Buying at Auction

As auctions are rapidly gaining in popularity,  they are becoming a proven method to buy and sell real estate. Auctions can provide flexibility to accommodate individual needs. They generate excitement because of the time-limited aspect of the transactions.  But the best part is, AUCTIONS WORK!

Virtually all classes of real estate are sold by Lyons Auction Group . We routinely offer properties from individuals, financial institutions, trustees, REITs, hedge funds, and major corporations.

We invite you to read more about us and the auction process ... and we hope to see you at an auction soon!
