Auction Network® Live Online Auctions Open Friday, August 22nd

TULSA, Okla., Aug. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Auction Network® (www.auctionnetwork.com), the leader in auction entertainment programming and real-time interactive bidding, today announced the debut of "Live Online" auctions (www.auctionnetwork.com/live), an entirely new approach to online real estate auction. Auction Network's "Live Online" auctions elevate the online auction experience with on-air hosts who deliver live reports on auction performance, provide insights into the best bargains and hot markets, and alert bidders to auction closings and openings, creating a more engaging and informed bidding environment. More than 100 properties will be up for auction, including starter homes, investment homes, condos, development land and commercial real estate, Friday through Friday, Aug. 22 – 29.

"Traditionally, online auctions are a passive experience that require bidders to track all of the auctions on their own," said Geoff Sills, Vice President of Marketing for William Williams & McKissick, Auction Network's parent company.  "We turned the tables to benefit our bidders.  Now Auction Network hosts will do the heavy lifting for our online bidders, making sure they are aware of every opportunity."

Owned by Williams Williams & McKissick, Auction Network has telecast and facilitated online bidding for nearly 20,000 real estate auctions since 2009.  Auction Network offers exclusive live online auctions for registered members and gives viewers from around the world a front row seat at live auctions conducted on-site by sister company, Williams & Williams Worldwide Real Estate Auction (www.williamsauction.com).  All of Williams & Williams on-site auctions offer the convenience of online bidding at www.auctionnetwork.com.
