coronavirus Virtual Real Estate Online auctions a good option in the era of social distancing; land prices continue to hold their own in Eastern Iowa BY nancy mayfield eastern iowa farmer When Chuck Schwager auctioned off 82 acres this summer, the social distancing protocols of COVID-19 did not have much impact on the turnout. In fact, the entire process was virtual, with attendees logging on to the company’s website to view and bid on the Jackson County ground. “The participants had to register by 3 p.m. on June 29, submitting their first bid on the registration form. Then the high bid was posted on my website, and bidding continued for 48 hours ending on July 1 at 3 p.m.,” explained Schwager, owner of East Iowa Real Estate at 125 S. 2nd St. in Maquoketa. Bids could be submitted by phone, text or online. Many farmers conduct business online these days, from trading and purchasing machinery to buying livestock, feed and other commodities. Schwager, who started offering online auctions in 2018, said the process gives buyers convenience and privacy while bidding on real estate. “There are different methods to sell real estate,” he said. “The method used depends on what works best at the time and what is for sale.” At a time when social distancing is being emphasized, an online auction is a good option. “In the midst of COVID-19 some of the live land auctions across the Midwest were postponed. There has been more land offered through the written bid We sow good health Osterhaus Pharmacy is the pharmacy patients choose for innovative care, excellent service and exceptional health-related outcomes.
