What Our Clients Say

Client consultation

"The auction process provided a straightforward structure to effectively market the property with minimal risk and attract numerous serious buyers - both locally and nationally. We enjoyed a great working relationship that was professional and easily pragmatic. Ian facilitated a competitive fair market sale at the best price reasonably obtainable with speed, certainty, and finality. We are happy to highly recommend Ian"

"It was a true pleasure watching a true professional, relax - educate and connect at such a high level….. it mirrored a waltz. Thank you for your commitment to your trade and respect for your game."

"I recently had the opportunity to work alongside Ian and was thoroughly impressed with the entire process from beginning to end. Clear expectations were set early on, and I’m pleased to say that those expectations were consistently met—if not exceeded—throughout the campaign. Most importantly, the team delivered on certainty of close. Overall, working with Ian added tremendous value to the transaction."

"I am a court appointed Trustee of a trust for a 100,000 SF+ Retail Center in Pennsylvania. Before selecting a broker, I interviewed and researched other national brokerage firms. With input from the attorneys for the litigious beneficiaries, we chose Ian’s Auction Services Team based on their expertise and ability to attract an expanded buyer pool. That decision proved to be the right one. Communication was outstanding throughout. Ownership, property management, and legal counsel all received regular, well-organized updates, so we always knew where things stood and what came next. Leading up to the auction, Ian leveraged his national reach to bring a broad pool of qualified buyers to the table, positioning the property to highlight its strengths while addressing its challenges transparently. On auction day, execution was flawless, and the result greatly exceeded everyone's expectations. Most importantly, there was no stone left unturned and I had the comfort that there would be no surprises at the time of the auction as well as at the Closing. I would recommend Ian’s Auction Services without hesitation to anyone bringing a property to market, especially one with complexities that demand experience."
