Timely polite effective response. I emailed my problem on Sunday & Monday before noon all was resolved. Mandy followed up consistently to make sure access to the site was successful. I won't hesitate to reach out with any questions that come up.

To the rep from Hudson and Marshall: To the rep from Hudson and Marshall: The things you named as "standard auction practice" might indeed be common practice in auctions. That doesn't mean the practices make any real sense, or make for a good consumer experience, which is what the reviewers here are rating you on. Ex: Why start an auction at a price below what is acceptable to the seller, i.e. below the reserve? Be honest about it and start it at the reserve price! Doing otherwise makes a customer feel duped. Any talk of this " helping to make a deal" is just nonsense, and smart consumers see it as an attempt to create excitement over an illusion.

All in all, an interesting and positive experience. This being my first time using an auction site, what do I know? But, it was easy to register, access information, and follow the bidding. I missed the end of the bidding, and was curious, as to final bid. So, I reached out, and received a prompt response, explaining that the seller was yet to review offers, and come to a decision regarding sale. All in all, a positive experience for me.

Winning Bidder. Reserve Price Met. Oh Well I was the winning bidder. Reserve price was met. My bid was approved by the Seller. I sign the contract accepting the home in As-Is condition. I wire the earnest money deposit (EMD). Contingency in contract - seller has to approve BOTH the bid and the contract. Seller then declines contract. Why?.... It's their boiler-plate contract. So, sale is cancelled. Shady. But it gets shadier. Reps at ServiceLink say the seller pulled the home from the auction - "it's too damaged to sell." They knew the home's condition before auctioning it and it's an As-Is contract!! THEN ServiceLink immediately re-lists the home for auction. They told me it's in the process of being pulled. That was 5 days ago. The new auction starts in 3 hours. STAY AWAY from this outfit. I'm still waiting to get confirmation my EMD is being returned.

Awesome!! Website is very user-friendly I had no problem creating account, browsing properties, and reviewing inspection and property reports. I was surprised how easy and smooth it was. I asked 2 questions a couple hours apart. Answers came immediately, within a minute or 2 at most. I don't compliment websites easily and customer service even less but I had to today & both get 5 stars. Amanda not only answered at lightening speed, she included a PDF cheat sheet to walk me through the entire auction process. I didn't expect it, but I now have confidence to actually go to the auction. I call that exceeding expectations. Thank you!!
