Online Real Estate Auctions - Advice and Information From RealtyBid.com

There are many different reasons why agents and sellers choose to sell a home through an online home auction on RealtyBid.com. But, there may be no reason that is closer to the heart of real estate agents than the fact that RealtyBid.com online auctions force potential buyers “off the fence.”
All real estate agents have at one time (and probably many times) dealt with the “fence sitting” potential buyer. Knowing that there is an interested potential buyer out there who is not making a move—who is taking the “wait and see” approach—is probably one of the most frustrating circumstances for an agent to encounter.
However, what we know to be true at RealtyBid.com after selling more than 12,000 homes via online auctions is that because online auctions have a set timeframe (RealtyBid.com auctions are set for seven, 14 or 21 days, with 14-day auctions being the most common), they force potential buyers to a point of action. If a potential buyer is interested in a specific property, he can no longer wait around to see if the seller is going to drop the price—he is forced to compete via the online bidding process or risk losing the property. This can be an invaluable tool for an agent representing a seller who is truly motivated to “move” a property.
