Connect Onsite Property Auctions with Online Bidding
What Software Supports Both Onsite and Online Property Auctions?
Modern real estate auction software should support the auction happening at the property while also giving approved remote buyers a way to watch, register and bid online.
The Short Answer
Auctions Live supports both traditional onsite property auctions and online participation within the same auction environment.
An auctioneer can conduct the auction at the property while registered remote bidders participate online where enabled. Livestreaming can also allow buyers, vendors and viewers to follow the auction without being physically present.
How Does an Onsite Auction Work with Online Bidding?
The physical auction remains at the centre of the event. The auctioneer conducts the sale in front of the property while the Auctions Live platform connects approved online bidders and remote viewers to the same auction.
Buyers Register
Buyers can complete the required bidder registration process before the auction, including online registration where it is made available by the agency.
The Auction Is Livestreamed
Remote buyers and viewers can follow the auction online when livestreaming has been enabled for the property.
Online Buyers Participate
Approved online bidders can place bids remotely while the auctioneer continues to manage bidders attending the property.
Why Combine Onsite and Online Property Auctions?
An onsite auction creates a strong physical auction environment, but not every interested buyer can always attend the property on auction day. Adding online participation gives agencies another way to connect those buyers with the live auction.
Bring Remote Buyers Into the Auction
Buyers who are interstate, overseas, working or otherwise unable to attend may still be able to participate remotely where online bidding is enabled.
Keep the Traditional Auction Experience
Agencies do not need to replace the onsite auction. The auctioneer can continue conducting the event at the property while online technology extends access beyond the physical crowd.
Increase Auction Visibility
Livestreaming allows more buyers, vendors and interested viewers to follow the auction even if they are not registered to bid.
One Connected Auction Workflow
Bidder registration, online bidding, livestreaming and live auction controls can operate through the same Auctions Live ecosystem rather than separate disconnected tools.
How Does Auctions Live Help the Auction Team?
Auctions Live is designed to support the people conducting the auction as well as the buyers participating in it. The auction team can manage bidder activity and auction information while the auctioneer remains focused on conducting the sale.
The platform can support in-person bidders, online bidders and, where required, telephone bidding through an agency representative. This gives agencies greater flexibility in how buyers participate without changing the underlying auction process.
One Auction, Multiple Ways to Participate
The purpose of hybrid auction technology is not to turn every property auction into an online-only event. It is to give agencies the option to combine the traditional onsite auction with modern digital access.
Auctions Live allows buyers at the property and approved remote bidders to participate in the same auction, while livestreaming can extend the audience beyond those physically standing in front of the home.
Does Auctions Live Support Other Auction Formats?
Yes. The same Auctions Live platform also supports in-room and multi-lot auctions, fully virtual auctions, timed auctions and livestream-only events.
This means an agency can choose the auction format that best suits each property or campaign without needing a completely different auction platform each time.
