Auction Forum Presentations from NAR Conferences

The goal of NAR’s Auction Forum is to educate REALTORS® about the benefits of using auction as a marketing tool for selling and purchasing property. In these forums, REALTORS® learn how to introduce real estate auctions to clients and customers; identify benefits for the seller, buyer and agent; and understand how Realtors® can get involved in auctions.

The presentation and handouts from these forums are valuable resources for helping REALTORS® get started and are available below.
