Levin teases September auction of Illinois and Wisconsin properties

Rick Levin tries to conduct an auction of some sort every month. Sometimes the events focus on just one property, like the sale of the old Park 1000 lot on historic Michigan Avenue, scheduled for later this month, or the sale of a 36,000 square-foot industrial building in Frankfort, scheduled for August. But many times, he compiles a variety of homes, parcels, and other properties. While the details are still scarce, it appears that Levin is readying one of these events for September.

"We are in the planning stage for a significant real estate auction event," Levin says through his website. "In early September we will offer a number of properties at very, very low minimum bids PLUS many properties that will be sold absolute regardless of price to the highest bidder."

The auction will include "a number of homesites, commercial buildings, vacant land and acreage, and a number of other properties" in both Illinois and Wisconsin. Levin's site will feature more information in coming weeks, including videos about the auction. Buyers can also receive details through Levin's electronic mailing list.
