HomeMaxima.com - Property Auctions for Home Owners

HomeMaxima is a free home listing and auction service. Home owners can use the site to sell their own property with or without intermediaries. They’ve got a few options: the for sale by owner auction or FSBO, and direct postings with or without the help of an agent. Using the FSBO auction, sellers set the auction time a few weeks in advance which allows them to approve bidders. If the property isn’t sold it can be relisted. Buyers must pay Maxima .75% of the property sales price. If the home owner is using an agent, the agent sets the auction date. Buyers must also select an agent to represent himself or herself. Again the buyer must pay a transaction fee of .75% of the sales price.

“HomeMaxima.com provides three innovative bidding platforms: For Sale By Owner (FSBO) Auction, Property Auction and Agent Commission Bidding. HomeMaxima.com is the first to create an auction platform accommodating diversified groups of sellers: individual sellers and their agents, banks, lenders and new home builders. HomeMaxima.com optimizes real estate transactions for buyers and sellers. This real-time and leveled playing environment is a win-win-win solution for property sellers, buyers and agents/brokers.”

HomeMaxima provides a more cost efficient way for users to auction and sell their homes. Service prices are low for buyers and free for sellers.

The site is more confusing than helpful. There’s far too much clutter which makes it difficult to figure out just what the site is about. The site isn’t designed with the user in mind and it’s hard to imagine how they’ll gain any traction.
