Throughout his impressive career, Mr. Baumann has been involved in several hundred million dollars in sales of residential, commercial and industrial real estate located in 15 states.
The basic premise of the firm's corporate philosophy is derived from Mr. Baumann's primary objective to enable buyers and sellers to interact more easily and on a more cost-effective basis, while also providing the finest service and expertise available in the industry. As a result, the firm has achieved numerous sales in the real estate marketplace that would have otherwise been improbable.
In an effort to exceed "conventional" real estate auction advertising results, the firm utilized the finest available designers to streamline the firm's auction display ads and brochures creating what many now view as the industry standard. To facilitate the highest possible involvement of prospective purchasers with the auction process, an easy-to-use website and comprehensive Bidder's Package was created. For maximum recognition and impact, the firm's auction signage was strategically, and tastefully, designed. In addition, a leading benchmark in the industry was established for cooperation with the local brokerage communities in regard to both referral fees and traditional real estate auction cooperating broker practices. Finally, some of the finest professionals in the industry were assembled as auction day staff.
Today, Westar Properties, Inc. is universally recognized as a premiere leader in the modern day practice of real estate auctions.
