Auction.com vs. HotPads vs. Realtor.com

Auction.com is well suited for an event, which has a silent and live auction. I can't imagine hosting an event without being able to swipe guests credit cards and being able to generate invoices. Entering winning bids at the event is easy and can be done on multiple computers - then merged onto one to run the necessary invoices, distribution sheets, and reports. Running a report on the items not bid on allows you to verify that you have entered all the bid sheets.

I have received some rental leads from REALTOR.COM. They don't generate an Agent a lot of Money but eventually that referral can convert into a Buyer! I'll accept rental leads, due to that potential benefit. However, the leads were pretty far away from my preferred target areas.

Support is where Auction.com shines. Their support team is incredible. On the day of the event, you can count on them to be on the other end of the phone when you call and to fix issues that you have. They are all very knowledgeable and understanding. They will walk you through any issues or actually make the changes remotely for you. I have nothing but praise for their support!
