Provide Opportunity

Blighted and vacant properties represent an economic opportunity for residents to own their homes and places of business, thereby reinvesting in the communities in which they live and work.

Help constituents achieve the American dream by becoming real estate owners at affordable prices. Set terms such as a reimbursable registration fee and conditions such as the requirement for homebuyers to live in the purchased property for a minimum amount of time. 

Online real estate auctions make home and business ownership more accessible, and help municipalities revitalize their neighborhoods and budget - a win for local governments and residents alike.

The GovPilot team stands ready to help your government achieve its economic development goals.
