Proof of funds consists of a copy, fax, or original of a current bank statement in bidder’s name showing sufficient funds for 10% earnest money deposit.

3) You must submit a $5,000 Initial Bid Deposit in order to be allowed to bid. This may be accomplished by wiring the funds to our escrow account (wire instructions provided upon request) or overnighting the funds to our mailing address.

AUCTION INFORMATION:

All available material and updates are posted to www.AMCbid.com. Due diligence materials, Auction Purchase and Sale Agreement, Broker Registration forms, and other information may be obtained by calling 877-980-9565, or by visiting the website.

 

INSPECTION: Property may be inspected on Monday, May 2nd and 9th at 10:30am SHARP. Anyone wishing to inspect must sign a RIGHT OF ENTRY AGREEMENT AND RELEASE AND WAIVER OF LIABILITY (download from our website) in order to be allowed access onto the site.

 

BUYER’S PREMIUM: Property will be sold with a Step-rate Buyer’s Premium (BP) of 10% of the first $400,000 bid, and 5% of the amount bid over $400,000. The bid amount plus Buyer’s Premium equals the final purchase price.

 

For Example, using a winning bid of $1,000,000, the buyers premium (added to the winning bid) is determined as follows:

First $400,000 bid yields a 10% Buyer’s Premium of….………………………...$40,000

Next $600,000 bid yields a 5% Buyer’s Premium of…………………………..…$30,000

For a total BP of …………………………………………………….……………….$70,000

which produces a Total Purchase Price of $1,070,000 ($1,000,000 Bid Plus $70,000 BP)
