Frequently asked questions

Yes, when completing the bidding registration you will be able to nominate your bidding preference. You can nominate to have either your representing agent bid on your behalf or a member from the auction team display your bids.

This will differ depending on the property. All offers made throughout the campaign prior to auction will be displayed to the seller; however, it remains entirely the seller’s decision whether or not they wish to counter, accept, or continue down the auction path towards auction day. We encourage you to submit an offer if you are interested as the majority of properties sell prior to auction day.

In order to bid at an Auction you will need to register – buyers are able to register to bid by going to the property page on the harcourtsauctions.com website, scrolling down to the property portal, clicking ‘register to bid’ – buyers will then be walked through the process to provide their contact information, add their representing agent, decide their bidding preference and nominate any variations to the auction terms. The buyer will then be transported to “SignBlue” Harcourts Auctions exclusive electronic signing platform to complete signing of bidding documentation. Please note: an agent cannot register on behalf of their buyer. The Buyer must complete registration and agree to auction terms.

Yes, our mission is to involve all agents. We hope to build a supportive and informed agent community on both sides of a transaction. All compensation is negotiable whether it be via traditional offer before auction or by being included in the terms of the bidding registration.

No. No fees, no cost. That’s the short and the long answer. At Harcourts Auctions, we believe in the power of transparency, so you can trust that we never charge any additional fees or charges to buyers for purchasing at auction. Many other Auction Companies charge the buyer anywhere from 5%- 15% of the sale price for buying at auction; however, with Harcourts Auctions, you can rest assured that you are getting the best value for your money. We want you to be confident in your purchase.

Yes, you can make an offer on a property. Offers can be made via the traditional process of having your agent write and submit an offer to the listing agent (or have the listing agent write the offer) or offers can be submitted through the Harcourts Auctions Property Portal. All offers are presented to the Seller by the Listing Agent, and if the Seller decides to, they may accept any offer prior to auction day. However, it is important to note that if your offer is not accepted before auction day, you can still register to bid and re-present your offer amount in the live auction. Our team is here to help guide you through the process and ensure that you have the best experience possible.
