Easy. Efficient. No cost to the county.
With GRM Tax Sale, capitalizing on the tremendous time and money-saving advantages of online tax certificate auctions couldn’t be easier. Our extensive experience in data management and unparalleled security measures make the technical aspects of the auction the easiest part for the county.
Easy. No hardware or software to buy. No integration projects for your IT department. Manatron and Realauction manage the data transfer from your tax software system to your custom web site.
Efficient. You don’t need to rent a physical location for the auction or hire an auctioneer. That saves time and money. In addition, GRM Tax Sale includes Automatic Clearing House setup (ACH) so winning bidders can pay for certificates through the ACH wizard on the web site. W-9 forms are generated automatically, saving your staff even more time.
No cost to you. Realauction assumes all responsibility for the online auction, including website construction, deployment and customer support. We also handle all advertising, collections and customer service. Our public relations government specialist works with you to increase awareness of your auction. We mail a welcome package – at no charge to you – to all previous bidders.
Better for investors – better for county staff. Realauction posts all relevant property and tax certificate information on your tax certificate auction website, readily available to investors. All that’s needed is a web-browser and access to the Internet. Investors may register, review property data and enter bids at any time until the auction ends. Once the auction closes, winners may easily pay for certificates through the online ACH wizard on your website.
Realauction conducts online and in person training to familiarize bidders with the process and increase participation in the auction. Bidders can practice on a “test” site before the auction starts. We also provide full telephone and online support throughout the auction.
Maximum control. When transactions are complete, data from the auction is imported back into your tax system. Your staff receives detailed reports and Realauction reviews the steps to ensure all goals have been met.
