If you own a luxury property, chances are you’ve received a letter, or several, expressing interest in buying your home. These letters may come from individuals, investors, or even real estate agents representing anonymous buyers. While many sellers brush them off or assume they’re just fishing expeditions, these letters are often signals of something much more powerful: competition.
And where there’s competition, there’s opportunity.
At Voyage Auctions, we believe the best time to consider the auction method isn’t after your property has been on the market for months, but instead as a first option for highly desirable properties.
Receiving one letter might be a coincidence. But receiving two or more is a strong indicator of real demand. Rather than engaging one party in a drawn-out negotiation, or wondering if you’re underselling, you now have what every seller dreams of: multiple interested buyers.
This is the ideal setup for a luxury real estate auction. Why?
Because the auction method thrives on competition. Instead of guessing at an asking price or negotiating in the dark, an auction lets the market speak, putting interested parties head-to-head in a transparent and time-bound environment. The result? Uncovering true market value though real-time competition.
Traditionally, auctions have been seen as a “plan B” for sellers whose homes didn’t move on the open market. However, today’s most strategic sellers are starting to realize that the auction method isn’t a fallback, but rather it’s a forward-thinking choice.
Here’s why luxury property owners are rethinking the order of operations:
If you’ve received unsolicited letters or off-market inquiries, you’re in a rare and powerful position. Don’t settle for a single silent negotiation. Use that buyer interest as fuel for a strategic, results-driven sale.
With an auction, you can create urgency, increase visibility, and harness the power of competition.
