Seller’s Guide
OK Online Auction is a relatively new, innovative and pioneering platform for buying and selling property.
It provides all the benefits synonymous with traditional auctions, including speed, certainty of sale and transparency. But it also comes with the added advantage of being able to bid pressure-free from the comfort of your own home or office via desktop, tablet or mobile phone.

01. Market value appraisal
Contact an OK Online Auction team member for an appraisal of your property.

Subject to receipt of the above information, OK Online Auction will advise you whether they think your property is suitable for sale by auction. If not, then an alternative method of sale will be suggested.
04. Maximum reserve
A maximum reserve price will be discussed and pre-agreed with the vendor.
05. Terms of engagement
Once the parties agree that a property will be entered into the auction, terms of engagement will be completed between OK Online Auction and the vendor. This agreement will also outline OK Online Auction’s commission fee and all associated auction entry costs.
