Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers from buyers, sellers, bidders, and real estate clients.

Auctions & Estate Services
We handle everything from inventory and lotting to marketing and day-of management. After an initial site visit, we catalog your items, build a marketing campaign, list on major auction platforms, and conduct the auction — live on-site, online, or both. After the sale, we handle clerking, payment collection, and buyer pickup coordination.
Our commission structure and any upfront marketing fees are outlined in your auction agreement before we start. Costs vary based on the type of auction, size of the estate, and marketing scope. We are transparent about all fees at the proposal stage — no surprises.
Yes. We offer both absolute auctions — where the highest bid wins regardless of price — and reserve auctions, where you establish a minimum acceptable price. We discuss which approach maximizes your outcome during our initial consultation.
For live on-site auctions, registration happens the day of the event — bring a valid ID. For online auctions, you'll register through the auction's dedicated landing page on the platform we're using (AuctionZip, HiBid, EquipmentFacts, or others). Registration instructions are always included in each auction's marketing materials.
Yes — this is one of our core strengths. We can manage the sale of the real property through our licensed real estate brokerage while simultaneously handling the personal property and equipment through auction. One team, one point of contact, coordinated from start to finish.
Call our office at (419) 547-7777 or email info@bonnigson.com. We'll schedule an initial consultation — typically a site visit — to assess your needs and put together a proposal at no obligation.
Real Estate Transactions
The process starts with a free consultation where one of our licensed agents will review your property, discuss your goals, and provide a comparative market analysis. From there, we handle pricing strategy, professional photography, listing on MLS and major platforms, open houses or showings, offer negotiation, and closing coordination — start to finish.
Market conditions vary, but homes in Sandusky County and surrounding Northwest Ohio areas that are priced correctly and marketed well typically go under contract within 30 to 60 days. Farmland and commercial properties may take longer depending on buyer demand and financing. Your agent will give you a realistic timeline based on current local market data at the time of your listing.
Absolutely. Our agents represent both buyers and sellers across residential, commercial, farmland, and vacant land transactions. If you're purchasing a home or investment property in Northwest Ohio, we can help you identify properties, navigate the offer and inspection process, and guide you through closing. Buyer representation is typically provided at no direct cost to the buyer — the seller's side covers agent commissions at closing in most standard transactions.
We handle residential homes, rural properties, farmland, vacant lots, commercial buildings, and investment properties. We have particular depth in agricultural and rural land transactions, which is a significant part of the market in Sandusky, Ottawa, and surrounding counties. If you have a specialized property, contact us — if it's outside our wheelhouse, we'll tell you honestly.
Yes. Bonnigson & Associates is a licensed real estate brokerage in the State of Ohio. We are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Ohio Auctioneers Association (OAA). All of our agents hold active Ohio real estate licenses and are committed to the NAR Code of Ethics.
