Offers, in the open
A board where every offer on a property can be seen.
The agent invites a buyer. The buyer proves their identity. The figure goes on the record. The owner sees the name. Other buyers see the number — not who placed it.
It is not an auction. There is no hammer. It is a shared offer file on the vendor’s clock — they set the cut-off, be it one week or four, and when it falls they take the best offer.
01
Invitation
Nobody finds a property here and bids. The listing agent sends a link to a named buyer. No invite, no offer.
02
Register, then identity
The invitee creates a buyer record. The listing office confirms who they are. Until both are done, they cannot lodge.
03
The record and cut-off
Amounts and terms sit on the shared file until the vendor-set cut-off. Offers are non-binding expressions of interest. Owner and agent are notified together.
Who uses it
- Buyers
- You are invited. You show ID. You lodge a figure and see where you sit. You are not bidding against a clock.
- Owners
- You see every offer, with a name, as it arrives. Withdrawn offers stay on the file. Nothing is whispered and then denied.
- Agents
- You send the invitation from the CRM. Open-home check-in qualifies them. TrueBid keeps the ledger. The accepted result is filed back on the property.
What this is not
- Not an auction site. A sale can still go to auction later. This board does not call one.
- Not a public listing portal. You cannot browse homes and fire off offers.
- Not a place to hide a number. If it was offered, it stays visible.
Run by the office that holds the licence.
TrueBid is the offer board. The listing sits in the agency CRM. Invitations come from the agent. Identity is checked before a figure is lodged. That is the whole product a buyer or owner needs to understand.
