FAQ's
We firmly believe vendor’s want three things when it comes to selling their property : the most amount of money, in the shortest possible time, with the least amount of stress. We cover all these aspects in one secure place!
Our platform is completely transparent and inclusive with the opportunity for bidders to bid anywhere at any time in the world with a more seamless and sophisticated solution.
Any changes made to the property or contract before the auction commences will be prominently displayed on the website prior to the start of the auction.
The Starting Bid is a figure that is set by the Real Estate agent in consultation with the owners, to begin the auction. It is determined as a figure below which it would not be in the best interests of the vendor to accept.
(e) The auctioneer may refuse to accept any bid that, in the auctioneer’s opinion, is not in the best interests of the seller.) *Refer to PRESCRIBED CONDITIONS OF SALE BY AUCTION Property, Stock & Business Agents Act (NSW) 2002, Part 6, s.77 and Regulation 2003 & 2007.
This is not a vendor bid.
YES. On the rare occasion that no bidders register for a property auction, the agent and the vendor may elect to push the property auction to a future date at no additional cost to the vendor.
YES. Under the legislation, the vendor has the right to make one bid through their nominated representative. If the vendor bid is made, it will be clearly displayed on the property page as a ‘Vendor Bid’.
It is possible but rare for changes to be made to property details OR the contract for sale of land, during the process of an Auction. In this event the auction will be suspended, the change made and notified to all bidders and the auction recommenced at a time convenient to all. This will be handled by the nominated agent.
The vendor may withdraw the property from sale at any time, but only prior to the fall of the virtual hammer.
Vendors and bidders are able to communicate with the real estate agent at any time during the auction process, and we would encourage this communication. Our system provides a longer period for people to seek advice from their agents and any other advisors. We do have a designated chat feature for bidders and vendors to communicate directly with the agent.
Co-Owners are permitted to bid on a property but the agents must notify all other registered bidders that this could take place and inform the other bidders what the bidder number is of the co-owner.
One of the unique features of SoldOnline is the pre-auction offer facility. If this function is switched on, buyers can put forward an offer and any conditions attached to that offer through our platform. If an offer is accepted before the auction starts, the property is marked “Sold Prior to Auction”.
SoldOnline has developed a “Private Treaty” platform where offers can be made by interested parties. Your property will be published with a “Minimum Suggested Offer” price and the preferred sales conditions such as settlement period and required deposit amount. We have a gauge that shows buyers how strong their offer is, and all offers are ranked by SoldOnline. We offer an extremely affordable process to ensure offers and any conditions attached to those offers are in writing, understood completely and handled professionally.
