost of selling home.

Broker Participation: Dixon's Real Estate division encourages all real estate agents to participate in the auction process. We offer compensation to agents who represent a buyer in the transaction. Dixon's Real Estate division also co-ops with other agents from different offices to assist with their real estate auction needs.
