About Us

Hagen Realty Group

As a full-service auction company, Hagen Realty Group can professionally market all real estate and business assets. From the local market to the national market, we know AUCTIONS. For many years our primary focus has been individuals, business owners, financial institutions, capital funds, CMBS Lenders, special servicers, receivers, attorneys, trustees and certified development companies (CDCs) in commercial real estate. Through this extensive experience since 1991 we have been able to development a WIN – WIN solution for our clients that everyone can rest assured that the very best advertising, marketing and professional personal service was provided to every type of property we sell, residential, land, farms or commercial. We can proudly say, “A client can rest assured that the very best in services, experience and knowledge will be given in the sale of their property”.

We get superior results for our clients by using auctions to sell a wide range of agriculture, residential and commercial properties, including hotels, convenience stores, condominiums, offices, restaurants, industrial properties, farms, timberland, houses or resort properties. We use multiple tools to be able to assess each property on a case-by-case basis and recommend the method best suited based on scores of factors, including:

Current market conditions. How much supply is currently on the market? How quickly is inventory being absorbed?
Highest and best use for the property. Can we achieve better results by repositioning the property or focusing on a different target market?
Competitive factors. How many similar properties are on the market in the area? How long have they been listed?
History of local market's receptivity to auctions for similar properties.

Our experience has shown, the quicker you turn nonproductive real estate and business assets into cash, the quicker you can get back to doing what you do best….running your business and making money.

REO/Loss-Share Auctions

A Hagen auction -- whether for a single asset or an entire portfolio -- can be a powerful method for liquidating nonperforming assets. And because we're constantly adapting our marketing program to use the most efficient media and technologies, a Hagen auction may sell your property more quickly, and at a lower cost, than you think.

What type of auction?

Most Hagen auctions are live events, as we have found that they get the best results for most clients and property types. However, we also use online and sealed-bid auctions for properties and sellers where these are likely to be more successful.

Accelerated Listings

Our Accelerated Listing program provides sellers the best possible opportunity to get a property sold by combining elements of a traditional listing with techniques employed in auctions:

Open pricing. In today's market, a traditional "asking price" often acts as a deterrent to offer. That's why our accelerated listings leave it up to prospective buyers to make offers based on their own assessment of its value.
Limited viewings. We limit viewings to one per month, bringing all interested parties together at the same time. When prospective buyers see their competition for the property, it creates a sense of urgency and often leads to quicker and higher offers.
Defined listing period. In our experience, a property that has not sold within 90 to 120 days is unlikely to benefit from a longer listing period. Meanwhile, the seller is faced with maintenance and potential vandalism. For this reason, we usually recommend an auction after 120 days.

Our History

Hagen Realty Group's history goes back to 1991, when founder Kim H. Hagen conducted his first auction. That year, Kim formed Hagen Auction Co., Inc. and later affiliated with a national chain. Throughout these years, he made a careful study of what techniques were most effective for various types of properties, and he developed a vision for an approach that employed a full range of marketing options, in order to best meet the needs of each client and property. That led to the formation of Hagen Realty Group, which has quickly emerged as one of the nation's leading asset disposition firms, using a powerful combination of accelerated listings and auctions.

Hagen has auctioned tens of thousands of properties in twenty-seven (27) states and DC, with satisfied auction clients. Check out our "Scope of Business" for a sample of our previous engagements.
