Below is the list of services associated with public auction sales:

Auction Proposals

Van Horn Auction Group will, at no cost to our client, inspect the certain premises and evaluate the assets required for auction. A proposal letter will be sent to the client with the evaluation as well as the expenses required to conduct a successful public auction sale. All expenses will be incurred by Van Horn Auction Group and be re-paid from the gross proceeds of sale. There are NO out of pocket expenses required unless otherwise agreed upon.

Contractual Agreements

Van Horn Auction Group will provide a written contract which fully states the intentions of both parties and the services provided and/or not provided. These contracts are signed by both parties, establishing a working agreement between the two or more parties involved. View a sample written contract here.

Marketing & Advertising Campaign

Van Horn Auction Group will develop and create an auction brochure to be circulated to the certain demographical areas needed to fully expose the auction sale, and in a collaborative effort with the seller, will establish and maintain a target market and/or group for a proper mailing list. All brochures will be proofed and signed by the seller and Van Horn Auction Group will print, handle, post and mail these brochures to their target markets. View a sample television ad here.
