When people hear the word “auction,” they often imagine dramatic scenes involving the Sheriff, court orders, and stressed homeowners, but we focus on private property auction.
However, at Apollo Auctions, we want to set the record straight: we are not the Sheriff of the Court.
Instead, we are the friendly auctioneers — in fact we are here to make the property selling (and buying!) experience professional, positive, and rewarding for everyone involved.

Understanding the Difference: Sheriff Auction vs Private Property Auction
Before diving into your property auction journey, it’s important to understand the difference:
-
Sheriff Auctions involve court-ordered sales, usually after repossession or foreclosure. These auctions can be stressful and often offer little control to the original property owner.
-
Private Property Auctions, like the ones we specialize in, are voluntary. Property owners choose to auction their homes or commercial properties through a professional auction company — like us — on their own terms.
In short, our auctions are designed to empower sellers, attract serious buyers, and create a win-win environment.

How Does a Private Property Auction Work?
Working with us is straightforward:
-
Property Appraisal: Apollo Auctions assess your property and discuss your goals.
-
Marketing Campaign: We advertise your property across multiple platforms, reaching a wide audience of serious buyers.
-
Auction Day: We conduct a lively, transparent auction where interested buyers bid for your property.

Moreover, private auctions often result in faster sales and better market-related prices because of the competitive bidding environment.

-
Homeowners who want a fast and fair sale

Executors of deceased estates
