What you'll receive

A written recommendation, not a sales pitch.

1–2 wks Typical time from request to written recommendation. Urgent situations — estate deadlines, foreclosure sale dates, 1031 exchange windows — can be accelerated when the property review is straightforward.

A property review from Auction Ohio produces a document the seller can hold in hand and discuss with attorneys, family members, or advisors. It isn't a quote scrawled on a business card or a verbal number over the phone. It's a written analysis by a licensed auctioneer familiar with the county, the property type, and the buyer pool that would show up on sale day.

The recommendation covers five things. First, the auction format that fits the property: reserve versus absolute, single-parcel versus multi-tract, live on-site versus online versus hybrid. Second, the expected marketing timeline — most Ohio real estate auctions run a 30-to-60-day marketing window, and the recommendation names a target date range. Third, an expected outcome range grounded in comparable auction results, adjacent sales, and current bidder demand for that property type. Fourth, the commission structure and any expense responsibilities, in writing, before anything is signed. Fifth, next steps if the seller decides to proceed — and an equally clear description of what happens if the seller decides not to.

The review is free because the property review is how Auction Ohio decides whether an auction is the right mechanism for that specific parcel. When a traditional listing serves the seller better, the recommendation says so. That's the point of putting it in writing.

Response and turnaround targets reflect standard property reviews across the Auction Ohio roster. Complex properties — multi-parcel estates, contested titles, mineral-rights considerations — may extend the timeline; sellers are told at the outset if their situation falls into that category.

Common questions

Property review questions, answered.

Questions specific to a property — tenant leases, mineral rights, estate co-ownership, tax basis — are addressed directly during the review conversation with the assigned auctioneer.

Does the property review actually cost nothing?
Yes. The property review, the written recommendation, and any initial site visit are free to the seller. Auction Ohio only earns a commission if the property is auctioned and sells, and the commission structure is disclosed in writing inside the recommendation itself — before the seller signs an auction agreement.
Am I obligated to auction the property after receiving the recommendation?
No. The recommendation is a document the seller keeps and uses however they choose. Some sellers proceed to auction. Some list traditionally after reading the analysis. Some decide the timing isn't right and revisit in a year. All three outcomes are common. There is no commitment until the seller signs an auction agreement.
Who actually conducts the review?
A licensed Ohio auctioneer from the Auction Ohio roster — matched to the property based on county coverage, property type, and specialty. The roster includes 23 auctioneers across farmland, residential, commercial, recreational, and estate specialties. The seller receives the auctioneer's name, license number, and background at first contact.
Do I need to have decided that I want to auction before requesting the review?
No — and that's the point of the review. Many sellers request a valuation while still weighing auction versus traditional listing versus holding the property. The written recommendation is designed to help make that decision, not to pressure it. If the property is a better fit for a traditional listing, the recommendation says so.
What documents help the review move faster?
Anything the seller has readily available: the most recent deed, current lease agreements (if tenant-occupied), prior appraisals, survey or plat maps, tax records, and — for farmland — FSA acreage reports, tile maps, and CAUV documentation. None of these are required to start the review, but each one shortens the timeline when available.
Can I request a specific auctioneer from the roster?
Yes. Sellers who have worked with a particular Auction Ohio auctioneer before, or who have been referred to one by an attorney or advisor, can name that auctioneer in the message field of the form. When county coverage and specialty align, the request is honored. When the property falls outside that auctioneer's regular territory, Auction Ohio suggests the closest specialty fit and explains why.
What if the seller lives out of state?
Out-of-state sellers — often executors of Ohio estates, adult children handling a parent's property, or investors with Ohio holdings — make up a meaningful share of Auction Ohio's roster activity. The property review is conducted by the assigned auctioneer on the ground in Ohio; communication happens by phone, email, and video. The seller does not need to travel to Ohio at any point in the process, including auction day.
How long is the written recommendation valid?
The market context inside the recommendation — expected outcome range, comparable auction results, buyer demand for the property type — reflects conditions at the time of writing. Auction Ohio treats recommendations as current for roughly 90 days. Sellers who revisit an auction decision six or twelve months later can request an updated recommendation at no cost, and it typically turns around faster the second time because the property file is already on record.

The property review is the mechanism Auction Ohio uses to decide whether an auction is the right fit — not a sales pitch designed to force one. The written recommendation is the seller's to keep either way.
