At Hoffman Auctions, we understand that each asset and each client has unique needs. That’s why we provide flexible auction options, offering live, online-only, and simulcast formats that adapt to your goals. Whether you’re drawn to the excitement of a live event, the broad reach of online sales, or the dual impact of a simulcast, Hoffman Auctions ensures your assets get the exposure they deserve.
Live Auctions: Real-Time Energy and Results
A live auction brings an unmatched energy—the anticipation, the fast-paced bidding, and the thrill of watching assets sell in real-time. For over 23 years, Hoffman Auctions has hosted successful live events across Ohio and beyond, creating dynamic settings where buyers and sellers connect directly.
Why Choose a Live Auction?
- Engagement and Competitive Drive: The excitement of a live auction often drives bids higher, as seen when a recent estate sale resulted in a 25% price boost for a vintage car.
- Immediate Outcomes: Sellers can watch their items sell on the spot, giving them a clear sense of completion.
- Personal Interaction: Live events allow bidders to inspect items firsthand and engage with the auctioneer, adding a layer of trust and transparency.
Live auctions work well for a wide range of assets—from estates and real estate to high-value collectibles and equipment. If you’re seeking a dynamic, interactive format, a live auction may be your ideal choice.
Online-Only Auctions: Expanding Reach and Convenience
For clients looking for convenience and a wider audience, our online-only auctions offer easy access to buyers nationwide. As a member of the Marknet Alliance, Hoffman Auctions markets assets nationwide, ensuring your items are seen by a vast pool of buyers who can bid from anywhere.
Why Choose an Online-Only Auction?
- National Exposure: Online auctions attract bidders from across the country, increasing competition and potentially driving up prices.
- Ease and Accessibility: Buyers can participate from the comfort of their homes, while sellers benefit from an expansive audience.
- Extended Bidding Windows: With longer bidding windows, online auctions allow for strategic bidding, often leading to higher final prices. A recent online auction for antique furniture saw a 30% increase due to extended bidding.
Whether you’re selling real estate in Franklin County, business assets in Columbus, or unique collectibles across Ohio, our online auctions offer unmatched reach and convenience.
Simulcast Auctions: Bridging Live and Online
Our simulcast auctions bring together the best of both worlds, blending live in-person excitement with the reach of online bidding. This hybrid approach allows bidders to participate either on-site or remotely, increasing competition and enhancing the overall experience.
Why Choose a Simulcast Auction?
- Broad Exposure: Simulcast auctions combine the physical presence of live attendees with the accessibility of online participants, maximizing bidding potential.
- Dual Convenience: Buyers can choose how to participate, while sellers benefit from a larger pool of interested parties. Recently, a collector vehicle auction saw significant interest from both local and online bidders, driving up its final sale price.
- Live Action with Online Reach: Simulcast auctions keep the energy of a live event while bringing in additional bidders through online participation.
This format is ideal for high-value or specialty items where maximizing competition is crucial.
