STEP 4: FEES

Moran’s charges a commission on every lot sold. Additional fees can include photography and cataloguing, insurance, and transportation-related expenses. Each consignment proposal is uniquely tailored on a case-by-case basis, and all specific fees will be discussed by one of our specialists in their sale proposal.

Step 5: Payment

After each auction, you will be notified of the results of the sale. Assuming that payment has been made to Moran’s for all the property that sold, we will send the net proceeds (the hammer price of each lot less commission and any other agreed-on fees) 30 calendar days after the auction.
