Going Once
GOING TWICE
It was the excitement, pace and unpredictability of auctions that first drew Scott into this side of the property world.
Starting out in estate agency in East Devon before moving into auctions, he quickly discovered a completely different energy. The speed, variety, and momentum of the auction world suited both his personality and approach, and he never looked back. Now with more than twenty years of experience across the South West, Scott has built a reputation around honest advice and understanding when auction is, and is not, the right route for a property. While auctions are sometimes misunderstood as a last resort, the reality is often very different. When the right property meets the right buyer, the process can be remarkably swift, transparent and effective. The same fast-paced atmosphere that first drew Scott into the auction world years ago still plays a big part today, not only through property sales, but also the charity auctions he regularly supports across the region, where he helps organisations raise as much money as possible for their causes.
One of the biggest differences from traditional sales is the sheer variety of properties that come through auction. Renovation opportunities, unusual homes, land and investment properties all attract buyers looking for something beyond the standard market. Increasingly, online auctions are also opening the process to a much wider audience, with secure deposits and stringent buyer and seller checks helping create confidence on both sides once the virtual gavel falls.
Where we live shapes a huge part of our everyday life; from the roads we drive and the places we shop, to the routines we develop, communities we mingle within and ultimately the people we meet along the way. The wider variety of property found at auction exposes people to opportunities they may never have originally considered and can lead buyers towards completely different possibilities and lifestyles than the ones they first imagined.
Sometimes, the property people never expected to bid on becomes the one that opens the most interesting new chapter in their lives, and occasionally changes everything.
