A short introductory video to our successful Auction Process, Model, and our Goals.

Attend our Upcoming Auctions

AUCTIONS are ancient, and yet still surrounded by stigma. However, many of us need to sell, make and receive offers on Real Property. So, instead of letting your home languish on the market 'For Sale' - with all the associated carrying costs and headaches - bring it to AUCTION and recieve a no contingencies OFFER from a motivated buyer with a 5% escrow deposit the day of the auction.

The Adkins Florida Group of Keller Williams on the Water - in partnership with ARES - offers you the opportunity to AMP your property and sell it in 30-days or less for your price and your price only!

We have closed over 500 Real Estate Auctions over the last 4 years in Clearwater, Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee and Sarasota Counties. And we average a 72% close ratio, one of the highest in the industry!

A video of a the highly anticpated Auction held in Dec 2010.  Buyers were attracted from 6 states and we fielded hundreds of calls about this Listing. The buyers came out of the woodwork and off the fence to Bid On-Line at www.ARESAuctions.com and Live - On-Site.

 TESTIMONIALS --- What Home Owners Are Saying About AMP®, ALS, ARES, & the Adkins Florida Group:

“ At first I was skeptical of auctions, but with the reserve I felt comfortable that I had control of the sale.
In the end, it was amazing to watch 40 buyers compete for my property with just 30 days of marketing.
The final bids were even higher than the last sales in my neighborhood ”

“ We had employed the traditional methods of marketing the property, but we needed just a little
something different, and with AMP our property became different than all the other properties on the market.
We could even compete with short sales."

“ I was trying to work with my lender on a short sale, but the buyer canceled the contract and
the bank only gave me 30 days to get another buyer. In just 9 days of AMP marketing, I had another
contract for more than the first one and the bank accepted!.”

 “ I was just sitting waiting for an offer. We had plenty of showings and people said they loved our home.
But until we employed AMP, we were at the mercy of the market.”
