If your vision of a property auction is a crazed maelstrom of frantic activity with a guy shouting through a megaphone trying to orchestrate it all, stop and think again. Open Door Auctions would like to introduce you to the OTHER type of property auction, a calm, professional event that more and more people are choosing when it comes time to sell their house. Everybody knows what the old-fashioned real estate market offers. This inadequate way of conducting real estate has been the mode of operation for a long time now and come to be thoroughly (though often secretly) despised by buyers, sellers, and real estate agents alike. For too long this industry has been unaffected by the forces of...

Welcome to Open Door Auctions where our innovative system brings the whole market to your door in just two weeks.

Our innovative methodology differs from traditional real estate companies and benefits you in several ways:

Very short listing agreements – usually just two weeks!  The real estate industry has is dysfunctional.  Both the clients and the agents are getting a bad deal.  Why should you sign a listing agreement for six to twelve months while trying to find a good buyer and a good price?  The client is uncertain whether any offers will come that meet their target price and they have no assurance that the agent will do...

Why wait a year or more to sell your house when you could do it this weekend? At Open Door Auctions, we don’t blame you for being a bit leery of a real estate business model that – let’s be honest – is radically different from what we’ve all grown up believing is the way to sell a property. Back in the early 1900s, more than a few folks thought that Henry Ford’s proposal to drop something called an internal combustion engine inside a rolling metal frame with wheels was about the most asinine idea they’d ever heard. Who would pay good money for such a...

If you think house auctions are only for the distressed, think again. And if the regular output of product from names like high-end auctioneers Sotheby’s and Christie’s doesn’t convince you, consider that historical auctions have been documented from as early as 500 B.C. (long before Mr. Obama and the foreclosure crisis appeared on the world scene). Perhaps the biggest auction in history occurred in 193 AD when the Praetorian Guard, personal bodyguards to the emperor, put the entire Roman Empire up for sale.

Cheeky....

It takes about five hours to fly from Los Angeles to New York, which is the same amount of time it takes Open Door Auctions to sell your house during our innovative one day auction. Even though the old-fashioned real estate industry hasn’t realized it yet, we live in a busy world and sellers don’t always have the time to stand around waiting for an inefficient cat-and-mouse torture game to play out.

Are in the military?
Perhaps no group in America today understands the value of being able to sell your house quickly than those who serve in the military. New orders come in and your life is turned upside down. Unless you want to leave the family behind, you don’t have time to mess with your traditional real estate...
