Our Story

It all started with the sale of Australia’s first house sold online 

Our Online Auction Story: Where it all began

Webtron had a vision for the future. We then created a media sensation. An Australian real estate first.

Some are leaders others are followers. Webtron are clearly leaders in online auction software.

Webtron Online Auction first opened its doors in 2007 to help a real estate agency (Harrington Earl) create history and become the first in Australia to sell a house online using a streaming live webcast auction format. The Melbourne home sold above the reserve to an online bidder from Perth for $526,000. We think based on this event it’s safe to say Webtron was and continues to be ahead of the curve for online auction software technology.

From that day, we knew that with today’s powerful technology at our fingertips, geography should never again prevent buyers and sellers from connecting – no matter how high value the purchase.
