Indianapolis, IN June 10, 2006 -- Six of Hamilton County's8217;s most dramatic home sites - Geist Lake Forest - will be featured in an Absolute* Public Auction on Saturday, June 17, 2006.
The event will commence at 12:30 PM on the property which is located on the east side of Florida Road just south of 113th Street. Each 5-acre plus parcel sits behind the state-of-the-art
security of a steel and stone electronic access gate and includes a deeded boat dock on nearby Geist Reservoir.
Julie Bandy of Century 21 Preferred Properties is the listing agent. She's8217;s excited to be able to bring this unique property to market in a rather unique manner 's8211; a public
auction. From the initial decision to hold the auction, Bandy has been asked repeatedly about this unusual way to sell such premier real estate.
's8220;Dr. Vasilis Makris, owner and developer of Geist Lake Forest, purchased the property for himself a few years ago, developed it by bringing in all utilities, getting it subdivided,
platted and recorded, clearing trees, and building and paving a road into the property,'s8221; explains Bandy. 's8220;It could take years to find the right buyer for these lots because
with a traditional listing the marketing campaign is much more conservative. Therefore, one of the reasons he chose to auction is because Dr. Makris wants to keep a lot for himself to
build on,'s8221;
's8220;It would be the perfect arrangement to sell the lots all at once, get all the construction started within 24 months so that the road can be repaved, finish the manicuring of the
common ground, and have the project completed so that we can begin enjoying our quiet and private home sites,'s8221; said Dr. Makris.
Bandy adds, 's8220;There is no better way of bringing out the truest market value in property than gathering a group of interested buyers together and simply asking, 's8216;What are you
willing to pay for this's8217; What takes most realtors months and sometimes years to sell, will take us an hour and a half.'s8221;
The property site features 100 to 200-foot ravines which create breathtaking views of some of the area's8217;s most natural and untouched beauty. Mature trees, unbridled wildlife, and a
wide variety of native birds are ready for future homeowners to enjoy in abundance. A newly paved access road winds to the entrance of each five acre estate home site. The infrastructure
includes all utilities necessary for immediate connectivity.
Bandy is pleased to announce her partnership with the Broker Auction Team, a leading local real estate auction firm. 's8220;We firmly believe we have put the right team in place to market
this premier property,'s8221; said Bandy. 's8220;This type of land is virtually impossible to find in the Geist area today, so it is imperative we do a great job of letting people know
about the auction. Our combined areas of expertise promise to make this event one to remember. Without a doubt, this auction will make dreams come true for the winning bidders.'s8221;
