In Celina on Thursday, J. P. King Auction Company sold the Collin
County Ranch Estate at a real estate auction. With no minimums and
no reserves, the auction brought 14 registered bidders from Texas
and Wyoming to compete for the home.
Dr. Steve Watson began looking into the auction process to sell
his home after it had been on the market for four years. Last
listed at $1.2 million, Thursday's auction brought 85 percent of
his last ask price with a marketing campaign that included 34
property tours and over 13,000 website hits.
"J. P. King did great," Dr. Watson said. "They prepared us for
the turnout we would have and delivered the results they promised.
After four years of trying to sell our home, we wish we had found
J. P. King sooner to help us with the process. We're very
pleased."
The Collin County Ranch Estate is a three-bedroom, 3.5-bath home
situated on 80 acres on one of the highest elevations in Celina.
Its panoramic views and swimming pool, along with the area's
award-winning school districts and athletic programs were draws for
potential buyers.
Nearly 100 potential bidders went through the due diligence
process through J. P. King before the final 14 registered bidders
arrived for auction day. Interest came from Louisiana, Nebraska,
New Mexico, Texas and Wyoming.
"Being able to reassure a seller that, even after four years of
trying to sell a home, there's still a large market of interested
buyers ready to not only buy, but to also compete for their home is
gratifying," said Craig King, president and CEO of J. P. King
Auction Company. "A national marketing campaign brought 34 property
tours through the home in 10 days and ultimately brought a price at
auction that our seller was very pleased with."
J. P. King will conduct an additional auction in the Dallas
metro area on December 6, where two penthouse units in the Lonestar
Tower, which overlooks the Texas Motorspeedway Racetrack, will sell
at an absolute auction with no minimums and no reserves. Both units
have two bedrooms and views of the track and grandstands. For more
