In this modern era, we’ve grown accustomed to making any purchase on-the-go from the palm of our hands. So why do we still have to give up our weekends (or worse, our holidays) for the purchase of a home?
After spending years researching the market and deciding where and when to buy, Joe Maurici found the perfect property and he was ready to bid. But there was just one catch… the auction for 2/65 Sandringham Street was scheduled right in the middle of his Hawaiian holiday.
<Enter Gavl, stage-right.>
Joe was familiar with Gavl. He knew he could livestream auctions from anywhere in the world with a 3G connection. “You can’t make it to every auction when you’re trying to buy a house. Especially when you’re just doing a bit of research in the market. Gavl is great because it lets you do that without ever leaving home.”
So when the time came to decide between attending the auction or going on holiday, the choice was easy! He knew Gavl would allow him to watch the McGrath Sans Souci auction and bid from anywhere in the world. He packed his bags and hopped on a plane for a beach holiday.
Cut ahead a few days: The Gavl livestream is up on the big screen. And even though he’s several thousand kilometres overseas, Joe is in the middle of the auction buzz.
“It was great to be able to see how much the bids were jumping in realtime.
“To be able to read the auction and see the other bidder’s body language helped me feel like I was there, and meant I bid more aggressively to win the auction.”
The result: Joe returned home from Hawaii with a bit of a tan and a new address.
