Auctions are one of the fastest and most exciting methods of buying and selling real estate in Australia. They bring interested buyers together in a crowded and noisy environment where they call out the price they are willing to pay for a particular property. The sale is facilitated by a licensed auctioneer and once all genuine bids have been made the fall of the hammer confirms the sale has been completed.
