Questions families ask
Own auction or an auction house?＋
Whichever nets the estate more after fees. Platform fees are cheap rent for bidder traffic; thin bidding costs far more in hammer realization.
What about reserves?＋
Lots run no-reserve with low starts unless you sign for a reserve on a specific lot. Your floor is enforced before lotting.
How fast is settlement?＋
Results the night the sale ends; funds within the platform payout window, with a statement per lot.
