Bidding
at Auction
Buying at auction puts you in control and gives you access to real opportunities you won’t always find in traditional sales. It’s transparent, fast, and driven by true market demand. In short, auctions remove guesswork. You compete, you bid, you win. It’s one of the smartest and most decisive ways to buy property.

Private Treaty
A private treaty on auction is essentially a hybrid approach between a traditional private sale and an auction. Here’s how it works:
-
The property is listed with a set price or guide price, but the sale is still conducted under auction rules.
-
Interested buyers can negotiate directly with GetmoBIDr or agent before the auction or if the property does not sell on aution, similar to a private treaty.
-
If no private sale is agreed upon, the property may proceed to a formal auction, where buyers compete in real-time.
-
This method gives the seller flexibility to secure a sale quickly while still encouraging competitive bidding to potentially achieve a higher price.
-
Buyers benefit from clear terms and transparency, but also the opportunity to negotiate if they prefer not to wait for the auction.
It’s essentially “auction speed with private negotiation options.”
