Online Auction of 46 Homes in Philadelphia Area
Tranzon Alderfer, a well-established auction house, is set to host an exciting online auction featuring 46 homes located in Philadelphia and its surrounding suburbs. Scheduled to take place this month, the event comes under the orders of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, allowing prospective buyers the opportunity to acquire a property at an entry-level price.
The bidding process will officially kick off on
October 6 and will close on various dates between
October 13 and 15. The homes will have starting bids ranging from
$25,000 to $50,000, contingent on the property in question, making these listings particularly appealing to first-time buyers and investors alike.
Diverse Property Listings
The auction includes a range of properties, predominantly
rowhomes and single-family houses in Philadelphia. Additionally, there are some multifamily units alongside a handful of properties situated in
Chester and Delaware counties. Each property will be sold individually, although some may be grouped into packages for potential bidders interested in acquiring more than one asset.
Samantha Kelley, CEO of Tranzon Alderfer, emphasizes that a common misconception regarding bankruptcy auctions is that they cater only to large investors. “
People hear 'bankruptcy auction' and assume it's only for big investors. It isn't,” Kelley stresses. She notes that many of the homes are affordable enough for someone purchasing their first house, allowing them to bid alongside seasoned landlords.
The Company Behind the Auction
Founded in 1959 by Sanford A. Alderfer in Harleysville, the company boasts a long-standing tradition in Pennsylvania's auction industry. Tranzon Alderfer remains a family-operated enterprise, with roots deeply embedded in the community. Under the leadership of Kelley and owner Thomas Saturley, the business is expanding significantly throughout Pennsylvania.
Over the years, the company has gained a reputation for managing complex auction processes in partnership with bankruptcy trustees, real estate attorneys, and lenders—all while ensuring transparency and swift execution as dictated by court guidelines. Kelley highlighted, “
When a court is overseeing a sale, everything has to be done right and, on the record, and usually it has to be done fast.”
