Going. Going.
Sold.

Constantly. Executors, administrators, trustees, and their attorneys are the core of our court work. We have sold through the Richland County Common Pleas Court, the Seneca County Probate Court, and for estates across Northwest Ohio, with certified legal advertising, documented bidder records, and settlement paperwork prepared for the case file. One call and your office gets a single point of contact for valuation, sale, and documentation: Bill Jones, Ohio broker BRKP.2015004424 and auctioneer 2006000016, and Mike Homan, auctioneer 2014000122, operating through BK Jones Ventures, LLC, Ohio auction license 2016000153.

Yes, as a broker price opinion. To be clear: we are licensed real estate brokers and auctioneers, not licensed appraisers, and we never present a BPO as a certified appraisal. What we provide is a documented opinion of market value from the people who actually sell this property at open market: homes, farm ground, acreage, wooded and building lots, and commercial buildings. Courts, attorneys, and lenders across Northwest Ohio use broker price opinions for probate inventories, trust administration, inheritance splits, and divorce settlements, and when a certified appraisal is required we work alongside the appraiser your court or county designates.

A broker price opinion is a written estimate of what a property would bring on the market, prepared by a licensed real estate broker from comparable sales, condition, and local demand. Attorneys and banks order BPOs when they need a defensible number quickly: probate filings, estate planning, divorce mediation, or a lender deciding what to do with a repossessed property. It is faster and less expensive than a certified appraisal, and for many court and lender purposes it is exactly what is needed.

Often it is the cleanest answer in the building. When parties cannot agree on a price, open competitive bidding sets it for them: a neutral process, a date certain, every bid visible, and a documented result neither side can second-guess. We have handled sales with many heirs and sellers who agreed on little except the auction date, and our settlement records show every dollar.

Yes. We have sold and valued bank-owned and repossessed real estate and equipment for lenders, including REO auctions and broker price opinions that help a lender decide whether to hold, list, or sell at auction. Clean title work, as-is terms, and fast, documented closings.

Real estate of every kind: residential homes, farm ground and tillable acreage, wooded lots, building lots, commercial and retail property. And everything that goes with it: farm equipment and machinery, trucks and trailers, shop tools, and personal property, including collections of guns, coins, knives, and tools. Firearms are sold in compliance with federal and Ohio law. If it has value and a buyer, we can catalog it, market it, and sell it.

Both. BK Jones Ventures calls the auctions, and behind every real estate sale stands RE/MAX Unlimited Results Realty, a full-service real estate brokerage with offices in Tiffin and Findlay, Ohio. The same licensed team lists and sells residential homes, commercial real estate, vacant land, commercial land, agricultural land, investment properties, and multi-unit buildings the traditional way. If auction is not the right tool for your property, we will say so and list it instead. Find the brokerage at unlimitedresultsrealty.com.

At an absolute auction, the property sells to the highest bidder no matter the price. At an auction with reserve, the seller sets a confidential minimum and confirms the final bid. Absolute sales typically draw more bidders because the outcome is certain; reserve sales protect a seller who cannot go below a number. We will recommend the right method for your situation.

Our catalogs run on HiBid at bkjonesventures.hibid.com. Create a free HiBid account, register for the auction, and bid from any phone or computer. Most of our online auctions use a soft close: if someone bids in the final minutes, the lot extends so everyone gets a fair last look.

A buyer's premium is a percentage added to the hammer price to arrive at the final purchase price. It is stated plainly in each auction's terms before you bid. For example, a 10% premium on a $100 winning bid means the buyer pays $110.

A simulcast auction runs live and online at the same time. The auctioneer calls the sale to the crowd on site while internet bidders compete in real time through HiBid. Sellers get both audiences; bidders choose whichever way they like to bid.

Yes. Estate and probate work is a core service: real estate, household contents, vehicles, equipment, and collections, coordinated with the executor and the attorney, with documentation suitable for the court file. We can also provide appraisals when the estate needs values before a sale decision is made.

Yes. Homes, land, farms, and commercial property sell on a date certain, as-is, with no financing contingencies and a non-refundable deposit from the winning bidder. Real estate auctions are offered through Unlimited Results Realty, Tiffin and Findlay, Ohio.

Nothing, and there is no obligation. We walk the property or the collection, talk through auction versus other options, and put a plan with dates and commission in writing. You decide from there.
