Countdown
To Buy Enters Into New Pilot Program To Offer Foreclosed Properties Through
Efficient and Transparent Online Marketplace
Foreclosed properties in Dallas to be listed for sale the first week of
March 2010
Countdown To Buy,
a next generation online real estate marketplace that offers a fair and
effective way to buy and sell properties, announced today that it has
entered into a new pilot program with a leading banking institution to offer
a sampling of foreclosed properties in Texas.
“This
pilot affirms that the appeal of our model and reach of our platform fills a
broad set of needs within the spectrum of disposition strategies,” commented
Tom Furey, Managing Partner of Countdown To Buy. “Our innovative solutions
result in significant benefits for the institutions we partner with such as
reduced costs, less buyer fall-out, enhanced work flows and shorter sales
cycles.”
The initial properties for this pilot will be located in Dallas, TX, and can
be researched on the company’s website
www.countdowntobuy.com
. Open houses will be held on Saturday March 6, 2010 and Sunday March 14,
2010. Confidential offers on these properties can be submitted through the
website starting on Friday March 5, 2010 and will be accepted for 25 days —
or less should an offer match or exceed the price that is scheduled to
reduce 1% per day.
“Countdown To Buy’s process is gaining traction as a timely and cost
effective solution for institutions to better manage REO inventory,” said
Dan Connell, President of Countdown To Buy. “The combination of Countdown To
Buy’s innovative platform, combined with the skills and knowledge of the
Agents that we are collaborating with is proving to be a very effective
practice.”
Founded in 2008, Countdown To Buy uses a patent pending technology that
automatically matches buyers and sellers in a real estate transaction
through a time-limited process that
reduces the property’s list price everyday..
Confidentially submitted offers are systematically compared to the daily
price and when an offer matches or exceeds that price, the offer is
automatically accepted and the contract process is initiated. Through the
Company’s website,
www.countdowntobuy.com,
property listings can be researched, showings can be arranged, and offers
can be submitted.
