What is a timed auction?

A timed auction is an auction format where buyers participate online rather than in person. It is often used when buyers are in different locations to the selling agent or the property.

Timed auctions run for a set timeframe chosen as part of the campaign plan. During this period, buyers register and, once approved, can place bids online using a computer or smart device.

At the end of the auction timeframe, if the reserve price has been met, the highest bidder is the successful purchaser, subject to the standard requirements of the transaction set by the selling agent and the relevant rules in that location.
