My Account section of the Members Area allows you to submit auction services request, manage all your account and membership details as well as provides the insight on your auction activities.

Step 4. ACTIVATE TWO-FACTOR AUTHENTICATION (2FA) FOR YOUR ACCOUNT

Two-factor authentication (2FA) is an essential and mandatory security measure to protect your Members account with Domus Optima Real Estate Auctions from unauthorized access.

2FA strengthens access security to your account by requiring two methods (also referred to as authentication factors) to verify your identity. These factors include something you know – your username and password – plus something you have – your smartphone / tablet application – to approve authentication requests.

Please activate 2FA within 30 days (grace period) of registering your Members account with Domus Optima Real Estate Auctions.

Setting up 2FA for your Domus Optima Real Estate Auctions account is easy. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be protected in no time:

• Choose an authenticator application to use, if you do not already have one installed on your smartphone or tablet. There are many available for iOS, Android, and other platforms, including Google Authenticator, FreeOTP Authenticator, Sophos Mobile Security, 1Password, LastPass Authenticator, Microsoft Authenticator, Authy 2-Factor Authentication or any other authenticator app that supports Time-Based One-Time Passwords (TOTP).
• Log in to your Domus Optima Members Account using your username and password (if you haven’t logged in yet).
• Navigate to the Login Security section of My Account from the menu on the left.
• Open your smartphone / tablet authenticator application and add a new entry. Most apps have a plus sign symbol or a tiny QR code symbol.
• Scan the QR code on our Login Security page with your smartphone / tablet. If you are accessing Domus Optima Real Estate Auctions website on your smartphone or tablet and obviously cannot point the camera at its own screen, you can copy the line of letters and numbers below the QR code from the Login Security page and paste that in an application, using the application’s “manual” setup option.
• Your authenticator application should then display a six-digit code.
• You may wish to download and / or print Recovery Codes (can be used if you lose your smartphone or tablet) from the Login Security page. Store downloaded and / or printed Recovery Codes in a safe place.
• Enter the six-digit code that appears in your authenticator application into the appropriate field of the Login Security page to verify and activate two-factor authentication for your members account. This code changes every 60 seconds. If the code expires, you can enter the next code instead.
• Click the “ACTIVATE” button.

PLEASE NOTE:

• After the 30-day grace period, you will not be able to access your Members account without activated 2FA.
• Please check our FAQ or contact us if you have any questions or need assistance with the 2FA activation process.

Step 5. SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST FOR AUCTION SERVICES

Upon your fulfillment of all legal requirements to obtain ownership of or legal right to sell the distress property, please visit List Your Property section of My Account and take a few moments to fill out and submit a complimentary Auction Services Request.

Once we have received your completed Auction Services Request form, we will consider your Domus Optima Real Estate Auctions listing opportunities and make every effort to get back in touch with you as soon as possible.

PLEASE NOTE:

• In case you prefer to use services of your real estate agent in the sale of the distressed property, the property will be auctioned either via Domus Optima Absolute Real Estate Auction (Type A) or Domus Optima Sealed-Bid Real Estate Auction (Type S).

Step 6. PRE-AUCTION FORMALITIES

You can choose a general format of a particular Domus Optima Distressed Real Estate Auction from one of the following two auction types: Absolute Auction (Type A) or Sealed-Bid Auction (Type S), but introduce its specific terms and conditions in accordance to the applicable legal requirements. These specific terms and conditions will be disclosed in the particular Domus Optima Distressed Real Estate Auction listing, and will supplement and/or supersede our general Terms of Use.

Upon obtaining available property information and reports (if available), as well as the completion of all Domus Optima Distressed Real Estate Auction (Type D) listing formalities, all auction terms are set. The property is then listed for the upcoming distressed auction on an ‘as-is’ basis.

Step 7. WAIT FOR THE RESULTS

If you prefer to monitor the auction process of your distressed property, please join the excitement of the online auction venue by logging in to your Domus Optima Members account, searching for the required auction listing and navigating to it anytime from the beginning of the auction.

Alternatively, you may wait till the end of the auction and check its final results the same way as above.

CONGRATULATIONS, if your distressed property has been sold! 

Do not be upset, if no or little interest has been shown to your auction listing and your distressed property has not been sold at this time. We will discuss the results and consider the most suitable for you opportunities. You may wish to relist your distressed property with us on the same or revised terms, or try to use another non-auction selling channels.

Step 8. CLOSE THE SALE OF THE DISTRESSED PROPERTY

Closing on the property takes place on the date first stated in the auction listing. On that day and upon fulfillment of all financial and legal formalities you will receive proceeds of the sale. At the same time the ownership and possession of your distressed property will be transferred to the winner of the auction.
