Frequently Asked Questions
How experienced are 1300Bidders?
We are an independent BIDDING service with over 30 years of combined industry experience and knowledge of the Melbourne property market. Our team is led by fully licensed real estate agents who can help ensure you gain the upper hand at an auction and secure a desired property for the lowest price.
What is a professional bidder?
A professional bidder will attend an auction with or on behalf of a client. The BIDDER will bid on behalf of the client, exercising professional judgment and skill.
What can a professional bidder do?
A professional bidder can act on the client’s behalf at an auction. Letting a professional bidder do the work at an auction saves the client time and means the client can rest assured that a professional is using strategy and a little psychology to bid in the clients best interest. Professionals have years of experienced, so it is a no-brainer to get a professional to bid on your behalf. All for less than a cost of a bid!
When is a property considered ‘Sold’ at an auction?
Can a professional bidder act without the client present at an auction?
A professional bidder can bid at an auction without the client present. A person who wishes to avoid the stress of auctions, does not have the time or experience, or cannot physically attend for whatever reason, can appoint a proxy bidder to bid on their behalf. The client must sign an auction bidding service authority document and provide written instructions to the 1300 BIDDER PTY LTD containing their maximum purchase price limit and any settlement terms and conditions.
In any case where a proxy bidder is used a Limited Power of Attorney is required to empower our agent to sign the contract on the client’s behalf where the bid is successful. 1300Bidders always recommends that clients seek independent legal advice when preparing a power of attorney form. We can refer clients to cost-effective and trustworthy legal firms. They can review the Contract of Sale and Section 32 Vendors statement and prepare the Power of Attorney document at no extra charge if the client requires it.
Will you assist with the paperwork?
Our job is to make the buying property process as stress-free for the client as possible. The licensed estate agent assigned to you will help you with all the paperwork including contract signing. This is only after the agent has negotiated on your behalf, at an auction or private sale, to ensure your best interests are represented on the sales document. We can also recommend a lawyer to you if you wish to seek legal advice prior to purchasing.
Can you facilitate building inspections?
Do you help property investors?
Absolutely! Our extensive and cherished industry knowledge and experience means we are primed to assist property investors search for and secure properties with potential for capital growth. We work with clients individually to cater to specific investment needs and types. We can direct investors to off-market and pre-market sales, not publicly advertised, across Australia.
What does "on the market" and "Reserve price" mean?
‘Reserve Price’ and ‘On the Market’ are special terms used at auctions. A ‘Reserve Price’ is the minimum price set by the seller, under which the seller is not required to sell the property at an auction. A seller is not required to disclose their Reserve Price prior to the auction and is not required to sell the property, even to the highest bidder, if the Reserve Price is not met.
When an auctioneer declares that a property is ‘on the market’, it means that the Reserve Price has been met by a bidder and whatever price you offer subsequently is the real deal if it turns out to be successful. Usually we will bid lightly at the start, but once the property is ‘On the Market’ we will employ all strategy and psychology to bid in our client’s favour.
Do I need an auction bidding strategy?
Going to an auction without a strategy can make an intimidating event even more scary especially for someone who has never attended a property auction before. In the end, success will mostly depend on how much you are willing to pay. But your chances for success are higher if you go into the auction with a strategy and a plan. Keep these three tips in mind:
– Do your research and work out how much the property is truly worth.
– Commit to an upper limit price and write it down.
– Take the emotion out of bidding and control your body language.
Getting 1300 BIDDER to do the bidding on your behalf means we can provide unbiased advice on the true market value of the property, help you commit to an upper limit price with ease, and develop a strategy so that you enter the auction or negotiations with a competitive edge over the other potential buyers.
Property owners generally prefer to deal with a licensed estate agent who they know and trust and will be more likely to confidently make a sale. Our reputation around Melbourne’s property market means that when we act on your behalf we use our relationships and communication skills as well as reasoning and strategy.
