Based on years of experience working with state and county government to sell tax-defaulted and foreclosed property on the Internet, auction site Bid4Assets, made a decision to create TaxSale.com, a highly specialized and informative Web site designed to simplify buying and selling tax-defaulted property for buyers, resellers and counties. TaxSale.com aggregates hard-to-find tax sales information, offers educational materials on how to make smart purchase decisions, and allows members access to an online community forum to communicate with peers and exchange ideas.
"The tax sale marketplace has always been fragmented and difficult to understand," says Jenny Lynch, vice president of corporate communications for Bid4Assets. TaxSale.com offers buyers, resellers and counties a centralized, online resource to instantly access information on upcoming traditional and online tax sales for every state and county in the United States. It is the only Web site where members can join a community to learn from the pros about tax sales. Member can also access useful resources, online workshops and books to learn the tax sale rules for each state. It's free to join the Web.
For those new to the tax sale space, there is a special online workshop on September 9, called Lunch & Learn, where members can log in to a chat room forum and ask a national tax sale expert all the tax sale questions they've ever wanted answers to including how tax sales work, how to make money and more. Space is limited for this online workshop. "The response has been phenomenal," says Lynch. "We're already gearing up for the next Lunch & Learn online workshop this fall."
Since 2000, Bid4Assets, Inc. has been the leading online Internet auction site providing online advertising and auction services for state and county tax-defaulted property nationwide. By using the Internet, Bid4Assets has expanded a County's buyer pool exponentially by exposing its defaulted parcels to a large number of potential bidders from across the U.S. and abroad. In doing so, Bid4Assets helps County's maximize proceeds at auction, return more properties to the tax rolls and minimize cost, resources and time expended by the County and its staff.
