The Benefits of Boutique Auctions

Recently, we announced a new service to our lineup, Boutique Auctions, which revolutionizes the way we’re able to serve our clients. But what exactly is a Boutique Auction and what are some of the advantages of choosing this over an in-home auction? No two clients are alike, and while one client may be interested in clearing out their house, in favor of downsizing into a smaller condo, others may just want to get rid of a few items to make their home work better for them. Either way, we’re able to help these clients. If you’re interested in learning more about our newest service, tune in. Here are some of the benefits of Boutique Auctions.

Perfect for a Small List of Items

Like we mentioned above, some clients may not have many items they’re looking to sell, which is where Boutique Auctions come in to save the day. From a few pieces of furniture to collectibles, vintage items and home décor, if you have a small list of items you’re looking to clear out from the home, a large in-home auction may not work for you. Instead, your items are taken to a showroom space, staged and then sold through our professional online auction services.

Ideal for Unique Situations

Sometimes, the timeline of your move just doesn’t work for an online auction from the home. You may have sold your home faster than you envisioned and you need to start focusing on packing up your things and moving. This is where a Boutique Auction can come to the rescue, as you’re able to separate the items that you wish to sell and have our team take them away to our showroom facility, so all you have to do is focus on your move.

In some instances, the location simply won’t work for a regular auction. For example, you may be undergoing heavy remodeling, which makes it impossible for buyers to come into your home and claim their items. A Boutique Auction makes it easy for winning bidders to pick up their items in a safe environment, so that you’re able to sell your items without encroaching on your home’s construction process.

Staged to Sell

Another big benefit of Boutique Auctions is the way in which the items are sold. Our showroom space provides the perfect backdrop to stage your items, so that they appeal to area buyers. You can expect the following to enhance the appeal of your items:

·         Sorting and cataloging items accordingly

·         Showcasing them from multiple angles

·         Providing a detailed description about each item

·         Marketing these items to a vast database of buyers

·         Managing all payments and working with bidders to finalize your auction

Like an in-home online auction, your Boutique Auction will be run by a licensed auctioneer, which allows you to have the peace of mind that your items are in good hands. If you’re in a unique situation where you need to get rid of a handful of quality items or your timeline or location doesn’t work for a traditional auction from the home, Boutique Auctions may just be the perfect way to find new homes for some of your treasured belongings.
