Motion to Sell

6. The Debtor was a general contractor operating in Richmond, Virginia. In the 

operation of its business, the Debtor owned a vehicle and a trailer (the “Personal Property”).

7. The Personal Property constitute property of the estate pursuant to 11 U.S.C. 

§ 541(a) (“The commencement of a case under section 301, 302, or 303 of this title creates an 

estate. Such estate is comprised of all the following property, wherever located and by 

whomever held: (1) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c)(2) of this section, all legal or 

equitable interests of the debtor in property as of the commencement of the case.”). The Trustee 

confirms there are no liens against the Personal Property.

8. The Trustee is authorized to sell the Personal Property pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 

363(b), which provides: 

The trustee, after notice and a hearing, may use, sell, or 

lease, other than in the ordinary course of business, 

property of the estate, . . . 

9. In exercising his business judgment, the Trustee engaged Motley’s Asset 

Disposition Group (“Motley’s”) to market and to sell the Personal Property by auction. Motley’s 

is a highly qualified auctioneer whose business includes the sale of vehicles and trailers. 

Motley’s will market the Personal Property for an absolute auction. The Trustee proposes to 

compensate Motley’s by paying a twelve percent (12%) commission on the highest bid price for 

each or all of the Personal Property. Motley’s intends to charge a buyer’s premium of ten 

percent (10%), which shall not be part of the highest bid price and which shall be paid solely by 

the buyer. The Trustee shall also reimburse Motley’s to remove and to secure the Personal 

Property, which amount is $150.00.

Motion to Approve Payment of Commissions and Expenses to Auctioneer

10. The Trustee seeks to pay Motley’s from the sales proceeds in accordance with 

industry standards. The Trustee submits the commissions are fair and reasonable for marketing 

and auctioning the Personal Property. The Trustee seeks approval of the commissions and the 

expenses without further application, which will save the estate the costs to prepare, file and 

prosecute a separate pleading. 

11. The Trustee requests the Court to authorize him to obtain new certificates of title, if 

necessary, so that he can transfer title to the ultimate buyers.

12. The Trustee requests the Court to waive the stay under Federal Rules of 

Bankruptcy Procedure 6004(h) (“An order authorizing the use, sale, or lease of property other 

than cash collateral is stayed until the expiration of 14 days after the entry of the order, unless the 

court orders otherwise.”). In the instant case, there are no liens on the Personal Property and no 

controversy regarding entitlement to the sale proceeds. Accordingly, cause exists for the Court to 

exercise its discretion and abrogate the 14-day stay.

WHEREFORE, the Trustee requests the Court to authorize the relief sought herein and to 

award any other related relief the Court deems proper.
