Seattle, WA, May XXX– King County’s Real Estate Services Section is hosting its’ first ever online tax title auction through auction website Bid4Assets.  By moving online, the county is exposing the properties to a wider range of buyers with the goal of returning more distressed properties to the tax rolls.  The King County Treasurer’s Office has hosted its’ tax sale on Bid4Assets annually since 2015.

“We’re excited to partner with Bid4Assets to promote these properties to a wider audience,” says Jim Loveless, Supervisor of the King County Real Estate Services Section. “The Real Estate Services Office is focused on returning county-owned real property to productive use. The Treasurer’s office has had great results with Bid4Assets in the past and we see their online platform and extensive buyer base as the best way to meet our goals for King County.”

There are 62 properties available in the sale. All properties will have no reserve, meaning the highest bid at or above the minimum will win the property.

“We’re honored to continue serving King County and we’re thrilled to work with Real Estate Services to bring the county’s tax title properties back to productive use,” says Jesse Loomis, CEO of Bid4Assets, Inc.  “Bid4Assets has built up a database of hundreds of thousands of registered investors, developers and other real estate buyers.  These investors absorb excess inventory and ensure more properties return to the tax rolls than is possible in a local sale. Online sales cut costs, raise funds for essential county services and return more properties to productive use for the county.”

The auctions will open May 28th at 11:00 AM ET and close at staggered times between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM on May 30th.
