3 Reasons to Choose J. P. King for Your Real Estate Auction

1.Cost-Efficient Strategies to Minimize Fees

J. P. King uses several strategies to minimize costs and fees for our sellers. Many other real estate auction firms require their sellers to pay additional commission percentages by listing their properties with real estate brokers.

At J. P. King, we don’t require our sellers to have a broker, which means our clients are able to list their properties with J P King without incurring those additional fees. Since J. P. King has worked in all 50 states, we maintain Broker licenses or work with licensed affiliates to make sure your property is listed in compliance with correct license law, but without the unnecessary fees that can come with requiring brokers.

2.Effective Marketing Campaigns for Every Budget   

J. P. King doesn’t just save you costs by minimizing fees. We also make sure you get the most bang for your buck by providing comprehensive marketing campaigns fit for every budget.

When you list a property with J. P. King, we leverage our expertise from over a century in this industry through our marketing department to create an effective marketing campaign custom crafted to fit every seller’s individual budget.

Our commission is paid by the buyer, which means we have aligned interests to get our sellers the best possible price. This allows us to help you invest in a highly comprehensive marketing plan designed to get the most qualified and motivated buyers and attract them to your auction. Each marketing plan is produced on an individual basis and caters to each client’s specific needs.

3.Generational Track Record & Legacy of Client Success

J. P. King was founded in 1915 by J. P. King, Sr., and has been owned and operated by members of the King family since the firm’s inception. As a generational company, we have a long-term vision when it comes to operating with integrity and generating success for our clients. Unlike “churn and burn” volume auction companies who rely on a large number of transactions to generate profit, at J.P. King we are selective in the properties we represent. That’s why we only take on properties that we feel we can be successful with for our clients.

As our president and CEO, Craig King states: “We believe you’re only as good as your last successful auction. Maintaining our enduring legacy of integrity and success is critical, and has resulted in the high level of customer service we offer to our buyers and sellers.”
