The following information is provided by Advantage Real Estate Auction Sales to assist you in understanding your purchase of a property at public auction. The material in this form is general in nature and does not limit your obligations under the contract of sale that you will be required to sign.
TERMS OF SALE: Your responsibilities as a purchaser have been advertised prior to the day of sale and will be read by the auctioneer at the time of sale. Additional terms may be announced on the day of sale or may be posted at the sale site. The auctioneer will make important announcements regarding the property and your obligations as a purchaser. Please feel free to ask any questions regarding these terms.
CONDITION OF PROPERTY: The property will be sold "As-Is" unless otherwise announced, the sellers make no representations or warranties about the condition of the property. The sellers will not make any repairs.
DEPOSIT: Your deposit will be credited towards the purchase price. If you do not comply with the "TERMS", either published or within the contract of sale, you might lose all or part of your deposit. In addition, if you fail to settle for the property you might be obligated to pay the expenses to resell the property.
EXPENSES: You will be responsible for the expenses of owning the property as of the date of sale, including taxes, utility costs and insurance. You will be required to pay interest on the amount of the purchase price, less the amount of your deposit, from the date of the sale to the date you settle for the property. We recommend that you obtain a fire insurance binder on the property immediately as of the date of sale. The purchaser will pay all of the settlement expenses, including title fees and recording costs.
SETTLEMENT: The settlement or closing period is specified within the terms of sale. You will be expected to settle for the property within the specified time.
FINANCING: It is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain financing. If you plan to use a mortgage to purchase the property, we recommend that you apply for the loan immediately. If the bank must take a longer than specified time to complete the loan, the sellers may extend settlement for a short period of time if you can provide proof of loan commitment. Failure to comply with any of the terms of sale may cause you to forfeit your deposit and be responsible for the expenses to resell the property.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS OF SALE MAY CAUSE YOU TO FORFEIT YOUR DEPOSIT AND BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE EXPENSES TO RESELL THE PROPERTY.
Although information obtained on properties are from reliable sources, Robert B. McArtor reminds all potential bidders on real estate that it is your responsibility to complete all due diligence needed to determine the condition, market value, or investment value of this asset prior to placing a bid. Necessary due diligence items may include, but are not limited to, a) a satisfactory inspection of the property, and b) the satisfactory completion of a title search. By placing a bid, you acknowledge that any statements made by the seller pertaining to the condition or market value of the property are subjective, and do not release you from your responsibility to perform a due diligence review. Properties can be cancelled up to the time of sale for any reason. Please contact the Auctioneer or Trustee for schedule.
