The civilized way to sell fairly for both buyer and seller!
~ We represent a continuing tradition of excellence started by Clive Anderson, Sr. with Clive Anderson Realty and Auction Company in 1947 and closed with Clive Anderson, Jr's retirement in 2008. We are the remaining family and crew of that storied, trusted, and experienced tradition. We are growing, always renewing, and leading with the cutting-edge technology for marketing any kind of real estate, estate sales, and personal property sales. We are the future of real estate sales – incorporating and updating the ancient, time-proven, most effective, and basic means of selling the most expensive things in the world for often the best current competitive prices. This fact has been proven time and again - the “Auction Method” combined with traditional means, like the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) as now technology improves upon it as the "Accelerated Marketing Method," with Online Sales.
~ First, we are all experienced Realtors and members of the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), as well as licensed Auctioneers, all boasting thirty-five, plus years in literally thousands of all types of transactions.
~ The technology of Internet Online Sales – the Auction Method has been refined by technology to a perfect means of buying and selling - pretty much - anything. As above, the most expensive items are sold by the basic Auction Method (see: https://pawnbrokersrodeodrive.com/top-20-most-expensive-fine-assets-ever-sold-at-auction/). What we do is market to create competition. It is just that simple. Further, Online Sales do not carry any negative connotations. Many Internet Auction Sale participants are surprised to find out that they are participating in a “Timed Sale,” an auction sale, as covered under the Auction Section of the Tennessee Code Annotated, requiring specific licensure. Internet auction Sales – the updated Auction Method – has been refined by technology to a perfect means of buying and selling almost anything. What we do is market to create competition. It is just that simple. Further, Internet-based Auctions do not carry the negative connotations of the old auction methods. Many Online Sale participants are surprised to find out that they are participating in a “Timed Sale,” an auction sale, as covered under the Auction Section of the Tennessee Code Annotated, requiring specific licensure to conduct.
~ What do we do? We create immediate, intense competition for what is being sold – often literally in a few days or a week – by placing the property on an online platform where it is easily found on the Internet. If it is real estate, we use the Online Accelerated Marketing Method in conjunction with social media, print media, mailing lists, and the marketing power of the Realtors and the MLS, a combination of which far exceeds just the ordinary MLS Listing alone.
~ We list on the Multiple Listing Service and can presell properties if so desired by the seller.
~ How do Online Sales work? Once properties for sale are uploaded to the Internet Online platform, the bidding is open, and the property is easily found by buyers through simple Internet searches. We also advertise approximately one to two weeks, while the bidding is open, using email, direct mail, social media, print media, and more with a stated date, time, and location certain for the closure of the Online Sale bidding. We are proud to say we have buyers from every State in the United States, plus many Canadian buyers.
~ Our Online Sales are Safe for the seller! Often sellers reserve the right to accept or reject any or all bids or offers. This takes all the pressure off the seller. Bidders bid against each other at higher and higher prices rather than against the seller at lower offers. The seller can take it easy and enjoy watching the bidding climb often beyond any prior list price. If rejected that leaves us with perhaps hundreds of interested buyers to work to produce what the seller wants.
~ Online Sales come in two types:
1) Live and Online Sales where live buyers may attend in-person to inspect the property and bid live, in person, at an “Open House” or watch and bid from wherever they desire on something as simple as a smartphone. Internet cameras are used to broadcast real-time so offsite bidders may watch and bid real-time. These are often used for real estate sales.
2) Online Only Sales where the entire sale is conducted by the Online computer program alone, selling much like eBay. Items are set up in lots to run automatically without human intervention. Competing buyers may end up in “soft closes” allowing items to be set aside in competition as the other items open at the same regular intervals. These sales usually last an hour, more or less, depending on the number of lots, strength of competition, and Online Only Sales tend to create extremely aggressive bidding. Computer or smartphone bidding is required.
