Auction Insights

Domitila ensures that asset information is accurate, bidders have clear instructions, and all logistical aspects are well-coordinated to contribute to a smooth auction process. Attention to detail when organising and running an auction is imperative. Buyer engagement is important to provide responsive communication, for a seamless bidding experience, which can make a significant difference to the auction success. Flexibility is essential for an auction. No two auctions are the same, and being able to adapt to different asset types, market conditions, and buyer behaviours ensures smooth execution.

Collaboration

Working closely with the MBA team to coordinate asset cataloguing, and ensure all necessary documentation is in place, highlights the need for effective collaboration to establish a repeated auction. Clear communication with the wider team is key, as it helps streamline logistics, resolve any issues quickly, and keep the auction timeline on track. Additionally, assisting in managing bidder inquiries aids in making sure all auction processes run efficiently. By working together, we create a well-organised and transparent auction experience for both buyers and clients.

Client Coordination

From asset cataloguing to final sale, it is important to provide consistent updates on the progress of client’s auctions. Auction client relationships fall under answering question, addressing concerns and providing timely feedback on the auction’s success. Facilitating clear communication, attention to detail, results in an auction that aligns with client’s goals and expectation for both the process and the outcome. By focusing on their needs and maintaining transparency, we can exceed those expectations and deliver successful results.
