Traditional real estate brokerage firms will be required to drastically alter their way of doing business in order to successfully navigate the post lockdown operating environment. Now more than ever, companies that successfully innovate their service offering stand the best chance of coming out on top. One such company is AuctionInc.

Prior to the lockdown that commenced in South Africa on the 26th of March, AuctionInc were in the final phase of developing a state of the art, user friendly online auction platform. The online auction platform seamlessly integrates with AuctionInc’s current website and allows users to bid on the property of their choice from the comfort of their home or office. The platform will officially be launched on the 22nd of April through an exciting initiative called the Mystery Box where users can bid to win an exciting mystery prize to be revealed after the auction.

Another strategic initiative that AuctionInc has recently launched comes in the form of a digital sales and leasing property platform called SkyRise Properties. According to AuctionInc CEO Ari Ben “we are thrilled to launch SkyRise Properties at a time where it is needed most. We are now poised to provide our clients with a range of solutions ranging from Online Auction to traditional sales and lease.” Both AuctionInc and SkyRise Properties will utilize 360 degree virtual tours, online meeting solutions and the use of digital document signing tools in order to minimize the need to physically interact.

Over the course of the next few months we will witness entire industries undergo drastic changes that will force service providers to adapt at a rapid rate. Innovation has become the name of the game.
