Run property auctions lot by lot — reserve to completion

A standalone auction workbench for every lot: guide price, confidential reserve, bidder registration, hammer price and the binding completion deadline — in one auditable record, with no third-party real-estate module required.

The problem

A property auction is not a simple sale. Each lot carries a guide price, a confidential reserve, a registered field of bidders, a hammer price distinct from any agreed value, and a legally binding completion deadline. Teams track this today in spreadsheets and email: reserve figures sit in free-text notes, bidder lists live outside the system, and no one can report on performance by auction house, agent or month.

The solution

Property Auction Sales gives every lot a single structured record: guide, reserve and hammer pricing, a visual catalog, bidder registration, a disciplined draft-to-done status workflow with full audit trail, a completion-deadline tracker, and a one-click draft invoice from the hammer price — all standalone, with no mandatory real-estate dependency.

Capabilities

Everything an auction lot needs

Every capability below is implemented in the module.

01

Visual lot catalog

Browse every lot as an image-led kanban card with guide, hammer, reserve and sale-type status at a glance — not just a list, the way a buyer actually scans a catalog.

02

Structured lot record

Lot number, auction house, sale type, guide price, reserve and hammer price each get their own field — no more reserve figures buried in free-text notes.

03

Auto-sequenced references

Every lot and deal gets a predictable reference such as AUC/2026/00001, so lots can be cited unambiguously in catalogs, invoices and legal correspondence.

04

Bidder registration

Register bidders on each lot with paddle number, deposit status and maximum bid, and mark a single winning bidder directly on the lot.

05

Reserve-not-met handling

Reserve status (met, not met, not sold yet) is computed and shown directly on every lot. A hammer price below reserve is blocked from confirming and is routed to Mark Unsold instead.

06

Draft-to-done workflow

A disciplined status bar (Draft, Confirmed, Completed, Unsold) with full chatter history, so every change is defensible in a reserve or completion dispute.

07

Completion-deadline tracking

Set a configurable binding completion window (28 days by default) on every lot and see days-to-completion and overdue status surfaced on the record and in the list.

08

Bid-to-invoice continuity

Generate a draft customer invoice straight from the hammer price with one click, visible on the lot through a smart button and live payment status.

09

Deals, houses & reporting

Group lots under a parent deal with one-click navigation, track every auction house as reference data, and view a shipped pivot and graph on results by house, agent and month.

Workflow

How it works

1

Create the deal & lots

Open a deal for the vendor instruction, then add each lot with its auction house, sale type, guide price and reserve — or bulk-import a whole catalog.

2

Register bidders

Register each eligible bidder on the lot with their paddle number and deposit status ahead of the sale.

3

Record the hammer & confirm

Mark the winning bidder, enter the hammer price and confirm the sale — the reserve check and completion deadline are handled automatically.

4

Invoice & complete

Generate the draft invoice from the hammer price, chase the binding completion deadline, then close the lot as Completed.
