Go-Dove is a leading provider of asset management and real estate services with 40 offices in 27 countries, and most of its clients are Fortune 500 & Fortune 1000 companies.
Its main success behind the global enterprise has been the company’s proprietary auction software platform, which has been developed over 15 years at a cost of more than US$20 million.
The company launched its first dedicated live online property auction site in 2011, through GoIndustry DoveBid SA (Pty) Limited.
Buyers interact in real time and full tracking capabilities are available before, during and after auctions, providing the critical corporate governance and transparency that companies, government and many parastatals require, says Faclier.
The property division for Go-Dove in South Africa also specialise in on-site auctions, private treaty sales and valuations.
