Thompson Carr Weathers the Storm for Absolute Auction Success!

Amid torrential rain and gail force winds Thompson Carr had a great turn out for their Auction of property on Flat Creek Road in Sevierville. Buyers turned out despite the stormy weather to bid on Billy and April Jones' homes at Absolute Auction. Investors looking for bargains were out in full force knowing that this is the market they like to buy property in. The nationwide housing slump seems to have effected all parts of the country except the Sevier County residential, land & commercial marketplace. Auctioneers Todd Thompson and Dale Carr of Thompson Carr Auctions commented Friday after another successful Absolute Auction; "Our auctions don't seem to have been negatively effected, in fact the reverse is often the case. We are booking more Auctions and increasing sales, the slump appears to bringing out more bargain hunters for the housing market". As with any down market including this one when prices are down that seems to be the time to buy. Thompson and Carr also commented they are using new and innovative ways to get news of their Auctions out to the general public. "We are adjusting budgets to reflect internet buyers and international buyers". This week sees the launch of their new look website which they hope will draw even more clients from across the country and Europe.
