- Buyers must bring a certified check for $ 2500, a driver's license to the auction
- Buyers must have a personal or company check ready to pay ten percent of the purchase price on auction day
- Buyers should be pre-approved or pre-qualified for the purchase price if financing is necessary
- The auction company adds a 5% buyer's premium on to your winning bid
- Sellers provide title insurance, so any judgments or tax leans will be paid in full at close of escrow
- Some homes will have a reserve and others will not
- They are sold "as is," so the buyer will have to complete their due diligence prior to auction day
- The doctrine of caveat emptor applies here. If you are the wining bidder, you have to sign the purchase contract on auction day
- If you do not complete the purchase you will forfeit your ten percent deposit
- Many of the homes look like they are real fixers. Construction skills may be necessary
- It is not required that a buyer be represented by a REALTOR, but they recommend it. There is no additional cost to the buyer to do so.
I will be holding one of these auction homes open on Saturday, 11/10 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. If you would like to look it over, or have any questions about the process feel free to call me. (916) 337-0658
