Why should I sell tax sales online?
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 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. GovDeals takes care of the marketing and creates 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 Transition from On-site to Online is Easy
