Travelers’ Rest Stop in Central California Becomes Newest Auction on FRE.com

cflynn — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 19:17:55 +0000

Located about 40 miles north of Bakersfield along Interstate 5 and Paso Robles Highway 46 is the Lost Hills RV Park, a welcomed pit stop for road warriors and the newest auction on the Freedom Realty Exchange (FRE.com). Lost Hills is small but thriving town in central California with many of its residents working in the local agricultural or oil businesses.

As an alternative choice to a traditional real estate sale, online auctions can be especially effective for sellers wanting to dispose of their property but are not willing to chase the market. An auction creates a trading platform that brings the buyer and seller together in such a way that depth of market emerges and fair market value is realized.

“With properties similar to this RV Park, an online auction appeals to buyers, both local and out of state, because of its convenience and the fair and open bidding conditions”, said LFC’s Director of Operations Ryan Devin. “It also gives the seller a way to gauge market demand and make an informed decision based upon the bids received.”

Located about 40 miles north of Bakersfield along Interstate 5 and Paso Robles Highway 46 is the Lost Hills RV Park, a welcomed pit stop for road warriors and the newest auction on the Lost Hills RV Park sits on over 9 acres with 80 pads and the following amenities:

Swimming pool
Convenience and supply store
Playground
Dog walk area
Horse motel
Deluxe showers
Laundry facilities

As with all of the auctions on the Freedom Realty Exchange website, property research, due diligence and even bidding are conducted completely online, removing the need to spend hours in a crowded ballroom with all the unwanted pressure and intimidation that comes with a traditional outcry auction. Interested buyers can view property and auction documents by visiting FRE.com/112L1. Bids must be submitted by December 1st.

No Reserve in the Auction for a Specialty Car Wash

cflynn — Wed, 25 May 2011 23:43:09 +0000

Strategically built between the cities of Sacramento and San Francisco, this move-in ready, +/-2,244SF specialty car wash facility and freestanding retail center is situated only a short distance from the I-80 in Suisun City, CA. The property features three individual car wash bays and space for equipment. On the other hand, the second building is approximately 1,940SF and has the potential of being subdivided for multiple tenants and a variety of retail uses. With an aggressive Bid Deadline and date certain for sale on June 16th, this auction is generating a lot of investor interest for its pricing as well.

The auction’s minimum bid starts at $249,000, a fraction of the property’s $640,000 suggested value, but the major head-turning feature is the fact that the action also has no reserve! I know some of you might be asking “how does this sweeten the deal?” or “what’s a reserve?” so, in short, not having a reserve means that the property must sell.

When a property is being offered “with reserve,” it means that the seller is not obligated to accept the highest bid unless it meets or exceeds a predetermined release price. So, in this particular online auction, when the auction is being held “without reserve,” the seller will be obligated to move forward with the winning high bidder. Got it? O.k. great. Now on your marks. Ready. Set. BID (excuse the car/racing pun)! because this could be your only chance to pick up this asset at an incredible value.

Online Auction in Orland Comes to an End

cflynn — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 22:35:22 +0000

Our online auction for bank-owned property in Orland, California has finally come to an end thanks to one persistent bidder who outlasted all others! Though a bid deadline was initially set for March 25th, the seller invoked our patent-pending LAST CALL® system which extends the auction by twenty four hours each time a new high bid is placed. Ten different bidders combined to place over 30 bids, keeping this exciting online auction alive until April 15^th after a remarkable three weeks of Last Call® bidding.

Much of Northern California, including Orland, was hit hard and early by the collapse of the commercial real estate market, creating countless investment opportunities, such as this bank-owned plot of land, which created quite the buzz among local residents and business professionals alike.

There are many aspects that made this property attractive. For starters, the minimum bid of just $110,000 represented a remarkable deal for such a versatile property. Also, the land’s close proximity to the bustling town of Chico stretched its appeal across the entire region.

This auction may have ended, but you can always stay up to date on all of our exciting auctions by following us on Twitter, subscribing to our RSS feed, signing up for our monthly eNewsletter, or checking out our website LFC.com.

REO Auction for Land Parcels in Central California

cflynn — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 01:30:55 +0000

LFC is currently auctioning two bank-owned parcels in the central California coast counties of Santa Barbara and San Louis Obispo. Although I was born and raised in Southern California, the central coast is definitely my favorite part of the state. Best known for its vineyards and country lifestyle, the central coast goes against the strain of the hustle and bustle of southern and northern California’s biggest cities. The countryside is much more open, the beaches more peaceful, and the people more laid back. I see it is a privilege for me to introduce each of theseexceptional properties and highlight their development opportunities for commercial and residential use.

The first of these properties is located in Los Alamos, only a few minutes south of Santa Barbara County’s largest city, Santa Maria. Los Alamos is a small town situated along California’s scenic 101 Freeway stretching from Downtown Los Angeles to the Oregon border. The parcel of land we are auctioning is situated in an established residential neighborhood and consists of three individual lots totaling approximately 0.60 acres.

The second bank-owned property is an 8,800 square foot commercial / residential development opportunity in Paso Robles. Paso Robles is San Luis Obispo County’s fastest growing city, boasting dozens of award-winning wineries (for up to date information on events and local news, follow @TravelPaso on Twitter). The bank-owned property we are auctioning comes with flexible zoning, allowing for the development of both professional offices and multi-family units.

The Bid Deadline for both of these properties is coming up on April 1st and all of the necessary photos and documents are available to download at our online auction market place, LFC.com.

Pixley, California Commecial Land Auction

cflynn — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:47:01 +0000

We are currently hosting an auction consisting of +/- 89 acres of development land in Pixley, CA.

A little bit about Pixley: The quaint town of Pixley, in Tulare County, is centrally located in California’s Central Valley. Pixley is just 25 miles away from the county seat of Visalia, widely renowned as the economic center of the Sequoia Valley region, the most productive single agricultural area in the country. Bustling Bakersfield is less than 50 miles away, while the drive to Los Angeles takes less than three hours. Tulare County itself is home to many natural wonders, including Sequoia National Park and parts of Kings Canyon National Park.

This land parcel has plenty of potential from residential development to farming. Although the entitlement process was started there is not an approved tentative map.

Feel free to check out the online auction for more photos and information at LFC.com before the bid deadline on 12/10/2009.
