This is a platform that favors sellers, not buyers. It does seem legit, however, despite me not liking a few things. Hence, the proxy bids going all the way to the top of what a buyer is max willing to bid instead of incrementally as other bids are placed, and the platform bidding against investors on behalf of the seller. Both of these practices seem unethical, or at least seller-centric. I also wonder how they assure that a property isn't already sold or in process of, and I think the platform should do and assure all lien/title searches for better trust and bidder confidence. It might be safer just to buy land, have a house built onto the land, and then sell it - an added perk: No auction-related fees!
