FAQs
-
What am I bidding on?
A: REALTORS® bid on the opportunity to represent sellers and buyers during a real estate transaction. The amount of each bid is the sales commission or flat fee you are willing to accept for performing the services outlined in the auction description.
-
What is the cost to me?
A: 5% of the gross commission collected by the agent is expected to be paid if a lead results in a sale. An estimate is disclosed by the system prior to accepting each bid.
-
Why would I bid for a lead where my compensation decreases with each bid?
A: Buyers and sellers can restrict bidding by specifying a minimum AgentRank™ for auctions. If a REALTOR'S® AgentRank™ does not meet the minimum, he/she will be unable to bid. Specifying a higher AgentRank™ creates an artificial shortage of REALTORS® available to bid resulting in a higher commission. REALTORS® who maintain a high AgentRank™ will naturally command higher commissions.
