Pooling smaller properties allows us at Reck Agri Realty & Auction to market those properties more effectively, thus attracting a wider audience of potential buyers both locally and outside the area. This greater exposure increases the likelihood of sales for all properties in the consignment land auction. Not only do buyers have a greater selection of properties from which to choose, but Reck Agri’s bidding format gives the potential buyers multiple opportunities to purchase property.

Prior to the auction, buyers have the chance to inspect the properties and prioritize those in which they are interested. Hereís what one participant had to say, ìThis Consignment Land Auction is an excellent service for the landowners of smaller to midsize properties. It allows them to take advantage of the auction format, with exposure to a larger number of buyers than if their property is offered separately.
