Taking the pressure out of auction day, where we HELP you bid on the property of your dreams, from First Bid to Hammer Fall.
In a busy market, real estate agents are meeting with dozens of buyers for every property they list. In some cases, they can’t remember every person who is interested in properties in their area.
By engaging The Home Buyer Helper, we are able to build relationships with agents in the areas you are seeking and access listings as soon as they come up and in some cases, before they even hit the market.
Know your budget, have your finance in order, and inspect the property thoroughly. Auctions are unconditional—if you win, you’re legally bound to purchase.
Yes, it’s crucial. You must be confident you can secure financing since you can’t make an offer subject to finance at auction.
If the property doesn’t sell at auction (i.e., it’s passed in), you may have an opportunity to negotiate with the seller directly.
Some common strategies include bidding early and confidently to set the tone, or holding back until the property is “on the market.” Understanding the crowd and the agent’s behavior can also help guide your timing.
