We would like to announce that David Beach of our Commercial Real Estate division is now also an Auctioneer/Realtor. We will be experimenting with our first Auction on a magnificent historic Bennington home on November 22, 2009 at 1:00 pm. The difference in our auction will be an attempt to present a home that has a very motivated seller who will do everything possible to sell before winter sets in but this is definitely NOT A DISTRESSED SALE and the owner will have the option to refuse all offers.
Just last Sunday we hosted an Open House/Auction Preview and despite the grey and gloomy day here in Bennington, we lit every light in the house, threw open the doors and set an all time record attendance for any open house that we have had in the forty year history of Hoisington Realty.
Sure, there were curious lookers who have always admired this home as well as a few interested buyers, too….it was a wonderful opportunity to renew contacts with old customers and clients and to meet several new people.
We are still finding our that properties in our upper price ranges are challenged and thought we would try this new marketing plan…Stay tuned and please come for the Auction and see a wonderful property located at 210 Elm Street, Bennington, Vermont. This property has already been reduced from $595,000 and is now listed for $395,000. Click here for additional information about this property.
