The
US Auction Group
Method

The initial meeting is set up when you call US Auction Group or make a call directly to one of our auctioneers.
An on-site inspection of your property will be made by our personnel.
Our auctioneers will present you with a written proposal determining your auction date, location, time, advertising costs, auction commission, all auction related expenses, etc.
After the terms in the proposal have been agreed upon, it is legalized with a written agreement that is signed by both the seller and US Auction Group.
The profits from your property will be maximized when backed by a strong advertising and promotional program. This will be implemented at once after the contract is signed.
Site preparation will begin well in advance of your auction so that it will be presented in the best possible condition. Equipment or inventory will also be inspected to determine repairs, cleaning, painting, etc.
If you have equipment or inventory, it will be arranged so that it is shown to its best advantage during inspection.
On auction day, our auctioneers, bid assistants, cashiers and auction clerks will manage the auction and record all transactions.
An important part of the professionalism with which we close our auctions is the fast, accurate and honest manner in which we make our settlements.
Immediately after your auction, our accounting staff begins closing the books and finalizing all paperwork. Within days your check will be delivered to you.
