Buying at Auction

Auctions are rapidly gaining in popularity as a proven method to buy and sell real estate. Auctions generate excitement because of the time-limited aspect of the transactions. They can also provide flexibility to accommodate individual needs. Most importantly THEY WORK.

Virtually all classes of real estate are sold at John Dixon & Associates’ auctions. We routinely offer properties from individuals, financial institutions, trustees, REITs, hedge funds, and major corporations.

We welcome you to read more about JDA and the auction process ... and we look forward to seeing you at an auction soon!
