Sale Day
Our auctioneers, cashiers, clerks, and specialists handle the sale. The client does not have to be present.
Settlement
After the sale, a settlement sheet is provided and proceeds are issued according to the agreement.
Auctions
Fast competitive bidding.
Auctions are an easy way to liquidate assets, usually in a one-day event where items are sold to the highest bidder. Everything is sold as-is, where-is. Auctions can be in-person, online, or a combination depending on the situation.
Tag Sales
Priced, staged shopping.
Tag sales are a great option for collectible, vintage, antique, unique, or household items. Items are priced individually and the home is staged for shoppers. Tag sales usually take multiple days and require more setup, but they can be very effective for estates with quality household goods, antiques, and collectibles.
Real estate support
Personal property and real estate can work together.
If the estate also includes real estate, Velocity Auction Company can help coordinate personal property liquidation while Vizo Realty assists with listing or auctioning the real estate. Working with one connected team can reduce confusion, avoid overlapping appointments, and help market the home to estate sale customers who may also be potential homebuyers.

Auctions sell items to the highest bidder, usually in a focused event. Tag sales use individual prices, staged rooms, and a shopping-style format.

No. Our auctioneers, cashiers, clerks, and specialists can handle the sale. The client does not have to be present.
