ATLANTA, April 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Coming off a two-week period that included five auctions resulting in the successful sale of scores of properties, John Dixon & Associates continues to see solid demand for all types of real estate. Events in Pensacola, Panama City, Atlanta and Loganville, Ga., during a two-week period in April resulted in sales totaling at least $8 million, according to John Dixon, president of the auction company.

Sales included office condominiums and commercial land in Florida, townhomes in Jackson, a gulf front home on Dog Island, and even a commercial building formerly used as a funeral home in Loganville.

With those auctions behind it, the company immediately turned its attention to upcoming events, which will include a multi-day auction in mid June, for which the company is currently accepting consignments.

"Many of our auctions are primarily for one or two sellers, but these events will offer virtually anyone an opportunity to get their real estate sold. Properties can include homes, condominiums, land, retail properties and virtually any other type of commercial or residential property," said Dixon. Individuals interested in selling properties in those auctions may call 800-479-1763 or visit johndixon.com.

"The real estate market is in a transition now, where we'll start to see less emphasis on foreclosures and more on selling the considerable backlog of residential and commercial properties that took a back seat the last few years," said Dixon. "While some of those properties are owned by individuals, there are many more held by institutions that have been holding onto them, waiting for a better market. That better market is here, so it's a good time for them to begin selling properties that don't fit their investment needs."

John Dixon & Associates, based in Atlanta with offices in Tennessee, Florida and North Carolina, is one of the nation's largest auctioneers of real estate properties.
