RISMEDIA, July 10, 2008-Accelerated Marketing Partners (AMP) reports selling 27 homes for Tribute Lofts in less than two hours at downtown Atlanta’s first residential real estate auction on June 22. The auction marketing event sold 27 one-, one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom homes, and conventional sales for the remaining 49 homes will begin with price points based on the auction sales results.
“Buyers were able to determine the fair market value of homes at Tribute Lofts, which resulted in amazing deals on high-end homes,” said Greg Wohl, partner of The InVision Group, the developer of Tribute Lofts. “Accelerated Marketing Partners helped us achieve our goal, which was to sell multiple homes quickly and to successfully reinvigorate sales velocity.”
The program attracted more than 921 site tours in the three and a half weeks prior to the real estate auction. The 27 residences were auctioned at 1:00 p.m. at the Omni Hotel at CNN Center. All prospective bidders were required to register at the auction information center, which opened May 29, and to inspect homes and present deposits before bidding at the auction.
“The Atlanta real estate market needed a new strategy in order to move inventory, said Jon Gollinger, co-founder and east coast CEO of Accelerated Marketing Partners. “The success of this auction proved that there are still buyers out there; these prospects are just waiting for the right price point and opportunity to make a real estate purchase.”
