By law, all real estate auctions must be conducted by a licensed real estate agent. At Harris Appraisal and Auctioneering, real estate sales are managed by a licensed agent under Burrows Tracts Real Estate Brokerage. Harris Appraisal and Auctioneering serves solely as the auction platform.
The auctioneer is both a licensed real estate agent with Burrows Tracts Real Estate Brokerage and the owner of Southeast Nebraska Real Estate Team, ensuring all transactions are handled with professionalism and in compliance with state regulations.
The cost to conduct a real estate auction is based on a percentage of the final sale price. This percentage may vary depending on factors such as the estimated property value, advertising expenses, labor, web hosting, and administrative fees.
Farm Ground (80+ acres): Typically 3% of the total sale price.
Residential Properties: Typically 6% – 20% of the total sale price.

Online Auctions: Typically 15% – 25% of total sales