~ “As Is” means the property sells in its current condition with no contingencies for post-contract inspections or repairs. Any defects or problems, if known, are disclosed, but it is the responsibility of the bidder to inspect all aspects of the property to their use and complete satisfaction before bidding or bid waiving their right of inspection. No Contingencies – Sell truly “as is” – No hidden expenses – No nasty surprises – No repairs – No renegotiating the contract. Our simple contract closes - the seller gets paid.
~ Create a "highest and best offer sale" anytime, but better because it is transparent and open. Buyers can see the highest bid and can decide to raise theirs until the bidding stops, and then the seller can accept or reject bids and offers! This obtains the highest competitive prices every time, fairly and with no questions, no seller money left on the table, or buyer's hurt feelings.
~ Sell and close for CASH, or terms, in thirty days or less! Yes – really – we do it all the time!
~ BUYER'S PREMIUM: buyer’s premiums are used frequently and mean the buyer pays the commission rather than the seller. Our sellers often pay no commission at all! They do pay for the normal expenses and closing costs of a good deed, title policy, the closing statement, and the sellers prorated part of the taxes and any back taxes. Paying no commission saves sellers thousands of dollars! The Buyer’s Premium is an industry standard. Buyers expect a Buyer's Premium with Live Online and Online-Only Sales.
~ Properties in good condition always sell very well, and extremely fast, far often for much higher prices! Plus, there is a massive internet market of buyers from other states wanting to move and invest here. We have complete access to these buyers other agents do not!
~ One showing: There need be only one "showing," or rather one very tasteful "Open House," allowing buyers to inspect the property - that is all. The seller needs to get the property in showing condition only once, or the seller may decide to preshow the property whenever requested, as is normal with listing sales - that is the seller's decision. Showing it just once, more often than not, enhances the mystique and appeal of the property. Unlike other selling methods showing to one buyer at a time, we want a lot of potential buyers looking at a property at the same time, and the more, the better. It lends to making the property appear more desirable if many are interested.
~ IMPORTANT! currently, there is a massive local and national internet market of buyers craving locally distressed, or even demolition properties, be they residential, income, commercial, farm, and industrial real estate. We can easily reach these buyers, who often number in the hundreds or thousands with our unique licensing and honed to a fine edge marketing. We enjoy selling properties with "deferred maintenance" or those in serious need of repair, and we revel in producing better, premium prices on distressed properties, quickly and fairly.
~ Our Sales are completely transparent and fair to all.No tricks or false promises to buyers or sellers! “We tell it like it is and sell it like it is.” No "wholesale" deceit or deception! "The truth shall set you free," and we operate only using the truth, treating others as we would desire to be treated. We take pride in taking care of the more vulnerable buyers or sellers protecting them from grievous errors.
~ Our process revives, old, "sign-burnt" listings, making them stand out like new!
~ We make any property stand out above all the others! We make buyers notice and generate renewed interest. They suddenly notice your property when before it was but another tree in the woods.
~ We gladly work with other real estate professionals! We can do Online Sales in concert with a Listing Agent culminating in one tasteful Open House.
~ Get this: Agents more often than not make more commission through our process.
~ Contact us: I promise we do not bite! Judge us by our character in person. We love helping both buyers, sellers, and other real estate professionals fairly get the highest competitive prices without wasting the time and expense
Above Photo: The Clive Anderson Realty and Auction Company building and famous animated neon sign circa the 1960s.
I remember this sign from my childhood. There was no interstate so my family, at Christmas time, would drive from Franklin, where I grew up, up Franklin Road (Hwy 31) to the big department stores - Harvey's and Cain Sloan on Church St. and Sears off Lafayette. Our last stop was Phillip's Toy Mart - I loved that store - on 8th Avenue South at the base of Reservoir Hill across the street from the moving neon sign - we have tried to reproduce - and out front the building above. So that sign is always associated with great memories. And, it is the reason I went to work for Clive Anderson, Jr. at Clive Anderson Realty and Auction as a Realtor, and Auctioneer in 1988. I worked there until 2006 when I went to work buying, selling, and transferring real estate at the State of Tennessee. After retiring from the State after ten years, I am back in the tradition, greatly improved by technology!
