Does Hubzu Have Fake Bidders?

Shill bidding is when the seller or someone else connected to the seller, artificially bids up the property so the seller can get a better price. Shill bidding is illegal so Hubzu doesn't do it. But what they do is proxy bidding or counter-bidding.

Do you need a realtor to bid on Hubzu?

Q Do I need a real estate agent to place a bid? No, you can place a bid or submit an offer on Hubzu with or without an agent. If you'd like to work with an agent, include their information when you bid to ensure they receive their commission.

Can you see other bids on Hubzu?

Hubzu can help you monitor the listing by sending property auction updates to your inbox. Once your bid is selected the seller's representative will send you the purchase and sale agreement and related documents completed with the terms of the purchase.
