F.A.Q. About Cain Auctions
How Does Cain Auction Group conduct an auction?
The prospective seller will first need to sign up. After that, we will create a detailed auction description and the seller will sign the terms and conditions. Then, we will begin marketing efforts for the auction.
How Does Cain Auction Group promote an auction?
We will begin aggressive marketing strategies to get the word out. This could include marking signs, online and social media promotions, advertisements in the local newspaper, radio and television spots.
What is the difference in an absolute auction and a reserve auction?
Absolute auction refers to an auction that will sell to the highest bidder, regardless of price. With a reserve auction, there is a minimum price set and the bid must meet that minimum price for the property or item to sell.
What if I can’t attend the auction but I’m interested in buying?
Cain Auction Group will need to qualify you as an absentee bidder. Once that process is completed, you will then be able to begin your absentee bidding. Call us today at 270-559-9513 to find out how you can become an absentee bidder!
I don’t want to wait until the auction date. Can I purchase before the auction?
We do not allow purchases before auctions.

The closing date will be within 45 days after the auction is over.
Who is responsible for closing costs?
