2/19/2019

The year 2019 is shaping to up be an exciting one for Bid4Assets. Today, we are celebrating the 20th anniversary since we incorporated on February 19th, 1999. Since that day, Bid4Assets has been revolutionizing private and government property sales with our online platform. In that time, we have sold over 100,000 properties, grossed over a billion dollars in auction sales and hosted online auctions for over 100 federal and county clients nationwide.

It has been an incredible journey and our entire team could not be prouder of all we have accomplished. But we aim to do more with this occasion than just look back on 20 years of success. We aim to ensure that our next 20 years are even better than the first.

The concept of Bid4Assets originated when our founders were on the courthouse steps bidding on a foreclosed building during a cold, snowy day in Baltimore. They realized there had to be an easier way to buy and sell higher-valued assets like real estate, so they created an online platform designed to create a more convenient experience for buyers and sellers everywhere. This mission has been part  of our DNA since day one and it has directed every new decision, site update and policy we have implemented since then.

With that in mind, there are several new features we are in the process of rolling out for 2019. Our first big announcement of the year is a new notice of sale program. This program is designed to provide free information on live public auctions and to ensure more counties nationwide benefit from our extensive base of real estate investors, developers and buyers like you.

Additionally, we are in the process of developing a customizable auction alert tool accessible to all users. When this goes live, Bid4Assets users will be able to tell us exactly what kinds of properties they are interested in and receive automated alerts whenever properties of that type are available on the platform. The purpose of this program is to streamline your auction searches and help you get quick and easy notifications on the properties you want and avoid the ones you don’t.

As for here and now, Bid4Assets is happy to offer unique promos for private auction sellers to mark this special occasion. Contact Bid4Assets’ client services team at [email protected] from now until March 19th to learn more about these unique promotional opportunities.

Finally, to all our registered buyers, we want to say thank you. Whether you have bid on one or one hundred auctions using Bid4Assets, you have helped us get to where we are today. Our team strives every day to create a platform we can be proud of and that creates as many opportunities for buyers and sellers everywhere. Thank you, we never stop appreciating you and here is to the next 20 years.
