For real estate agents
Bring your buyer.
Bid on their behalf.
REVOL Bids is open to every licensed agent. Verify once, request approval per property, and bid for your client in the open — with cooperating compensation paid through the buyer premium.
Fewer surprises. Faster closings.
Accelerated bidding removes the parts of a transaction that waste your time.
No blind bidding wars
Your client sees the actual high bid. No guessing at an escalation clause, no "highest and best by 5pm."
Inspections already done
Disclosures and reports are posted before bidding. No inspection-contingency renegotiation after you win.
A fixed timeline
The bidding window is on the listing. You and your client know exactly when a decision happens.
Clear compensation
Cooperating compensation is disclosed on every listing and paid from the buyer premium at closing.
The agent workflow
Five steps, start to close
Verification is once. Everything after is per property and takes minutes.

Once
Create your agent account and get verified
Sign up with your name, brokerage and license number, then complete buyer verification as the agent. This is a one-time step for your account.

Per client
Tour and review the file together
Every REVOL listing posts disclosures — and often an inspection report — before bidding opens. Walk the home with your client and review the file so they bid with full knowledge.

Per property
Request bidding approval on your client's behalf
Open the listing, click Request Bidding Approval, and select "Bidding for a client." Enter your client's name and contact details, their financing type, down payment and maximum bid, then sign the bidding agreement electronically as their authorized representative.
- •Your client is named on the agreement
- •Their maximum bid is private — never shown to the seller
- •Approval usually comes back the same day by text and email

Bidding window
Bid for your client in the open
Place bids at or above the current high bid. You get a text the instant you are outbid. Each bid carries your client's financing, down payment and proposed closing date, so a strong-terms bid can beat a slightly higher weak one.

Win
Contract, deposit, close
If your client is the high bidder and the seller accepts, you are under contract. Earnest money is due within 48 hours. Because inspections already happened, there is no second negotiation — you move straight to closing.
Explaining it to clients
Three sentences that work
When they hear "auction"
"It's a normal home and a normal sale. The only difference is you can see the other offers instead of guessing at them."
When they worry about overpaying
"You set your own maximum and nobody sees it. You'll never pay a dollar more than the next buyer forced you to."
When they ask why it starts low
"A low start is what brings every buyer in at once. It's a starting line, not a sale price — and the seller decides on every bid that follows."
