Notable Dealings

The Counts Realty and Auction Group

The Counts Realty and Auction Group was founded in 1963 by Ted Counts. They conduct real estate across the mid-Atlantic and southeast, with some international auctions in the mix. The Counts focus on business liquidations and construction and farming equipment.

Some of their clients include the banking and legal community, but also the public. When COVID shut down the world, it also shut down conventional auctions; The Counts had to adjust by conducting business online.

“The online auctions don’t have the energy and excitement that comes with in-person auctions; however, you still see the competition.” says Bill Bryant, president of The Counts.

Some of the business’s most notable deals have been the high selling auctions, some reaching over $5 million. The Counts sold an oceanfront property in Belize in an online only auction, which was very exciting to all involved in the process.

The Counts expects to see more auctions as the public begin to recognize that it is a good way to sell properties in a concentrated period while adding competition. Their 15 employees work tirelessly to bring buyers and sellers together and help both accomplish their goals.
