Overstock.com, Inc. announced today the addition of auctions to its real estate platform allowing consumers to search real estate auction listings and link to online auctions. Overstock.com has joined with real estate auction company, Williams & Williams as an online auction source provider.
The Overstock.com real estate portal provides consumers with the

auction that we had the expertise of an innovative and technically capable real estate auction company. Williams & Williams is that company," said Bill Floor, director of real estate for Overstock.com. "They share our vision to provide consumers with new, empowered ways to shop for property."
"We're excited to be able to offer another wide-reaching opportunity for consumers to tap into real estate offerings," added Pamela L. McKissick, president & COO, Williams & Williams.
