CHICAGO-Sheldon Good & Co., among the nation’s largest real estate auction houses, is considering going public in order to finance international expansion and technology investments, says the company’s CEO.

“We have been looking at doing an IPO,” says Steve Good. “We have been growing rapidly and are looking at expanding internationally. Also, we think that taking our auctions to the Internet might be a good idea, but that will take a substantial investment in technology.”
