Instructions
1. FIND OUT EXPECTED CLOSE-OUT DATES-
After close-outs of new home communities, home builders typically use auction companies to sell the furniture and accessories showcased in their model homes.
The builder's sales agent is the person you will need to follow up with to determine when they are anticipating to close-out home sales, when the furniture auction will be held and the name of the auction company.
2. GET A MEMBERSHIP WITH THE AUCTION COMPANY-
Auction companies usually only invite members and the homeowners who live in the community where the auction is being held. You may purchase a membership with the auction companies to have access to their website and mailing list. Membership fees vary depending on the auction firm, but are typically no more than $20-30$ annually. Members get advanced notice of upcoming auctions in their area of town. Also as a member you will be able to view photos of items being auctioned in the model home as well as directions to the auction site.
3. ATTEND AUCTION / BID ON FURNITURE-
The furniture auctions are held at the model home site in the largest room of the house, such as a kitchen or family room.
There are no minimum bids, and you (auction bidders) are in control of the opening bid.
4. TAKE YOUR NEW FURNITURE HOME-
Model homes can have as much as 200 items being auctioned, but it takes only a few hours to completely empty the rooms. Only cash is accepted and bidders are asked to remove their purchases within 2 hours after paying the cashier.
