With the coronavirus pandemic still gripping the region, Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office has decided to hold its next sheriff’s sale online, writes Carl Hessler Jr. for the Montgomery Media.

Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will conduct Pennsylvania’s first virtual sheriff’s sale on October 28, starting at 1 p.m. The online sale will be hosted by Bid4Assets, an online auction company with a long history of working with county tax collectors on online tax foreclosure auctions.

“We weighed the pros and cons of moving our sheriff sales online and found that there are numerous benefits with little downside for Montgomery County,” said Kilkenny. “COVID-19 was clearly the precipitating factor and an online auction is a safer way to go in the current health crisis.”

Also, online auctions tend to attract a wider pool of real estate investors that are looking to purchase and renovate foreclosed properties and reduce any blight in the process.

“Bid4Assets’ services come at no cost to Montgomery County and the taxpayers we serve,” said Kilkenny.

Sheriff sales are auctions performed by the sheriff’s office. They are usually the result of mortgage foreclosures and money judgments.
