Hubzu Celebrates 10th Anniversary

A decade of service expansion, technology enhancements and growth has established Hubzu as a leading online real estate auction marketplace.

LUXEMBOURG, July 15, 2019 – Hubzu, a leading online real estate marketing platform, today announced the celebration of 10 years of innovation in the real estate auction industry. Hubzu has established itself as one of the nation’s largest online residential real estate auction marketing platforms providing buyers, sellers and realtors with innovative technology and strong customer support. Since its inception in 2009, Altisource has facilitated the sale of over 248,000 properties with the vast majority sold via the Hubzu® transparent online marketing platform.

The Hubzu online marketplace has become a household name for real estate auctions because of the strong service, technology, support and control offered to its customers. For home sellers, Hubzu amplifies the exposure of each property through extensive multi-channel promotion and marketing. The marketing investment is complimented by a strong focus on customer feedback, data and analytics to streamline the purchase and sales process for buyers and sellers and their brokers. With Hubzu, prospective buyers have the opportunity to bid on an average of over 3,500 properties marketed for sale across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Hubzu’s reputation for transparency, accessibility and convenience has attracted close to 1.7 million prospective buyers and real estate agents — with approximately 4.5 million bids placed on the platform since 2009.  Hubzu also works with leading lenders and servicers throughout the nation who look to Hubzu to drive a competitive and transparent bidding process to accelerate sales timelines and maximize proceeds.

Key highlights from Hubzu’s history include:

• 2009: Launched auction marketing of Real Estate Owned (REO) properties, offering customers the opportunity to bid on bank-owned properties.
