Ray Carman – Auctioneer

Sorry for the delay in post, just been super busy.

Spring 2013 Auction season is here and roaring. Glad to see so many of you involved and at the sales. For a list of upcoming auctions you can visit us on Facebook or our Company website.

Real Estate in Middle Tn has seen a definite up turn in both activity and prices. It is an encouraging sign after the past 3-4 years. If you are considering a move in Real Estate, I would love to talk to you about how I may assist you in your efforts. Call me anytime!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

As you can imagine, the fall season of auctions is upon us. What a tremendous year it has been so far. I personally have really enjoyed seeing so many coming out to be with us on the weekends for our sales. Some really nice farms, houses, and personal property has found new owners this year through the auction process.

This fall will be no different. Having booked sales all the way up into November already, we have some very nice offerings to make to our buyers. Please do not fail to swing by our Auction page on the website and check out all the coming attractions. While you are at it, like us over on Facebook and stay tuned to all that is going on.

Look forward to seeing you again this weekend at another Gene Carman Auction!

You know it is always fun doing an auction. Having the crowd, the workers, and the atmosphere brings on excitement. It is something I have treasured all since I was five. I honestly can say I really enjoy what I do.

Yesterday I had a gift handed back to me. As we were prepping for a mid week auction, a regular to our sales came up to me. She simply said, “I tell people all the time how much I enjoy coming to these things and seeing you auctioneer. You always are having fun and telling little stories to keep us going.” Then she said thanks.

I tell you what, if you ever need a pick me up, that right there is it. If I was tired and worn out (which auctions can do to you after awhile) that is the very words I needed to hear to carry on Yes, we do have fun, and yes we give our all to see to it that you, the auction crowd, are enjoying yourselves as well. We are honored to sever folks in our community and we hope you sense that as we work week”end” and week out.

Thanks to all who make our lives so much more than it could be without you, you auction regulars! We truly do have a blast with you at each and every sale.

Sorry it has been awhile, however, beginning March 10th, the family company has been VERY busy with Auctions. Whether a house and lot, to a farm, to some 2 day extravaganza sales with antiques galore. Needless to say, it has been a little wild (which is how we like it!)

We have had some great moments during these sales as well. My favorite part of it all is to see people entertained and having a good time. So far it has been a smash this year.

We are currently looking to book a few more sales for Summer and Early Fall. If you know of anyone we could serve, feel free to let us know.

For our upcoming auctions you can visit us at www.carmanrealestate.com or find us on Facebook under Gene Carman Real Estate and Auction!

Come see us soon at one of our fabulous upcoming sales!

So many people right now are wondering what they should do in their real estate decisions. And the honest truth is, it is determined on a case by case basis. There really is no “one size fits all” solution in our current market.

Since the beginning of 2012, home sale have seen a significant rise in numbers. The price range still remains below the 200’s, but the number of transactions are up in Middle TN. Land has also seen a rise in action. And with Spring approaching, you can expect that to increase even more and for it to spike when auction season arrives.

All that being said, it is still wise to consult your real estate and auction professional in making your own personal decision. Factors can weigh heavily on the decision on what is BEST for you and your family in this market.

So whether buying or selling, it is still a great idea to call your local Real Estate expert.

On November 19th I was with one of our crews at an auction in Red Boiling Springs TN. We were well off the beaten path and had the pleasure of offering 223 acres at auction. The land sold tremendously due in large part to my uncle’s, Darrell Carman, hard work and the talent of my grandfather auctioneering.

Immediately following the land sale, we offered a 410 double barrel shotgun made by American Gun Co.  stamped New York. The exact age we did not know, but it was estimated to be over 100 years. I watched with amazement as the bidding went from $500 to $2400! People came from all over to see this gun sale!

Just thought I would share!
