From the initial marketing of the property to the final day of auction, Grand Estates' approach to the selling of the home was unique, professional and unprecedented.

I just wanted to write a quick thank you for the great success we had at our auction in Highlands. It was the worst of times for real estate there, but your team created a great turnout of bidders and got it accomplished.

After discussing this house on the telephone with you, we knew we just had to have it. So, we went ahead and bought it sight unseen. To say that it was everything you said it was is an understatement. It is magnificent.

We had marketed the estate for over a year and a half with some of the best realtors in the area and none of them created nearly the amount of interest that Grand Estates Auction Company did.

What a sale! Grand Estates Auction Company came through with flying colors on all they promised. 80 or 90 clients previewed with 27 registered bidders! It was the talk of Lake Norman and had realtors shaking their heads at its success.

We feel most importantly our success was due in large part to your particular auctioning skills and the exceptional sales skills of your staff. Thank you for everything - we are definitely happy sellers.

I want to thank you for making the sale of my home such a success. I was deeply impressed with your skills, marketing and operations of your auction company. As a real estate agent and owner, your auction set a new standard for the Charleston market.

Purchasing the St. Croix property has been one of the most positive experiences I have ever had. My instincts told me that I could trust you and your company and we would readily recommend you to our friends as a great way to buy or sell real estate.

The fact that we had 21 bidders from 12 states on our auction day is a testament to the effectiveness of your marketing, and the fact that the winning bidder bought the house for cash shows your skill in getting buyers to act now!

We are amazed at the number of showings that took place in such a short period of time. No stone was unturned and your marketing strategy was excellent.

Our sale has set a new standard for this area's market and our phone continues to ring with inquiries on how we were able to accomplish such a successful sale. My response has been and continues to be: hire experienced professionals like Grand Estates.

We are still in total shock. We had absolutely no idea our home would sell in the first four days of agreeing to work with Grand Estates Auction Company.

Through high quality marketing, a top-notch sales staff and your great attention to detail, you brought my wish to fruition and amazingly it took less than 60 days from the day I signed up.

The Grand Estates process is by far superior to the more "traditional" approach to real estate sales. GEA attracts potential buyers from around the country and beyond, something we never would have been able to achieve with a traditional listing.

In the end, your marketing and sales efforts paid off with a turnout better than either of us had hoped for, even during a quite difficult economic environment!

The biggest difference between Grand Estates and others is that they wait for something to happen and Grand Estates makes things happen.

Any questions we had along the way were always answered to the fullest by the Grand Estates staff, which only furthered my support and trust in the team. Everyone involved was professional and knowledgeable in representing our property at auction.

From the inception of the auction agreement to the moment our house was sold, you and your staff were magnificent. Grand Estates moves quickly and efficiently, and everyone we dealt with was knowledgeable and informative. In short, you guys are pros.

I recently heard two realtors complaining that the market was down over 65% this season, and to know that you broke the record with the highest sale in 2 years is commendable, but in this market it is amazing.
