Your Real Estate Surplus Solution
Explore smarter methods to improve transparency, simplicity, and revenue.
The Future of Real Estate is now
The future of real estate sales is digital. Property listing platforms, crowdfunding sites, and virtual tours are all changing how real estate of every type is bought and sold. While real estate listing sites are growing in popularity due to ease of use, they fail to provide the hands-on experience of a personal transaction that keeps control in the hands of the seller.
Liquidity Services has the marketplaces to provide the best of both worlds.

Best for:
- Tax-defaulted & distressed real estate
- Tax lien & tax deed sales
- Foreclosure & seized properties

Why you Should Sell Foreclosure Auctions Online
Take monotonous tasks off your plate and consider a solution that handles the entire auction process (including deed preparations), provides targeted marketing to hundreds of thousands of dedicated real estate buyers, and increases sales - helping both the lenders and the person losing their home.
You Stay in Control
With our easy-to-use platform, your agency is given the ability to list auctions for a preview for 30-45 days ahead of the 1-3 day bidding period, giving time to approve or decline each bidder based on whether they’ve met your requirements. We recommend a bid deposit/fee, photo ID, and confirmation that the individual is not delinquent on real estate taxes within your municipality.
The Transition is Easy
We have an A+ rating with BBB and an experienced Customer Service team that has helped many government agencies (and their bidders) make the transition to online auctions for their real estate sales. We will contact all your previous bidders and walk them through the easy registration form on our site.
The Process is Simple
Whether you are a government agency with many properties or just a few, you likely don't want to take the time and effort to create each listing individually and then market your property to interested buyers. Let us take care of the marketing and create the auction listings for you! We only ask that you provide us with an Excel document containing addresses, minimum bids, parcel #’s, and any other information you deem fit.
The Cost is Free
The winning bidder is responsible for all closing costs including admin fees. Your agency keeps the full amount of the winning bid. We provide a straightforward and fully transparent online bidding process that allows sellers to maintain control of their property throughout the auction timeline.
Customizable Attorney Interface
Attorneys associated with your county will have access to dashboards with the capability to Stay, Postpone, and set Upset Prices for all auctions assigned to their office.
Civil Process Software Integration
With capabilities to integrate with your civil process software or input the info with our customer service team, we can replicate and streamline the current auction process.
