What time do I need to be there?

Top 50 Questions about Farmland

A common question sellers ask is when to arrive for a farmland auction. While buyers often show up just minutes before bidding begins, sellers benefit from arriving earlier to review details, connect with the auction team, and ensure everything is ready for a smooth sale. Understanding the best arrival time helps reduce stress and sets the stage for a successful auction day.

Recommended Arrival Time for Sellers

  • Sellers should plan to arrive 15 minutes before the auction starts. This gives you time to speak with the auctioneer, ask last-minute questions, and review any updates. Although buyers typically walk in right before the auction, your early arrival ensures you’re prepared and confident going into the sale.

Auction Team Preparation

The auction company arrives 2 hours before the sale to:

  1. Test the internet and video connections.
  2. Set up equipment for a seamless live or simulcast auction.
  3. Finalize the venue and ensure all logistics are in place.

Key Takeaways

  1. Arrive 15 minutes before the auction for final conversations and to avoid unnecessary waiting.
  2. Don’t be alarmed if buyers aren’t visible until shortly before the auction starts.
  3. The auction team handles technical preparations well in advance, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
