Intermountain Bobcat's New Location in Idaho Falls

Scott Machinery, one of the leading construction equipment dealers in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming, announced May 12th the sale of assets related to its John Deere and Hitachi business to Honnen Equipment Company, effective May 1, 2009. With a new focus as the area’s exclusive Bobcat dealer, the company will continue to operate as Intermountain Bobcat.

The change reflects the industry trend of consolidation of dealerships nationwide. Brothers David and Jeff Scott decided to sell the assets of their John Deere business to Honnen Equipment of Colorado so that they could focus on their Bobcat business. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Intermountain Bobcat will retain its Utah locations in Salt Lake City (4100 S. 500 West), Orem (1167 Industrial Road), and Cedar City (642 N. 1070 West) and has opened a new location in Idaho Falls, Idaho (3788 N 500 E). Randy Waters and Steve Frei with NAI Commerce One helped facilitate the new Idaho Falls location at the former Bodily RV along Highway 20 across from Bish's RV.

“We’re excited to give our full attention to the Bobcat line,” says David, president and CEO, regarding the ongoing Intermountain Bobcat business. “With 40 years of industry experience in the Intermountain area, we’re well-positioned to become the compact equipment leader by providing excellent service, supporting industry-leading projects and continuing our tradition of total customer satisfaction.”

For over 40 years, Scott Machinery was the exclusive John Deere construction and forestry equipment dealer in Utah, Eastern Idaho, and Western Wyoming. Founded in 1968 by Brent Scott, the business started in an old converted service station in Salt Lake City and established a reputation for quality service and customer satisfaction. Through the years the company expanded its product lines to include Bobcat equipment in its Intermountain Bobcat business, and has opened new locations while maintaining its focus on reliable service and long-term relationships as a locally-owned and operated business. This tradition will continue in the company’s ongoing operation of Intermountain Bobcat.

New Idaho Falls Location for Citizens Community Bank

Citizens Community Bank's new location is open for business in Idaho Falls between Super Wal-Mart and Snake River Landing on Utah Avenue. NAI Commerce One's Randy Waters assisted in the FDIC auction of this property that was once home to ANB Financial.

Citizens Community Bank was created by local and regional business men and women over a decade ago to reintroduce focus to old-fashioned, relationship banking. Their goal was to have a bank staffed by people who knew you when you walked through the door, who knew your family, went to the same little- league games, shopped where you shopped, called you by your first name, but most of all, could make local decisions immediately.

A bank dedicated to building our communities through providing loans and financing for homes and business, who believed in neighbors helping neighbors. A bank that was conservative, strong and fair, but most of all, a bank committed to its customers. A bank where you always had a friend you could talk to.

Citizens Community Bank: a dream come true for a group of men and women who expected more from a bank over a decade ago.

NAI Global Announces Commercial Property PowerSale

NAI Global’s Commercial Property PowerSale is a series of sealed bid and auction sales featuring premier investment properties throughout North America. To meet the demands of our customers–owners and financial institutions with troubled assets, as well as sellers with healthy properties that are having trouble finding a buyer in today's market, NAI Global has designed an accelerated marketing program to achieve rapid disposition results at the highest achievable pricing.

NAI Global’s Accelerated Marketing Program offers sellers the choice of three sales vehicles. Each effectively brings buyers and sellers together in successful transactions when traditional sales channels are bogged down: Live Auctions, Sealed Bids and NAI Global’s own unique twist, Sealed-Bid Plus™.

AUCTION, SEALED BID AND SEALED BID PLUS™

Through the support of Higgenbotham Auctioneers, NAI Global is expertly positioned to drive any of the three following disposition scenarios. Each of these programs is fully web based.

Live Auction

A live auction brings together all interested parties to ensure a successful sale. Bidders may participate in person, by phone or via the internet. The auction method allows the seller to set the timetable and recognize local and national exposure for a property or asset. Auctions are exciting and create urgency in the marketplace. Offers and counter-offers and the frustratingly slow negotiations process are swiftly turned into an exciting and competitive bidding match between serious prospective buyers.

Sealed-Bid

Though similar to a live auction in the basic process, with sealed bids each bidder has no idea of the competitors’ pricing strategy. This uncertainty often results competitive bidding that achieves a higher sales price. Sealed bid also allows for competitive bidding and the date certainty of an auction without the frenzy of an open outcry auction event.

Sealed-Bid Plus™

NAI Global is offering a unique twist to the sealed bid program to help sellers achieve the highest possible sale price for their assets. The process starts with submission of a sealed bid. Then the finalists are invited to participate in a brief open bidding process to secure the highest bid for that asset. This strategy has been proven to produce a winning bid that is 10-15% higher than the original sealed bid.
