The Advantages of Selling Your Property in the Spring

Real Estate Agent in Woodward, OK

Spring is a special time of year. The birds start to come out, flowers begin to bloom, and we gain an extra hour to enjoy the increasing amounts of sunshine. In the real estate world though, spring brings more than just chirping birds and colorful flowers. The season of growth also brings a rush of buyers and sellers to the market!

In fact, spring is typically considered the busiest season in real estate, making it one of the best times to list your property. How can you benefit from a spring sale? Let’s take a look!

The demand to buy is high.

After a long and dreary winter cooped up inside, buyers are eager to get out and start house hunting by the time spring rolls around. The longer days and warm, fresh weather are the perfect combination to energize hopeful homeowners and sustain them through their search. Not to mention, many of them have tax refunds and holiday bonuses still burning a hole in their wallets, making them feel even more prepared to take the plunge.

Buyers want to close quickly.

One of the reasons the real estate market typically sees a wave of buyers in the spring is because a majority of people want to close before summer gets too far underway. Not many buyers want to spend their summer touring property after property in the grueling heat, especially in the south or Midwest. They’d rather spend summer days getting settled and relaxing in their new home. This is particularly true for families, who want to get their kids acclimated before the new school year begins.

You’ll probably sell for more money.

As we’ve established, spring buyers are primarily fueled by the vitality of the season, as well as the desire to be moved in by the end of summer. These two factors will motivate interested parties to make an offer on a property they like quickly, fostering greater competition. The race to make a spring sale is, therefore, very likely to lead to a bidding war that drives up offers and gives you a good chance of walking away with more money than you would any other time of year.

If you’re looking to get in on the real estate market action this spring, get in touch with Smith & Co Auction & Realty! With over 60 years of combined experience selling properties in Northwest Oklahoma and Kansas, nobody is more qualified to sell your home or help you find a new one than our team of licensed real estate professionals.

Consider These 3 Factors When Choosing a Location for Your Business

Commercial Property Auctions & Listings in Oklahoma

When you decide to open your own business, there are many more important decisions to follow that will play a big role in whether or not you are successful. One of most consequential of those decisions is going to be your location.

Aside from obvious factors like cost and size, there are many other considerations you’ll need to make when choosing a property for your business. Let’s take a look at which ones are going to have the biggest impact on your company’s growth and success.

1) Accessibility

If it’s hard for people to physically get to your business, they’re far less likely to make the effort to go. Your building, therefore, must be easily accessible to customers, employees, and vendors for deliveries. Look for locations near major roads and highways (that are easier to turn into) and with ample parking.

2) Foot Traffic

When choosing a commercial location, think about what level of foot traffic will be ideal for your business. For example, if you’re in the retail or restaurant industries, you want to be in an area with higher foot traffic. This will boost your exposure and expand your reach to potential customers. However, if you’re establishing an administrative office, law or medical practice, or other business that prioritizes confidentiality or a quiet environment, you may want to limit your search to lower traffic areas.

3) Competition

Your physical proximity to other businesses will have a significant effect on the demographics of area foot traffic and how successful you are within them. You want to avoid properties surrounded by businesses that are competing with you in the same market. Unless you have something especially unique that will make you stand out, too much nearby competition gives potential customers too many chances not to choose you.

Proximity to certain other types of businesses, however, can be mutually beneficial. For example, opening a restaurant near a movie theater is likely to attract more people to your location and drive more business to both of you (who doesn’t love dinner and a movie?).

Are you still searching for the perfect property to establish your business in Oklahoma or Kansas? Smith & Co. Auction & Realty can help!

We are constantly running auctions for commercial properties in prime locations that are ripe and ready for you to transform. We also have a team of licensed real estate agents who are more than qualified and willing to help you find the right commercial property to fit your business needs in your desired locale.

How To Price Your Vacant Land for Sale

Land Auctions & Real Estate Agents in Northwest OK

There are a lot of different factors that come into play when pricing a residential or commercial property for the real estate market. Some of the first things you’d consider are the size and features of the property, the physical condition of the building, recent improvements and upgrades, etc.

