AN INTRODUCTION

The classic symbol for Zen is the enso. It is known as the circle of enlightenment. In the sixth century ancient text referred to the way of Zen as a circle of vast space, lacking nothing, and nothing in excess.

At first glance the ancient enso zen symbol appears to be nothing more than a circle. But it’s symbolism refers to the beginning and end of all things, the circle of life, and the connectedness of existence.

Auctions are arguably the most exciting and effective method of selling property.

Auctions are quick and accurate, and are a good choice either for sellers who need to sell urgently or simply wish to conclude a cash sale.

Auctions offer a unique three pronged marketing push allowing for a sale either on the day of auction, before the auction date or directly after auction.

With auctions, sellers are able to set reserve prices, convenient settlement dates and are under no obligation to accept the highest bid at auction.

As reserve prices are not declared, sellers are able to gauge and realize realistic market prices without having to keep their properties on the market for extended periods of time.

Auctions create a sense of urgency amongst qualified buyers as buyers have they have a set time frame within which to act.

Auctions create a competitive environment which is completely transparent to the seller and potential buyers alike.

With auctions all sale agreements are unconditional and no cooling off period applies to buyers.

At property auctions, potential buyers are gathered in one spot. Because bidders have to be able to pay the purchase price upfront, or have their finances pre-arranged, there are no suspensive conditions and other complications. This means that, when the hammer falls, the seller sells and gets the money quickly.

Buyers know exactly who is bidding against them on auction and exactly what the competition is offering.

The auction process is transparent. No one can tell a buyer that there is a higher offer than his, if it is not true.

Sellers at auctions are usually highly motivated. Auction sellers are not merely testing the market - They want to sell.
