Use an auction to sell a house we just refurbed?

[Scott L.]

Hi, I'm hoping for advice on selling a house via auction - not to someone who will refurb it, as we just did that, but rather to a home buyer.

• Are there particular websites good for offering finished product at auction?
• Has some of you had success with DIY in-person auctions? Are they too risky in terms of who will show up?

The house we've flipped is somewhat unique: modern kitchen, hardwood, open floor plan, 3 floors, shared driveway, smaller bedrooms, small backyard. It's getting some interest from young professionals, as opposed to the families or empty-nesters, but it's further from downtown that some Gen X/Y want. So we're trying to reach as broad an audience as possible... before we hit winter here on the east coast.

Any pointers on auctioning a finished home would be *most* welcome.

Thank you,

Scott
