The Marshall Advantage
With a combined 5 generations of auction experience we have earned a stellar reputation for service throughout the Mid-Atlantic Region. From simple appraisals to the purchase of an entire estate, Marshall Auctions has the experience you need.

On-site Auctions
Marshall Auctions conducts complete on-site auctions for real estate, business liquidation, farms, and personal property right at your business or home. Our team of professionals takes care of every detail from evaluating the sale contents to advertising the sale and on through the disbursement of sale proceeds to the appropriate seller(s).

Off-site Auctions
Sometimes it is not to your advantage to have an auction held at your location. In that case we can arrange to have one item or an entire estate picked up and moved promptly to our secure auction facility. The sale of your item(s) would then be held at our 9,000 Sq. Ft. heated facility.

Private Treaty Sales
In situations where an auction is less advantageous or is inappropriate for specific items, we can arrange for the private sale of your property on a consignment basis. We then offer your property through our network of private clientele, collectors, institutions, and prominent dealers.

Out-right Sales
As an expeditious alternative to an estate auction, Marshall's can arrange to purchase the estate outright. We then make all the arrangements for removal of the contents.

Real Estate Auctions
Real estate auctions have been held for decades. Unfortunately, many believe that real estate auctions only take place when a property is being foreclosed on. This is not the case with the majority of our real estate auctions. There are many benefits to selling a property using a qualified Auctioneer. Below are some of those benefits:

  • The seller determines the date and time the property will be sold. Using the auction method, a typical property can be marketed and sold within a 4 to 6 week period.
  • Setting a specific date and time of a sale creates a sense of urgency and forces the prospective buyers to a point of decision.
  • A timely auction allows the the seller to drastically reduce holding costs such as taxes, insurance, and maintenance.
  • An auction arouses the competitive spirit among the prospective bidders.
  • The competitive bidding format of an auction creates confidence among buyers when they see others willing to pay a similar amount for the property.
  • The seller sets the terms of the sale, thereby avoiding lengthy negotiations of price and terms.
  • An advertising program is tailored to the seller's property which will attract the largest number of prospective buyers. This insures a true "Market Value" price for the property on the day of the auction.
  • An auction format means there is no ceiling price on the property giving the best opportunity the sale price to increase freely based on bidder spirit.
  • Historically, when the market is on the upswing, public auctions have established the highest sales prices. Likewise, when the market is declining, an auction will capture the current market price before value drop.

    Benefits to the Seller

  • An auction creates competition among buyers - Auction prices can exceed the price of a negotiated sale.

  • Reduces Long-Term Carrying Costs - A quick sale reduces the long-term carrying costs of the property and additional costs such as insurance & taxes.

  • Pre-qualified Prospects - An auction exposes your property to the largest number of pre-qualified prospects at one time.

  • Eliminates Seller Inconvenience - Our auction services eliminate numerous and unscheduled showings or the property.

    Benefits to the Buyer

  • Fair Competition - Prospective buyers know they are competing fairly and on the same terms as all other bidders.

  • Eliminates Negotiation - Prospective buyers know all conditions of the sale before they bid.

  • Comprehensive Information - prospective buyers receive the same comprehensive information on the property.
