PHOTO: Sam Neill’s Double Bay home
Critically acclaimed actor Sam Neill has sold his four-bedroom home without a physical auctioneer to a buyer based overseas, industry experts explain.
The star of the Jurassic Park franchise sold his Double Bay home for an undisclosed amount believed to be upwards of $3.6 million through online platform Openn Negotiation.
Through the platform, Mr Neill was able to hold an auction with several bidders, with the eventual winner, an Australian living in Hong Kong, eventually purchasing the property.
Openn is not a streaming service broadcasting a traditional street auction. The service is delivered via an app, so there is no physical meeting at an auction gathering. The agent remains completely in control of the sale and all legal documents are automated on the app, so there is no need for any physical contact with a buyer or seller to sign documents.
