Bidder is accountable to be informed about property and associated costs before bidding. A maximum bid can be placed on the property in the online bidding interface. A maximum bid is kept confidential. Except for properties noted “Absolute Auction,” all properties in auctions will be sold subject to seller confirmation or will have a pre-established minimum Reserve Price. The starting bid is not the Reserve Price. Except where prohibited by law, Auctioneer may counter bid on behalf of Seller on any property up to the amount of the Reserve Price (and no such bid will result in a sale of the property). If the Reserve Price is not met, Seller is under no obligation to sell the property; however, Seller may accept a bid that is below the Reserve Price in its sole discretion.

The identity of all bidders will be verified prior to participation. The Auctioneer may require a proof of funds letter be submitted prior to bidder participation. A credit card is required to register for online bidding. No charges will be made to your card unless you are determined to be the winning bidder and you fail to execute the Contract of Sale and pay the required earnest money deposit. At the discretion of the Auctioneer, a penalty of $1,000.00 will be charged to the credit card provided at registration if you fail to return the signed Contract of Sale and pay the required earnest money deposit within the required time period. Payment of the penalty shall not affect other remedies available to the Seller for such failure.

To qualify for a commission, the agent must first register his/her self and client with the Auctioneer at least 24 hours prior to the close of auction. Brokers only receive commission when they represent a client, not if they themselves are the client. Commissions will be paid only after closing and after the Auctioneer has been paid in full. Agents are not required to attend the closing but must attend the auction with their client and/or visit the property with their client during the marketing period. Agents must have client's permission to register him/her for the auction. Agents may not register people who are not actually their clients. If an agent has not met all of these requirements, no commission will be paid to the cooperating agent, even if the agent's client purchases the property. Under no circumstances whatsoever will any commission be paid if the sale does not close for any reason.
