Background
Webtron, a well known online auction software company, has built a secure online auction platform with a full suite of selling options with clients worldwide.
How it works:
Now, for the first time ever, we are making it possible to see, hear and interact through the eyes of an auctioneer during live real-estate auctions. There’s no turning back. This cannot be unseen. We believe auctioneers and sellers/vendors deserve better. And since we are the people that come up with the ideas in the first place, thats what we’ve done again.”
The benefit for the sellers when the auctioneer is plugged into the VR set is they get to see what the auctioneer sees in real time.
The sellers feel like they are in the thick of the action. Never before has a seller had the ability to directly see what the auctioneer sees and/or communicate with them in real time to provide instructions to put the home ‘on the market’.
This means that for the first time, vendors will have control of the auction. No more peeking through the curtains.
No virtual reality headset is needed for the sellers, they can watch/communicate via laptop/tablet or smartphone.
In a high pressure scenario, where the seller’s biggest asset is on the line, it is crucial for the auctioneer/vendor to be able to have real time communication without breaking the momentum/emotion of the auction.
This is a world first that will allow all parties to feel completely immersed in the action and make real time/split second decisions.