But what about when there’s no house or business space to look at? How do you determine the value of a piece of land with nothing on it to gauge its worth? Smith & Co’s land real estate experts have a few helpful tips to get you started in the right direction!

Look at zoning restrictions.

The more opportunities your land has to offer potential buyers, the greater value it’s going to hold on the market. Find out what zoning restrictions and other government regulations apply to your land. Can it be developed for residential use? Commercial use? Is it good for farming/livestock raising/agriculture? Are there natural resource mining opportunities? Use this information to help you determine the price.

Survey the local market.

The market conditions in your area will play a considerable role in what buyers are willing to pay for your land. If there are a lot of similar properties around you, for example, yours may not be worth as much. On the other hand, if your land has something unique to offer, it could go for much higher than other listings. The total of available inventory will factor in as well. Or, in other words, whether it’s a buyer’s or seller’s market.

Get your land appraised.

A professional land appraiser will know exactly which factors matter in determining the value of your property and be able to gather the information necessary to evaluate them. They will consider factors such as land features (roadway access, natural resource availability, zoning regulations mentioned above), location, topography, size, and more. If possible, it’s a good idea to get multiple appraisals before settling on a final price.

Smith & Co Auction & Realty has successfully sold and auctioned off thousands of acres of land throughout Northwest Oklahoma and Kansas over the past 30+ years. With our decades of experience and extensive network of local resources, we can make sure your tract sells for top dollar.

Advice for Aspiring Farmers: The Most Important Things to Keep in Mind as You Get Started

Farm Land & Equipment Auctions in Woodward, OK

There’s a lot to love about life on the farm—the simplicity, the beauty of nature, the satisfaction of being able to put food on someone’s table. But when you’re the one who’s running the operation, things get a little more complicated.

It takes a lot of hard work to build a farming business from the ground up (literally). With dedication, a well-thought-out plan, and the right resources though, your dream of owning a farm isn’t too far out of reach. As you’re getting started, here are a few pieces of advice to guide you toward success!

1) Come up with a plan before you make any purchases.

Like we said, you need a strategic and well-researched plan if you’re going to make it as a farmer. Before you start looking for land or buying equipment, conduct extensive research about the local market to determine where the demand is and what you’ll need to get your foot in that door. Speaking to other local farmers is a great place to start to learn about market conditions and collect experienced advice about running a farm.

2) Track your money closely.

Don’t forget—farming is a business. It’s very important that you keep track of and manage your income, business expenses (both upfront and ongoing costs), tax regulations, and other financial information if you want to stay afloat. Keeping records like this will help you see which markets and months of the year tend to yield the most profit, allowing you to better refine your operation.

3) Be smart about buying equipment.

There’s no getting around the fact that you’ll need to make a hefty investment in farm equipment before you get started. The tricky part is to procure what you need without going overboard and putting yourself in the hole when you’re not yet turning a profit. Before you buy anything, you must first determine which pieces are essential for your operation, which can wait, and where you can compromise on quality (considering cost vs. benefit).

Are you trying to start a farming business in the great states of Oklahoma or Kansas? Smith & Co Auction & Realty can save you some headache…and some money! The sale of farmland and farm equipment is one of our specialties. All you have to do is follow our auction circuit to snag land and machinery for incredible prices.

Get in touch with us online or at 580-254-3975 today to start the search for the farmland of your dreams!

3 Tips to Help You Sell Your Home During the Holidays

Real Estate Agency in Woodward, OK

Putting your house up for sale during the holiday season may seem like a crazy concept, but it happens more often than you might think. Although it’s not ideal timing, selling at this time of year does offer certain advantages—less competition on the market and a more serious buyer pool to name a few. If you find yourself needing to close a holiday home sale, use these tips below to help streamline the process!

1) Hold back on the holiday decorations.

Overdone holiday décor will obscure and distract from your home’s best features. If your house is on the market during the holidays, skip the inflatable Santa and nutcracker collection this year and opt for a few tasteful holiday accents instead. Garland hanging by the fireplace, a wreath on the front door, a few holiday candles burning, and similarly subtle touches will be enough to capture the warmth and spirit of the holidays without overwhelming.

