The Block NZ season finale saw a buyer place a winning bid on one of the renovated properties via the real estate auction app, Gavl.  
It enabled the buyer, Mike Wyeth, to secure the property from the comfort of his home, which went under the hammer for $921,500.
The live grand final of Three’s The Block NZ was a <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/news/89350-the-block-new-zealand-brings-in-live-online-bidding-for-finale-auctions" target="_blank">first for any reality television show</a> in Australia and New Zealand for an absentee buyer winning while watching from their own home. 
Gavl (<a href="https://www.gavl.com/" target="_blank" data-auth="NotApplicable">gavl.com</a>) is the world’s leading platform for real estate auction live streaming and bidding and the official digital auction partner for season seven of The Block NZ.
One of the renovated properties on the program – 25 Frances Bryers Road in Hobsonville, Auckland – attracted four registered bidders as they bid online through Gavl. 
During the live auction, Gavl representatives at the auction site announced the bids of all registered online Gavl bidders.
Gavl bidders watched the auction live through the app and were able to see the current bids displayed on their screen. 
Following a bidding war between the buyers in the room and those bidding via Gavl, the property sold under the hammer for $921,500 to a buyer through Gavl.  
Earlier in the evening two bidders via Gavl went head-to-head on Amy and Stu’s property, before it was knocked down to a buyer in the room.
Gavl’s live auction bidding function enables property buyers to watch and make bids at auction in real time from anywhere in the world – giving sellers a broader auction audience.
 It’s patent-pending platform is the only available technology dedicated to the real estate industry that live-streams events with a one second latency – including Facebook Live.

Gavl secures Block NZ buyer from comfort of home

<html><body>
Viewers will be able to interact with the most recent season of The Block New Zealand in a new way.
The season seven finale of the channel Three show, which is set to air later this month, will allow for live bidding and streaming via the show’s digital auction partner, Gavl.
The houses are to be auctioned on September 30 at the Grand Millennium in Auckland at 7pm. Real estate agency Ray White has put the homes on the market with the listings for 21, 23, 25 and 27 Frances Bryers Rd going live this week.
Pre-registered and authenticated bidders on Gavl will be able to access the livestreaming and live bidding functionality.
During the auction, Gavl representatives will be present in the auction room to announce the bids of the remote Gavl bidders. 
Co-founder of Gavl, Joel Smith, claims that on average the platform attracts 47% more viewers than traditional auctions.
“We’re thrilled that Gavl will play a role in the final stage of The Block NZ Live Auction, with the show continuing to achieve strong success among viewers,” Smith said.
“There are many benefits Gavl provide sellers at auction – including our livestreaming technology, which has just a one-second latency, and an unlimited buying pool on the day through our remote live bidding functionality. 
“Traditionally, the only way to participate in a real estate auction is to physically attend the auction or via phone, but Gavl will give New Zealanders and even overseas buyers the opportunity to watch and bid from wherever they are.”
