Over the years, we have adapted to changing markets and embraced innovative techniques, including different types of real estate auctions, cementing our reputation as leaders in the field.
The Thrill of Real Estate Auctions
Real estate auctions are the heartbeat of the real estate world, offering a dynamic alternative to traditional transactions. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or a first-time homebuyer, auctions provide a fast-track to real estate ownership, cutting through red tape and fostering a competitive environment where prospective buyers and sellers converge.
Exploring Auction Formats
At SHERIDANS, we offer a variety of auction formats tailored to meet the diverse needs of our clients:
- Traditional Live Auctions: Time-tested and proven, our live auctions bring together eager buyers with face-to-face bidding. Held at your property, our Cedar Land Event Center, or another nearby location, these auctions offer unrivaled excitement and results.
- Timed Online Auctions: In today’s digital age, convenience is key. Our online auctions allow buyers to bid from the comfort of their homes or offices, ensuring maximum participation and anonymity while still benefiting from the competition among interested bidders.
- Simulcast Live and Online Auctions: For properties like farmland, we recommend simulcast auctions, combining the best of live and online bidding for a seamless experience and the most competitive bidding possible.
- Sealed Bid Auctions: When confidentiality is paramount, our sealed bid auctions offer privacy and control, attracting serious buyers willing to pay a premium.
Choosing Your Auction Method
When selling real estate through an auction, sellers have a few choices within different types of real estate auctions:
- Absolute Auction Method: Guaranteed to sell, regardless of the final bid price, the absolute auction generates maximum excitement and results, driving prices upwards.
- Auction with Reserve Method: With the flexibility to accept or reject bids, sellers retain control and ensure their property sells at a price they are comfortable with.

Understanding the rules of real estate auctions is crucial. From bidder registration to property disclosures, transparency is key. Our team ensures compliance with state regulations, guiding buyers and sellers every step of the way.
