Frequently Asked Questions
In-person auctions involve live bidding with an auctioneer that typically takes place in one day. All bids are final and made out in the open.
Auction Terminology
The sale of an asset in its current state, inclusive of all existing imperfections, without any warranties. It is the responsibility of the buyer to inspect and evaluate the property to their satisfaction prior to bidding.
A formal offer made by a potential buyer indicating the price they are prepared to pay. Bids typically follow standardized price increments as determined by the auctioneer.
A unique identification number assigned to a buyer upon successful registration. This number must be clearly displayed to the auctioneer or clerk immediately after a winning bid.
A bidding method where the high bidder earns the right to select one or more items from a group of similar assets before a new round of bidding begins.
The auction team member responsible for maintaining the official record of the sale, including the description of the item sold, the winning bidder’s number, and the final price.
A formal agreement where a seller (consignor) contracts the auction company to sell their assets for a fee, typically a commission based on a percentage of the final sale price.
The winning bid amount established at the moment the auctioneer’s gavel falls. This does not include the buyer’s premium or applicable taxes.
A designated window of time and a specific location where interested bidders can physically inspect assets to judge their quality and condition before the auction begins.
The confidential minimum amount a seller is willing to accept for an item. If bidding does not reach this threshold, the item will not be sold.

Maximize Your Return with a Real Estate Auction
As the real estate market continues to evolve, auctioning your property is one of the most effective ways to sell your house fast and achieve the highest possible return. Real estate auctions create competition, drive value, and eliminate the uncertainty of waiting months for a traditional sale.
Here’s why auctions work so well:
Speed of Sale – Auctions are designed to sell fast and close quickly—ideal for tight pre-foreclosure timelines.
Competitive Bidding – Multiple buyers bid simultaneously, often driving prices higher than traditional or distressed sales.
As-Is Sale – Homes sell “as-is,” avoiding costly repairs, inspections, or contingencies.
Certainty & Transparency – All bidders see the terms, and the highest bidder wins (subject to seller's confirmation), creating fairness and confidence for all parties.

Our Services
Real Estate
As the real estate market continues to evolve, with properties consistently selling above their listing prices, choosing to auction your property ensures you achieve the highest possible return. Real estate auctions also accelerate the selling process, helping you avoid the uncertainty of having your property sit on the market for months or even years. Specializing in estate sales, we offer comprehensive real estate auction services, along with vehicle auctions and personal property liquidation packages designed to help you efficiently liquidate all your assets. Our services make us your go-to, one-stop solution for all auction needs. With a transparent sales process and the competitive nature of auctions, we eliminate lengthy negotiations and extended closing periods, making the selling experience faster and more efficient.
Business Liquidations
Focusing on our clients' desires to disperse their assets in a timely and economical manner, we offer the options to sell online, live in-person or simultaneously live and online. Our track record speaks volumes, having successfully conducted auctions for a diverse array of clients, including gyms, universities, hotels, restaurants, race tracks, offices, and construction companies, among others.
Vehicles and Fleet Liquidations
With 50+ years of commercial auction experience and locations and partners throughout the country, we are able to sell your vehicle or fleet of vehicles with ease from one of our centralized locations.

Reviews
“I have had the best experience both buying and selling with this auction company!! For several years I have been a bidder both online and live, super excited with my treasures (and tools for my husband)! We've also used this company for an outlet to auction off items and vehicles, either inherited or no longer needed. They were extremely helpful, fair, and honest. I would highly recommend Ken Geyer Auctioneers!!!”

"I can’t praise Mark enough. The sale went through exactly as he promised and the final sale price far exceeded any estimate I had received from real estate agents. I could pick the sale date, he helped clear out two generations of ‘stuff’ that I was financially struggling to manage. Knowledgeable, professional, and efficient. If you have a house to sell, call Geyer Auctions!"

"I was very pleased with the Ken Geyer Auction company. The process went smoothly, and all the people were great to deal with. They made it so easy and efficient! I’d highly recommend them and would be happy to use them again in the future."
- Amy S.
"I have purchased items from other Geyer auctions and have always been pleased with their process and customer focus. This time we were the sellers, downsizing from a home and separate shop with much woodworking equipment, a UTV, and many other items. Geyer did a fantastic job grouping lots, taking photos, and marketing the auction. We were very pleased with the amount received from the auction. I would not hesitate to recommend Geyer Auctions if you are buying or selling."
