Traditional property auctions can already be daunting to most buyers, but moving it to an online space poses a whole other set of rules and guidelines.

If you’re worried about what to expect and what you need to do to prepare yourself for a different setup, you’re in for a treat.

Today, we’re going to take a look at online property auctions. We’ll be talking about the path online auctions were expected to take (and if any of it became a reality), the challenges buyers agents face, how different online auctions are in comparison to the traditional setup and much, much more.
