Most people hear the word "auction" and assume one thing:

Something went wrong.

That's not always true.

In this episode, I'm breaking down what an auction actually looks like in real estate today because y'all have been asking, and there's a LOT of confusion out there.

If you're dealing with a house, an estate, or just a whole lot of "stuff" and don't know where to start… this one's for you.

Key takeaways to listen for:

• How auction works vs. traditional real estate
• What a reserve price really means
• Why timing is completely different
• What buyers (and agents) need to know going in
• What I've learned after getting licensed as an auctioneer
