Steps to: Manually register a buyer for an auction
First, navigate to the buyers tab in your campaign:
- From your dashboard, click on the relevant campaign folder.
- Navigate to the Sell tab.
- Click on the Buyers tab to view your registered and pending bidders.
- Click the + Bidder button on the right-hand side.
You’ll now see two options for manual registration.
Option 1: Register a Bidder Outside of Realtair
This option is perfect for last-minute registrations right before an auction starts. It allows you to record the bidder with minimal details so you can proceed with the auction.
Simply assign them a bidder number, hand them the paddle, and you’re ready to go.
Option 2: Full Manual Registration
For a more detailed registration, you can capture the buyer’s information directly in Realtair.
- Choose the registrant type: Select whether you're registering the buyer directly or a representative acting on their behalf.
- Upload ID: Upload a copy of their identification. If you’re using an iPad or mobile device, you can take a photo and upload it instantly.
- Assign a bidder number: Enter a number for the bidder. The system will alert you if that number is already taken.
- Add joint buyers (optional): To register multiple people (like joint purchasers), click Add Buyer and repeat the steps.
- Confirm eligibility: Tick the box to confirm the buyer is legally entitled to purchase property in Australia.
- Submit: When you’re done, click Submit.
Important Information
- This manual process is only for in-person buyers, not for online registrations.
- Once you click Submit, the system automatically approves the buyer, and they are immediately ready to bid.
