How to be top bidder at Auction

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Seeking your dream home at an auction? 🤔 Here are some top tips for becoming the leading bidder!

Auctions can feel a bit nerve-wracking, but fear not! If you're prepping to bid on a home, here's the lowdown on successful strategies.

One common mistake? Sitting back and waiting. But guess what? That actually gives others more confidence! 😬 Instead, come in guns blazing!

Arrive with plenty of confidence and a wholehearted commitment to give it your all. Show other bidders you're serious and won't give in easily. It's all about mental endurance!

On the big day? Start boldly! Open the bidding confidently at a fair price. When someone else bids, go straight over the top. Take control and maintain the momentum in your favour.

Bid boldly, bid confidently, and keep your cool!

One fantastic thing about auctions for you, the buyer? You can see the last bid, unlike in a private sale. That transparency can make all the difference!

So, gear up, bring your best game, and own that auction! Your dream home might just be a bid away! 🏠💫
