Auction

Type

How Properties Can Be Offered

Realty Offers Now uses the selling format that best fits the property and the seller's goals. The primary competitive format is a timed Online Auction.

PRIMARY COMPETITIVE FORMAT

Online Auction

Buyers register for the property, review the published terms and available documents, and place bids online before the scheduled deadline. Depending on the property-specific terms, the sale may be absolute, subject to a reserve, or subject to seller confirmation.

PROPERTY-SPECIFIC FEATURE

Buy It Now / Direct Offer

When displayed on a specific property, Buy It Now or Direct Offer is a purchase feature that may allow a buyer to submit an offer before the auction deadline. Availability and acceptance are governed by that property's published terms.

OFFER-TO-SOLD — IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION

Offer-to-Sold is not an auction type. It is a two-phase marketing strategy that can begin as a Traditional Listing and transition to an Online Auction if the property is not sold during the initial market period.
