What is a silent auction?
During a silent sale, there is no sign in the property's yard. The sale takes place "in silence," so to speak. Houses offered for sale through a silent auction are designed to guarantee the privacy of the seller. Interested parties are screened first and you avoid letting viewers in without any intention of buying.
As a seller, you decide for yourself on which websites your house will be presented and at what speed the sales process will progress. In this way, you remain fully in control. We handle your data confidentially. A silent sale is equivalent to a discreet sale.
Why choose quiet sales?
There may be reasons why it is not always desirable to publicly announce the sale of your home. This is usually for privacy or security reasons or because you simply do not want to share it with those around you. In addition, you may not necessarily want to sell the home in the short term, but still want to market it to a specific audience to see what the interaction is with your home. You may also want to sell your home only under certain conditions or have already found a potential buyer for your home. These can be all kinds of reasons to choose a silent auction.
Exclusive properties through silent auction
You won't find the most exclusive homes on Funda. Exclusive homes are often offered elsewhere, an option for this is to initiate a silent auction. Exclusive homes are often offered through a silent auction. This involves a very specific target group, which you can better identify through a silent auction. Searchers within the top segment are not always active on platforms such as Funda. As a seller of an exclusive home you are not waiting for viewers without an immediate buying intention. By opting for a silent auction, this group is excluded.
Advantages of a silent auction
Selling your home in foreclosure brings many benefits:
1. Seller privacy is maintained because relatively few viewings take place and not everyone with no intent to buy gets to see your home.
2. Within the sales process, there is plenty of room and attention for consultation regarding sales opportunities, duration and price.
3. Those who are shown the property always have a buying intention and are serious candidates.
4. Much own control regarding actions and data within the silent sales process
Disadvantages of a silent auction
In addition to the many benefits of a silent sale, this silent way of selling also comes with limitations.
1. There is not always an assurance that the best price will be paid for the property. This is because not all sales channels are included in the process and therefore the range is lower.
2. The silent sales process may take longer than a standard sales process. Again, this is due to the lower range. When the sale is in a hurry, this is usually not the most appropriate option.
