Landslide Victory for Thompson Carr at Le Conte Landing Auction

Saturday June 21st, 2008 sees yet another Thompson Carr Auctions victory in a Real Estate market that is having more downs than ups. Thompson Carr's auction of 40 lots in the prestigious Le Conte Landing Subdivision in Sevierville, Tennessee, USA was a huge success bringing ~$1,625,000. The whole community turned out to see how many lots would sell and at what price point. Once again Thompson Carr Auctions proved they are tops when it comes to putting buyers and sellers together. Bidders from all over the South East turned out to buy at auction prices. From as far away as Florida and Kentucky bidders flocked to buy lots with views of Mount Le Conte and the Great Smoky Mountains. Todd Thompson and Dale Carr, owners of Thompson Carr Auctions were cautiously optimistic prior to auction start time of 10:30am and after, they were beaming with success. "We have started to change our marketing strategy" Carr said after the auction "we are now backing away from local advertising and are more focused on bringing buyer's from further a field. Seeing buyer's here from all over the South East proves in part that it is starting to work". Much of the praise Carr had went to a local company they have known for a relatively short time, SD Professionals produces this auction companies brochures, website and now SEO marketing strategies. Melanie Sims, Operations Manager for Thompson Carr Auctions stated Saturday " Each auction is different but usually we have tight budgets to work with. Jacob Timmons, of SD Professionals always works with those budgets and brings us a marketing product that reaches far beyond our expectations. We are very pleased with the turnout he has produced for this auction". Thompson Carr are seeming to go from strength to strength they are now booking auction for August and September and even have auctions booked for November of 2008. "It usually takes about 6 - 8 weeks to prepare for an auction if the property doesn't need major planning approval" Sims commented. With the building of the new hospital the investors that purchased lots on Saturday are sure to see a good return on their investment when the Hospital opens in the Fall of 2009.
