A Little History on Pat
|
|
| Pat Sheridan was born in Athens and owns the family farm where he raised his family. After graduating from Rome-Canaan High School, Pat attended Ohio State University. He then enlisted in the U.S. Navy Seabees, where he served both in Vietnam and the Antarctica. He returned to OSU to complete his bachelors and masters degrees in education. Pat then taught in Marion County for a couple years, before returning to Athens County in 1975 to fulfill his dream of teaching vocational agriculture at his alma mater school – Federal Hocking. In early 1999, Pat retired from teaching high school after 32 years, but then taught part-time for a few years at Ohio University, in the College of Communication.
Pat enjoys doing various community services—he and Wanda volunteer their time and equipment to conduct about 20 benefit auctions each year for area organizations and non-profits. In addition, Pat is on the Athens County Court approved list of appraisers for the area handling appraisals for estates, insurance, and divorces. Pat is a life-time member of the Ohio Auctioneers Association and serves on the Board of Directors and a member of the National Auctioneers Association. |

Getting Started in the Auction Industry
|
|
| Already well-regarded in the community as a teacher, farmer, Navy vet, and licensed real estate agent, Pat Sheridan is probably best known as our area’s most accomplished auctioneer. Pat got started in the business by helping his uncle, C.E. “Ed” Sheridan, who had been a successful auctioneer in the area for many years. Pat completed his apprenticeship and received his license in 1978. Because Pat felt the Athens area was Ed’s territory, he continued to work with Ed as needed but waited until Ed and his wife, Thelma, retired from the profession in 1983 to begin advertising and building his own reputation. Shamrock Auction Service is still, to-this-day, recognized as one of the premiere auction firms throughout southeastern Ohio. |

Benefits of Auctioning YOUR Property
|
|
According to the National Association of Realtors, a real estate auction can be described as an “intense, accelerated real estate marketing process” that translates into a “win-win’ proposition for everyone involved.”
- Auctions provide many advantages over the more common sales approach, among them:
- Buyers come prepared to buy
- Quick disposal reduces long-term carrying costs, including taxes & maintenance
- Assurance that property will be sold at true market value
- Exposes the property to a large number of pre-qualified prospects
- Accelerates the sale
- May help avoid foreclosure
- Is ideal for “estate” and “trust” sales
- Creates competition among buyers, as auction price can exceed the price of a negotiated sale
- Requires potential buyers to pre-qualify for fi nancing
- The seller knows exactly when the property will sell
- Eliminates numerous and unscheduled showings
- Takes the seller out of the negotiation process
- Ensures an aggressive marketing program that increases interest and visibility
