Give Every Genuine Buyer a Path to Participate
From bidder registration to online participation and post-auction follow-up, Auctions Live supports the complete auction journey.
Why Auctions Live Should Be Enabled from Day One
An auction may last only minutes, but the campaign starts weeks earlier. Enabling Auctions Live from the beginning helps prepare buyers, create accessible participation pathways and support the property from campaign launch through to auction day and beyond.
The auction technology should be ready when buyer interest begins.
Buyers research, attend inspections, organise finance and decide how they may participate throughout the campaign. Enabling Auctions Live early gives the agency time to promote registration, prepare bidders and establish the appropriate auction-day pathways before they are needed.
One connected workflow from campaign launch to post-auction.
The earlier the auction technology is enabled, the earlier it can begin supporting the property's campaign.
Launch
Publish the auction pathway and make registration options available.
Prepare
Give interested buyers time to register and become auction-ready.
Compete
Support physical and digital participation on auction day.
Review
Retain useful bidding information and auction records afterwards.
It is more than a fee for online bidding.
Auctions Live forms part of the digital infrastructure supporting the auction campaign. It helps the agency prepare buyers before auction day, manage participation and bidding during the auction, and retain useful information afterwards.
How Auctions Live fits into each auction style.
The auction method may change, but the objective remains the same: prepare buyers and provide a clear pathway to participate.
Onsite
Keep the traditional auction at the property while adding digital registration, livestreaming, electronic bid recording and approved online participation.
In-Room / Multi-Lot
Coordinate multiple properties through one auction event with bidder preparation, auction order management, presentation, livestreaming and online participation.
Virtual
Conduct a live auction digitally, allowing approved bidders to participate remotely while the auctioneer manages the competition in real time.
Timed
Allow approved buyers to compete online across a defined bidding period with scheduled closing and configurable extension rules.
Do not make the campaign predict where every buyer will be on auction day.
Buyers' circumstances change. Where online bidding is enabled, an approved buyer can participate directly through Auctions Live rather than necessarily appointing another person to bid on their behalf, subject to applicable agency and jurisdictional requirements.
Better preparation creates a clearer auction day.
Electronic bidder registration can be made available during the campaign using website links, property-specific registration links and QR codes. Agency users can review registrations, approve bidders and prepare bidder information before the auction begins.
What if the property passes in?
The auction campaign still produces useful information. Bid history, registered bidder information and auction activity can help the sales team understand what occurred and prioritise immediate post-auction conversations.
How to explain the Auctions Live expense to your vendor.
We cannot know at the beginning of the campaign where every eventual buyer will be on auction day, so we want those pathways available before they are needed.
If somebody genuinely wants to buy your property, our goal is to make it as straightforward as reasonably possible for them to become auction-ready and compete."
Give every genuine buyer a clear pathway to participate.
Prepare the property. Prepare the buyers. Reduce unnecessary barriers. Create the best possible environment for competition.
