For realtors and brokers
Agents are welcome at our real estate sales. There are two requirements, and both are firm. Read them before the sale, not on the night.
The two requirements
Miss either one and your registration is not valid for that sale.
Email the completed broker registration form for that specific sale to [email protected] at least 24 hours before the auction begins. One form per buyer, per sale. A form received after the deadline does not qualify your brokerage for the commission.
You must be present with your buyer on the night of the sale. Registering in advance does not hold your position on its own. If you cannot attend, tell us before the deadline rather than after.
How it works
Broker registration forms go to the auction office, not to a personal address. Send them as an attachment with the property in the subject line.
[email protected]Auction office
If anything about a property, its terms or the deadline is unclear, call rather than guess. It is far easier to sort out beforehand.

Common questions
Download the broker registration form at the top of this page, fill it in with the property address, and email it to [email protected] at least 24 hours before the auction begins. One form per buyer, per sale.
Yes. You must be present with your client on the night of the sale. An agent who registers but does not attend with their buyer is not eligible.
The signed form has to reach the office by 6:00 PM the day before the sale for your brokerage to be paid the commission. The deadline is firm, so send the form as soon as your buyer decides to attend rather than the day of.
The terms of sale for each property are listed in its auction catalog. For the seller disclosure or anything else about a specific property, email or call the office. The broker registration form is the same for every sale.
Yes, but each buyer needs their own form submitted before the deadline, and you must be present with the buyer who is bidding.
The winning bidder pays 10% of the total down on the day of the sale, with the balance due at settlement. A 3% buyer's premium is added to the winning bid, and the winning bid plus the premium is the total purchase price.
John Carl Auction Company pays a 2% commission to the real estate brokerage that secures the winning bid, unless another percentage is negotiated. It is calculated on the purchase price and paid at settlement. To qualify, the signed broker registration form must reach the office by 6:00 PM the day before the sale, and you must be present at the auction.
An auction puts a date on it. If you have a seller who needs certainty rather than another price reduction, call and we will tell you honestly whether it suits an auction.
