AuctionTech: Launches digital offer management solution for real estate sales with market leader in Switzerland
PRESS RELEASE AuctionTech launches digital offer management solution Berlin, December 13, 2019 – AuctionTech, Berlin-based software provider of tailor-made online auction solutions, rolls out its already successfully running “Digital Offer Management” to Switzerland and has formed a far-reaching partnership with market leader RE/MAX Switzerland. RE/MAX is the largest real estate agent network worldwide and unrivalled market leader in Switzerland. The new Digital Offer Management solution is marketed under the name “DAVE” and consists of an innovative online solution, which completely digitises and simplifies the real estate sales and pricing process. The Digital Offer Management process was developed as a white-label solution by AuctionTech and is already being used with outstanding results by the Austrian real estate market leader: So far over 600 properties have been successfully marketed via the Digital Offer Management solution, which achieved on average 5-10% better prices than traditional offline sales. In addition, the entire purchase offer process is 100% transparent, secure and fair, as everything is digitally documented, and customers always know exactly where they stand and thus have a fair chance to make their best offer on their dream home. In addition, this innovative online solution enables a much faster sale completion and saves real estate agents about 30% of their time thanks to fully digitised processes and integration into existing IT systems. Rainer Jöhl, CEO of RE/MAX Switzerland, sees the Digital Offer Management solution developed by AuctionTech as a groundbreaking innovation that completely redefines the real estate sales process, adding: “The Digital Offer Management solution is a real game changer, thanks to its clear, trustworthy and efficient process, which provides sellers, buyers and agents alike with outstanding benefits. This is the way real estate will be sold in the future!”. The Digital Offer Management solution has already been successfully tested in Switzerland over a period of several months with outstanding customer feedback and is now available in four languages in all parts of the country. Jan Thiel, CEO of AuctionTech, views the great success of the Digital Offer Management as further evidence that online auction-based sales solutions create the best possible market transparency and thus achieve the fairest market price for all participants in the shortest possible time. At the same time, he considers the real estate agent as a pivotal role, but also believes that this role will be different in the future, adding: “The estate agent will not be replaced by technology but digital solutions will play a key role in supporting the agent in the sales & pricing process so the agent can focus on what s/he does best: sourcing and sales advice for unique real estate properties.” Building on its successes in Austria and Switzerland, AuctionTech plans to roll out the Digital Offer Management solution to other European countries and expand its range of tailor-made B2B software solutions for real estate sales.