2) Target motivated buyers.

Work with your real estate agent to find buyers with a deadline, as these will be the people looking to close a deal as quickly as you are. Seek out prospective buyers who are relocating for a job, investors who want to make tax deadlines, and others operating on a tight schedule. You may even want to consider putting your house up for auction, where you’ll have direct access to a larger group of motivated and prequalified buyers.

3) Make your space feel warm and cozy.

Holiday home buyers are focused on finding a house where they can see themselves curling up and hunkering down for the winter. Your job is to make sure your space radiates warmth and comfort that makes them want to stay awhile (or forever!). To get things cozy for showings, turn on all the lights, set the heat to a comfortable temperature, get a crackling fire going if you have a fireplace, and use diffusers or candles to fill the air with inviting holiday scents.

Whether it’s the dead of winter or the height of summer, Smith & Co Auction & Realty is committed to making the sale of your home go as smoothly as possible. Our agents are experienced, well-connected, and experts on the local market who are willing to go above and beyond to understand and meet your needs.

An FAQ On Online Auction Bidding

Online Auctions in Woodward, OK

Internet and smartphone technology have truly revolutionized different industries far and wide—and the auction industry is no exception. Virtual auctions and mobile apps make it easy for bidders and buyers to connect quickly and from the comfort of their own homes. Here at Smith & Co Auction & Realty, we like to make it as simple as possible for our sellers to sell and our buyers to bid. In addition to the traditional live auctions we hold throughout the year, we also host online auctions and give interested buyers the opportunity to bid in both live and online-only auctions right at their fingertips.

Bidding is made easy through our mobile app and straightforward online platform, but for first-time online auction participants the process can be confusing. That’s why we’ve put together a step-by-step rundown explaining how to register for an online auction, put in a bid, and optimize your virtual auction experience!

Types of online auctions:

We hold two types of auctions in which you can bid online. The first is a Simulcast Auction. This is a combination of a live and Internet auction. It’s a live, on-site auction with in-person bidders AND the availability to bid online during the live auction from your computer, phone, or tablet.

The second type of virtual auction experience we offer is an Online Only Auction. This is an auction that is held exclusively online with no live in-person bidding available.

We highly recommend that you DO NOT wait until the last minute to register to bid. While you may wait to place your bid at a later time, by registering in advance you can rest assured knowing that you understand the bidding tools. It is important that you familiarize yourself with all the terms and conditions BEFORE BIDDING.  The terms of sale are non-negotiable.

Why do you need my credit card information?

Just like with a live auction, we must verify that you have funds available to make a purchase. Your credit card information is kept secure; we do not share this information. We will run an authorization charge of $1.00. Once the credit card company has approved this authorization, the $1.00 is refunded back to your card and you will be granted permission to begin bidding. In the event that you are a winning bidder, we will charge purchased items to the credit card on file.

How do I bid?

Once you have completed the registration process and have your secure bidder number and password, select the auction you wish to bid on. Click the large button that says “Click Here to Bid Now.” Once the new page has opened you may type in your bid amount to place and, if you would like, a maximum bid amount. Then, scroll down to type in your bidder number and password. Click “Submit Bids.”

Please carefully review that the information you have entered for accuracy before submitting bids. Once you submit the bid, the bid cannot be canceled and is binding.

Do I have to pay any fees to participate in an online auction?

No, you are not charged any fees to participate. However, to register to bid, you will have to provide credit card information so we can run the listed authorization amount of $1.00.

Do I need to register for each online auction?

No. Once you have registered with us your account will remain active. You will only need to log in with your username and password that was created during the registration process. Terms will vary with each auction though, so when bidding in a new one you will have to accept the terms and conditions for that particular auction.

How do I know if I am winning a lot?

When viewing the online auction, you will see your name at the top of the form. Hover over your name and a drop down menu will appear. Click on the current bids and you can see the status of your current bids.

What if I get outbid just before the lot closes?

