Auction Process Generates Pre-Auction Sale of Dunkirk Dairy Dream

Dunkirk, Ohio — September 9, 2025 — Gryphon USA, a leading real estate and auction firm, announced the successful sale of the Dunkirk Dairy Dream, located at 290 N. Main Street in Dunkirk, Ohio, through its auction process.

The property had been listed traditionally for approximately six months without selling, but once Gryphon USA initiated its auction marketing program, the property went under contract in less than two weeks.

Although the Dairy Dream was scheduled for public auction, the process itself generated strong market interest and produced an acceptable pre-auction offer, resulting in a sale prior to the auction date.

"Not all properties offered at auction go all the way through the bidding process," said Richard Kruse, President of Gryphon USA. "Our role as auctioneers is to facilitate the best possible outcome for the client. Sometimes that means taking the property to competitive bidding, and other times it means negotiating a pre-auction contract when a qualified buyer steps forward early."

The auction marketing campaign for the Dairy Dream included targeted social media outreach, email blasts, website syndication, site signage, media relations, and phone outreach, all of which drove inquiries that led to the pre-auction sale.

This sale underscores the flexibility and effectiveness of the auction method of marketing:

• Some properties sell during the online bid process.
• Others may sell ahead of time, as was the case here.
• In every case, the auctioneer’s job is to maximize results for the client.
