Q: I have never attended a real estate auction before what should I do?
A: If you are interested in buying at any auctions conducted by The Auction Broker, you should subscribe to our email list to get alerted to upcoming real estate auctions. Be sure to check out our complete list of FAQs as this will answer many questions about real estate auctions. Before attending the real estate auction, check out the values in the neighborhood and set a range of value or limit for your bidding. Be sure to work with your lender and pre-qualify, as you must typically make a no contingency offer for property sold at auction. Do your due diligence on the property and review the Terms & Conditions of the auction you are interested in. Arrive early at the auction site to register to bid, ask questions, listen closely, don't be bashful, wait for the auction to start and buy some property!
Q: Why do I need to register and how is that done?
A: Registration is a process of identifying yourself in our system as a potential buyer. If you want to participate in one of our auctions you will need to provide some form of positive ID such as a drivers license. You will need to sign the standard Terms & Conditions for the auction and provide the stated down payment amount for the property of interest in guaranteed funds. You will receive a bid card with a number, which is used to identify yourself as the successful bidder. You will also be provided a Bid Packet with copies of the Terms & Conditions, Bid Acknowledgment Form, Purchase & Sale Agreement, and a complete Property Information Package on the property that you are interested in.
Q: Can I make an offer prior to the auction?
A: Absolutely. We will submit the written offer on the Purchase & Sale Agreement to the Seller for consideration and acceptance. All offers submitted before or during the auction will be handled according to the Terms and Conditions of the auction. We recommend that you make your best offer at this time.
