We auctioned off a home after dad's passing several years ago. My advice is to contact two or three local auctioneers in your area and compare how they structure their commissions, what happens if your reserve isn't met, and if you are including household items in the sale that will require extra setup how they will handle that. The reputation of the auctioneer is a key point. People come to sales of good auctioneers. The last thing you want is a small crowd at your auction. We used the top auctioneer in our area because he draws big crowds to his sales. We came away with what we felt was a fair price in about the middle of the market range at that time. Good Luck!!