Most of our online only auctions are set to “soft close.” This means that if someone bids in the last 2 minutes before the item closes the bidding will be extended by 2 minutes so you will be have additional time to place another competing bid.  This mimics a live auction setting. 

*Note: You have to be viewing the auction item as it is closing to notice this.

What is a maximum bid?

By placing your maximum bid, the system will automatically place bid increments for you in predetermined amounts (as explained in the auction terms). This will increase your bid if your original bid is topped by another bidder. The maximum bid feature speeds up the auction process and assists you with your bidding. If another bidder bids higher than your maximum bid, the system will stop increasing your bids and you will have to increase your maximum bid amount in order to continue competitive bidding.

Can I cancel an unwanted bid?

No, bids cannot be cancelled once they have been placed. By placing a bid you are entering into a binding contract. There are no refunds or bid cancellations. The registered bidder is personally responsible—legally and financially—for all auction items bid upon, whether representing one’s self or acting as an agent.

An online bid accepted at public auction is a legal and binding contract to purchase. Any bidder who fails to consummate a purchase will be banned from bidding at all future seller auction events and may be pursued for civil and/or criminal violations.

How do I know if I won a lot after it has closed?

You will most likely see a notification ‘may have won’.  This is because the software has to process all bids before confirming ‘sold’.  Once all items have closed and the online auction has ended, you will receive an email from Smith & Company Auction & Realty, Inc. that will confirm items won and a paid receipt. 

*Note: This email is typically received 1-2 hours following the close of the auction.

What if I cannot bid online?

Please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you through the bidding process. 

Can I inspect real estate/personal property prior to bidding?

Yes! We offer preview days for all of our personal property auctions.  If you wish to preview real estate, Ira Smith is happy to assist you and can be reached at 580-334-6001.

What is the buyer’s premium?

A buyer’s premium is a percentage paid by the buyer to the auction company on top of the winning price. While some auction companies charge upwards of 15%, at Smith & Company we try not to gouge you for purchasing at our auctions. Our buyer’s premium is 3% for personal property. We never charge a buyer’s premium for real estate!

If you are interested in bidding in one of our auctions, online or otherwise, please visit our upcoming auctions page for updates. If you have any questions about online or mobile auction bidding, contact the Smith & Co Auction & Realty team today and we will be happy to help!

Why You Should Consider A Business Liquidation Auction Instead of a Sale

Auction Company in Woodward, OK

Whether you’ve decided to close for good, need some extra cash to help you through a tough time, or simply have excess equipment and inventory you’d like to get off your hands, liquidating your business assets can be a constructive solution for many companies.

When you need to recover your company assets, your first thought will probably be to have a liquidation sale. While this is certainly one option, you may find that a liquidation auction is more advantageous for your situation. Let’s take a look at how a business liquidation auction may be more beneficial for your company than a liquidation sale!

Sell your items quickly.

It can take several months, or even years, to recover the value of your business assets through a liquidation sale. If you’re closing your business or your company is struggling and you’re trying to liquidate to help offset debts, you don’t have time to search for buyers and review offers. If you choose to auction your items, on the other hand, your auction company will know how to price and market your assets to guarantee a bid and have them sold in a day.

Competition will drive up prices.

Auction companies implement widespread and effective marketing measures to generate a big crowd on auction day. They’ll use their extensive network to target the right audience and attract the buyers who are most likely to be interested in your items. Therefore, when you liquidate by auction, it fosters greater competition for your assets that often leads to a higher sale price.

Online auctions give your assets even more opportunity to sell.

Online auctioning tools, such as mobile apps, virtual bidding, and livestream auctions, open up your liquidation to the entire country or even world. Unless you’re prepared to do the work of marketing, reviewing offers, and arranging delivery to online buyers yourself, a liquidation sale does not afford you that same opportunity. Opening your auction to online bidders is another way to create competition to drive up the price. Plus, when you liquidate through an auction company, they’ll handle the details of marketing, sale, and delivery.

