The secrets of successful auction bidding

The auctioneer yells ‘Going once, going twice’, you’re the highest bidder but the property hasn't reached the reserve — and is about to be passed in.

The selling agent is pushing you to increase your bid by $10,000 and says you might win. What should you do?

Auctions are extremely emotional, high-pressure environments where it's too easy to spend more than planned, creating long-term financial stress.

Our experienced buyer's agents know how to secure a property at a great price, using well executed bidding strategies and knowing when to bid — or not. Sometimes it’s best to let the property pass in and negotiate afterwards. Are you confident you can capitalise on such a strategy?

No two auctions are the same. EPS auction bidders, with experience and successes gained from attending hundreds of auctions a year, know how to spot dummy bidders and deal with them. They also know when to question the auctioneer and make a strategic — and successful — bid.

EPS auction bidders understand auction rules and take a professional, calm, unemotional approach that gives you a strategic advantage.

If you’re not experienced in the often confusing, fast paced auction environment then be sure you have an EPS buyer's agent on your side!
