Auction.com operates the largest U.S. marketplace for foreclosure, REO, and bank-owned residential properties—handling over 524,000 transactions totaling $64 billion in sales. The hiring mix is heavily sales and operations focused (29 of 38 active roles), with engineering and product severely under-resourced (3 roles combined), suggesting the business runs on process and agent network scale rather than platform innovation. Current projects cluster around demand generation, agent tools, and personalization, while pain points center on funnel efficiency and scaling the agent network—a classic marketplace expansion challenge.
Auction.com is a real estate auction platform specializing in properties typically unavailable through MLS channels: foreclosures, sheriff's sales, bank-owned homes, and short sales. The company facilitates transactions between institutional sellers (banks, lenders, REO managers) and retail and institutional buyers, taking no ownership stake and setting no prices—positioning itself as a neutral marketplace. Core infrastructure includes remote bidding technology enabling nationwide participation and a network of licensed agents. Headquartered in Irvine, CA with offices nationwide, the company is backed by Thomas H. Lee Partners, CapitalG, and Stone Point Capital.