At Smith & Co Auction & Realty, we use a high-quality marketing program and our extensive mail list to get the best turnout and final price for sellers at every auction. If you’re liquidating your business assets, we can help auction your machinery, inventory, commercial building, and other capital to sell at or above market value.

Tips for First-Time Commercial Real Estate Investors

Commercial Real Estate Agent in Woodward, OK

Any kind of real estate that will be used to run a business or generate profits is considered commercial property. This can include empty buildings, buildings with businesses already in them, rental properties, and land which you plan to use for profit. Commercial property can be a lucrative investment if you take the time to do your research, find the best real estate, and use it wisely.

If you’re thinking about taking the leap into the world of commercial real estate ownership, here are some tips to help you make the right investment!

Start by identifying the needs and goals of your business.

If you don’t know what you want to accomplish with your property, you won’t be able to determine which properties on the market will best fulfill your needs. Before you even begin your search, sit down and answer some fundamental questions about your business and the characteristics of your ideal property. Here are a few questions to get you started:

  • What are you planning to do with your property?
  • What type of property will work best for your business? Retail shop? Office complex? Warehouse? Rental units?
  • How much can you afford to put down? What can you afford in terms of maintenance and utility costs?
  • What location will be ideal for your business?

Work with a team of experts to find the right property.

Especially if you’re new to commercial real estate investment, it’s important that you partner with other professionals to help evaluate properties and, eventually, acquire one. Look into hiring a commercial real estate agent, broker, inspector, appraiser, attorney, and possibly even an accountant. At this time, you’ll also want to start working with a financer—a bank, credit union, private mortgage company, etc.—to explore your financing options and determine exactly how much money you’ll have to work with.

Do your due diligence before closing the deal.

Real estate of any kind is a big investment, so it’s important that you do your “due diligence” before making anything official. This essentially means learning everything you can about the property and ensuring everything with your contract is in order before signing.

For a commercial property, you’ll want to order an ATLA (American Land Title Association) survey to give you history and detailed information on the property and its relevant surroundings. Then, you should run the numbers (this is where an accountant comes in handy) to analyze risk/reward potential. Finally, have a commercial real estate lawyer look over your deal before you sign to make sure everything is correct and fair to you.

At Smith & Co. Auction & Realty, we have commercial real estate agents ready and willing to work with you every step of the way to find your perfect commercial property in Woodward, Oklahoma. Looking to streamline your sale? We also hold commercial real estate auctions with incredible properties for amazing deals.

3 Things You Can Do to Sell Your Home Faster

Real Estate Auction Company in Woodward, OK

A new job in a different city; unforeseen financial hardship; a new custom-built house that’s almost move-in ready; there are a lot of reasons you might find yourself in need of a quick home sale. The bad news is, selling a home is an intricate process, which means it can often be lengthy. The good news is, there are a few tricks you can use to streamline that process.

These are a few of the steps you can take if you need your house sold yesterday!

1) Pull out all the staging stops.

If you want a quick sale, your home’s best assets need to be front and center as soon as it hits the market. That means cleaning, decluttering, depersonalizing, and fixing small repairs. Your best bet is to hire a professional to stage your home for maximum market appeal. If you can’t swing it though, start reading up on your DIY tips and get to work!

2) Make sure the price is right.

Did you know that many of the properties that are sitting on the market, unmoving, at any given time all have the same thing in common? They’re overpriced! Work with your agent to price your home competitively. Settle on a number that motivates buyers to jump quickly, fearing they’ll lose out on a good deal.

3) Accommodate as many showings as possible.

The more people that see your property, the greater the chance of a sale in the near future. If you’re trying to sell your home fast, keep your schedule flexible. Try to accommodate every interested buyer, even for last-minute showings if you have to. When you ask someone to request a new time or rearrange their own schedule, they’re more likely to simply pass and move onto the next property that’s just like yours.

For sellers in Woodward, Oklahoma looking to get a property off their hands sooner rather than later, Smith & Co. Auction & Realty is here to help. When you list your home in one of our real estate auctions, you’ll close your sale in a single afternoon and are guaranteed to walk away with the market value or, more likely, even more.
