Bidding Procedures & Auction Terms and Conditions

This property may be purchased either via online or onsite bidding.

Registration to Bid Online: Proper and complete online registration is required to bid online. A credit card is required to actually place a bid on the property. The credit card will be validated before bidding access is granted but is not a recognized form of payment of the earnest money (deposit) or purchase price. By registering, all bidders acknowledge having read and agree to be bound by the Auction Terms and Conditions. Bidders may register prior to, or during the bidding period. At registration bidders are given the option of receiving emails confirming their individual bids and/or when they are outbid.

Registration to Bid Live: Valid Driver's License or State ID required.

Bidding online: To place a bid, bidders have the option to bid in one of three ways 1) bid the current asking price, 2) bid a specific amount or 3) create a maximum bid. The "max bid" or "New Max Bid" feature allows a bidder to enter their maximum bid. This authorizes the system to only bid the smallest acceptable bid increment on the bidder(s) behalf when they have been outbid and only up to their maximum bid. The benefit of this feature is to provide you, the bidder, with an easier way to bid by not having to login and manually bid each time you have been outbid. In the case of an auction with a reserve, if the maximum bid entered is less than the reserve, the system will place the bid at the bidder's maximum bid. If the reserve has been met or it is an auction without reserve, the system will only bid the smallest acceptable bid increment on the bidder(s) behalf when they have been outbid and only up to their maximum bid. The highest online bid at the time the auction converts to a live format, becomes the opening bid in the live auction. The bidder(s) with a "maximum" bid, if applicable and not yet met, will also carry through to the live auction as described above. Any registered online bidders may continue to bid online in the live auction by logging in at the published auction time. An online bidder wishing to bid live onsite will need to properly register at the auction site and be assigned an onsite bidder number.

Buyer's premium: A buyer's premium of ten percent (10%) of the high bid shall be added to that bid and included in the total contract price to be paid by the successful bidder(s).
Example:
High bid on the property: $100,000
Add Buyer's Premium: (10% of 100,000) $10,000
Equals Total Contract Price: $110,000

Financing: Sale of the property is not contingent upon the buyer obtaining financing. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that potential bidders ensure in advance that they are able to obtain the necessary financing to close the transaction.

Inspection: THIS AUCTION IS NOT CONDITIONAL UPON ANY TYPE OF INSPECTION. If you or any concerned party to the transaction need any type of inspection done, you may do so prior to bidding. So long as NO damage is done to the property and it remains in the same condition prior to the inspection.

Contract Signing for Winning Online Bidder: At the conclusion of the auction the Winning Bidder will receive an email confirming his or her winning bid status. In this or a subsequent email the Winning Bidder will receive a link to sign all documents electronically along with wiring instructions for submitting the required earnest money deposit to the named title company. The Auctioneer or his representative will contact the Winning Bidder the day of the auction to address any questions concerning the required process. Should the electronic processes described above be unavailable, alternative arrangements will be made. In any event, the contract signing and deposit payment process must be completed by close of business on the day following the auction conclusion.
