Your Agency Stays in Control

With our easy-to-use platform, your agency is given the ability to list auctions for a preview for 30-45 days ahead of the 1-3 day bidding period, giving time to approve or decline each bidder based on whether they’ve met your requirements. We recommend a bid deposit/fee, photo ID, and confirmation that the individual is not delinquent on real estate taxes within your municipality.

The Transition is Easy

We have an A+ rating with BBB and an experienced Customer Service team that has helped many government agencies (and their bidders) make the transition to online auctions for their real estate sales. We will contact all your previous bidders and walk them through the easy registration form on our site.

The Process is Simple

Whether you are a government agency with many properties or just a few, you likely don't want to take the time and effort to create each listing individually and then market your property to interested buyers. Let us take care of the marketing and create the auction listings for you! We only ask that you provide us with an Excel document containing addresses, minimum bids, parcel #’s, and any other information you deem fit.

The Cost is Free

The winning bidder is responsible for all closing costs including admin fees. Your agency keeps the full amount of the winning bid. We provide a straightforward and fully transparent online bidding process that allows sellers to maintain control of their property throughout the auction timeline.

Customizable Attorney Interface

Attorneys associated with your county will have access to dashboards with the capability to Stay, Postpone, and set Upset Prices for all auctions assigned to their office.

Civil Process Software Integration

With capabilities to integrate with your civil process software or input the info with our customer service team, we can replicate and streamline the current auction process

Efficient Online Platform

We will develop a custom auction platform tailored to fit your specific terms and statutes, with the goal of mirroring your current auction process as much as possible.

Comprehensive Marketing

We will promote your sales to potential bidders in the local market through digital and direct mail campaigns, as well as showcase it to an established database of over 850,000 dedicated real estate buyers in North America and 5 million qualified buyers globally. Access to national and international investors, in addition to local and in-state investors attracted by our customized marketing plan for your auctions, increases competition and final sale revenues.

Unparalleled Support

We can provide all the following, and more! Sample terms and conditions of sale from other government agency foreclosure sales; custom URL to sort the list of your properties by a parcel or auction number of your choosing; For Sale signs to place on your properties; a press release to promote the sale(s); bid history and real-time reporting; and, the ability to cancel sales at any time before or after auction close (at no cost).

When I took office, I promised to find ways to use technology to better serve Chester County's residents and virtual sheriff's sales seemed like a tool worth exploring. Our sales were higher, our staff was freed up to better serve our constituents and we did not have to worry about public health concerns during our auction. Best of all, these services came at no cost to our county.
