Why sell on ?

Buyers are more comfortable in buying via this method as they can bid from the comfort of their own home or office without feeling intimidated by the auctioneer. All buyers’ bids are recorded along with their full contract details so the agent can not only follow up the losing bidder but all other bidders that participated in that auction. Our experience shows that Real Estate buyers are very comfortable buying using this system. A property can be listed in Rapid Sale, Tender, Auction or a variation of any style.

Selling by Auction AuctionCentre.com.au can provide an auctioneer if required however most real estate franchises provide access to an auctioneer for their offices. To auction a property in AuctionCentre.com.au the office needs to assign the auctioneer who will be controlling the auction and set up the auctioneers profile. There is no limit to the number of auctioneers that can be set up in AuctionCentre.com.au for any single office. Once in the system auctioneers can be assigned to the appropriate listings. Note: All auctions must by law have a licensed auctioneer in charge of the auction and the AuctionCentre.com.au will not allow you to auction a property until you assign an auctioneer to that property. Once you have selected the property and assigned an auctioneer you can create the auction details including date and time the auction will close, contracts, terms and conditions, reserve, bid increments etc. Full control over the auction can be accessed through the administration area by the agent or administrator.

Terms and Conditions when selling by Auction and Tender While AuctionCentre.com.au has its own terms and conditions for selling by auction and tender it is mandatory that agents upload a PDF with their own terms and conditions for the property they are selling.

Advertising and Promotion Advertise the property as you would for any auction/tender/for sale and simply direct buyers to and ensure you include the item number within advertising material When selling by Auction you can use two methods –You can sell exclusively online Or –Invite potential bidders to your auction rooms when the auction is closing and provide them with a computer to bid if they wish If inviting bidders to your office you should include something similar to the below example in your advertising: “Buyers who for whatever reason do not have access to the Internet are invited to our office at (office name and address) and we will assist you with the process. Buyers wishing to attend this auction at our office please arrive at least one hour before auction close giving you enough time to register.”

Auction Progress While an auction is in progress the agent/auctioneer/administrator can change the reserve and bid increments. You are able to view the number of unique visitors that have had a detailed view of the property and give feedback to your vendor.

Post Auction If the property sells at auction a congratulations will be sent to the buyer along with instructions of what to do next. The buyer will also receive a copy of the contracts, terms and conditions and any other relevant information they require. The buyer can print out the contracts, fill in their details and send back to the agent with the deposit or alternatively the buyer can forward the contracts to their solicitor where they can be printed and signed before being sent back to the agent with the deposit. (Same procedure can apply to Rapid Sale or Tender providing all contracts and details are on the site) The nominated sales agent will receive an with full name and contact details to follow up the buyer to make sure the transaction runs smoothly If an item has been passed in and you reach agreement with any one of the bidders you can select that bidder. Put in the agreed amount and the same and documents will be forwarded onto the successful purchaser. When using this function it is advised that agents take great care that the information is accurate. If you have the full contract terms and conditions loaded with a listing in Rapid Sales area and you reach a private agreement the same s can also be sent. Agents Note: Should the buyer send the contract to his solicitor to finalise the sale you should not allow the solicitor to change any of the terms in the contract that was won without seeking legal advice as the terms on this site are binding and once changed after sale may leave the door open.
