All bids are made via the online-bidding platform. This gives every viewer a fair and equal chance to make a bid, all of which are then logged into a digital bidding log.
Bieden & Wonen is a broker with a new concept. With the online-bidding platform, Bieden & Wonen gives control of the buying and selling process back to the buyer and seller. All bids are logged into a digital bid log that is made public afterwards.
Our goal is to inform you as best as we possibly can throughout the entire process, so that you know more and can respond better. Honestly, without any bargaining or favoritism.
Before you can make a bid as a bidder, you will first go through a screening process. After creating an account, we will then check the financial data and the identity of the bidder. This way, we will then also know for sure that the bidder has indeed viewed the property or has scheduled a viewing.
After you have completed your account – including any resolutive conditions – and have been approved, it is time to make your offer. You can create an account by searching for the property in our range of properties. You can then create a bidder account when you are on the property ad. Find your home via the heading ‘Properties’ and search for the home you want to bid on.
On the detailed page of the property you will find the start- and end time of the bidding round. After placing your bid you will receive a confirmation by e-mail / WhatsApp / SMS.
With open bidding, everyone sees each other’s bids in real time. As a bidder, you can place as many bids as you like until the end of the bidding round. You can recognize your bid by your bidder ID. By clicking on the bidder ID, anyone can view any resolutive conditions.
Closed bidding works much in the same manner as with any other broker. You can submit a bid until the end of the bidding round. The difference with open bidding is that the bids are not made public.
As one of the first brokers in the Netherlands, we introduced the digital bidding log. All bids are automatically logged in here.
After the end of a bidding round and after the expiry of the cooling-off period and any resolutive conditions of the winning bid, this bidding log will be made public with the home advertisement.
The bid log will automatically released in your own Bieden & Wonen-dashboard.
Bidders are verified through a personal identification of the bidder (e.g. a legitimate ID) and soon by an IDIN verification.
With open bidding everyone can follow each other’s bids in real time and with closed bidding the bidding round is completely protected. After the house has been delivered, the automated bidding log is visible to every bidder after the house has been delivered.
If the home is not awarded by the seller to one of the bidders, Bieden & Wonen will organize a new bidding round.
If no bids have been received, Bieden & Wonen will organize new bidding rounds until the house has been sold. We do this because we want all bids to be logged, so that everyone has 100% certainty that bids have never been tampered with. Optionally, a seller can consult with the sales broker to make a proposal for a price change.
After the viewing you can immediately create a bidder account via the link. After that, your account will be validated on our website. You will then find the period within which you can place a bid on the property in the property advertisement.
All homes have a fixed start and end bidding time.
During the bidding it is possible to use our automatic bidding robot. How does this work? The first time you want to bid, you immediately place your highest bid (that is your bid ceiling). But you do check ‘proxy bid’. Our system will now place the first bid for you (from price + minimum bid step). If you are now outbid, the system will immediately place the next bid on your behalf, again with the minimum bid step of that property. You will simply get notifications regarding this process via e-mail.
You will automatically receive notifications by e-mail of all bids you make, when you are outbid or when you have set up a proxy/automatic bid. This automatic notification expires when a new bidding round is started.
Bids are binding, although the bidder always has the legal 3-day cooling-off period after signing the purchase contract that every buyer has (and any resolutive conditions).
Then the bidding round is automatically extended by an additional 5 minutes. This will continue indefinitely, to continue to give all bidders a fair an equal chance.
No. The home can also be awarded by the home owner to one of the other bidders with, for example, better resolutive conditions in the seller’s opinion.
They remain stored in the system, but are no longer displayed.
If no bids have been received, Bieden & Wonen will organize new bidding rounds until the house has been sold. Optionally, a seller can consult with the sales broker to make a proposal for a price change.
If the home is not awarded by the seller to one of the bidders, Bieden & Wonen will organize a new bidding round.
The bids remain visible for at least 3 days after the online bidding round. Upon request, a bidder can have the bids removed. Bieden & Wonen only removes the bids when the bidder has indicated that he no longer wishes to participate in a possible new bidding round.
Yes, the buyer always has the statutory 3-day cooling-off period after signing the preliminary purchase contract.
This means that the seller is never obliged to sell the property to one of the bidders. The seller retains the right to award the property.
After the end of the bidding round and after the cooling-off period and any resolutive conditions (of the winning bid) have expired, the bidding log will be published with the property advertisement.
