First time bid winner, the following day did what was asked of me, when I had a question or concern I was helped promptly through Auction.com Chat. So far so good
Tyler K was an excellent support agent and I greatly appreciated all his effort and information I needed.
Worse real estate transaction ever, it took over 40 days from contract expiration date to close a CASH deal, seemed all they wanted to discuss cancellation fees more then finish the deal specially when we provided everything they wanted. Also made us pay for their title company who did NOTHING even though we had our own. BUYERS BEWARE No sense of urgency, never call only emails. Have done several real estate deals in nyc, nj and pa, will never buy through them again
Tyler was excellent in answering my questions. Very helpful and knowledgeable. This site is very user friendly.
Very patient and helpful. Thank you so much. Perfect. It was nice to get all my questions answered by someone very knowledgeable and courteous. Thank you so much for helping me learn about how to bid on Auction.com
Tyler K. Was very friendly answering my questions fully and professionally. My first time using the chat help and I was totally satisfied with the service. Well done. Thanks.
The agent helped me discern what type of foreclosure the property being auctioned off was. He was very quick to respond to my inquiries.
Used online chat to obtain an answer to a question. I received a prompt, courteous, response. Thank you!
I was please with the answers I received. I will be looking into placing bids on property with auction.com in the future.
Excellent, knowledgable and patience in response. I definitely would recommend having your questions answered in pursuit of posted opportunities.
1st they don't return the $2500 deposit even a "few" days after the end of the auction. Secondly i was bidding on a property that supposedly ended with 30 seconds remaining and they extended the auction a whole 24 hours. What a joke. Never again. Don't waste your time. On top of this when i hit the chat button 5 days after the auction ended to inquire about the hold on my credit card being lifted the representative made up his own policy and told me it would be a whole 7 days before the hold was released. The website clearly stated a few days after the end of the auction.
I had several questions and Restee C was able to answer them clearly and succinctly. I am new to the Auction.com platform so I appreciated Restee's patience.
Had some questions about the auction process, and Brenda was very helpful in answering my questions. I appreciate her knowledgeable responses.

I was pleased with how quickly someone responded to my question. I have had to wait several minutes when trying to chat with other businesses online. The quick response was a pleasant surprise.
I spoke to tyler who was very efficient. He answered all of my questions quickly and gave details not just general answers. Wonderful service!
Answer: I believe that the average potential buyer does not do their DUE diligence AHEAD of time. I first, read all the documents attached to the property I was interested in. Second, I drove by the property to check things out. Third, I went to the county recording office to see if there were any liens against them. Fourth, I ran the comps for the houses in the neighborhood and look at the rating for the schools within the district. Fifth, know what your limit is on what your final bid will be and do not bid over that amount just to win the auction. Other tips, try to get ahold of the agent that is representing the property and just ask them if they are willing to let you see the property inside, all they can say is no, right? I hope this helps. Wait, miscellaneous stuff, It is true, all auctions on this site are STRICKLY in favor of the seller... Negotiating is near to none.
Answer: The bank can and will bid against you to get a higher price (shilling). Read the web site. This practice is illegal everywhere else. But get the banks a higher price.
Answer: If you win the auction it is a binding contract. Contracts are to be E signed within like 2hrs I think. Most are sold as is. Due your homework before you buy! Mark
Answer: Have your real estate agent search title. If the property is occupied, you will have to get the people out yourself.
Answer: May we please have the property address you are inquiring about?
Answer: It means that the sale did not go though, there could be many reasons. And they are so opaque you will never find out what the reason was... maybe no financing, maybe spam bidding, maybe the seller backed out...
