AUCTION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

AUCTION REGISTRATION: In order to register for the auction, you must have pre-inspected the property and must confirm that you have done your own inspection prior to registration. The online registration form will need to be completed before online bidding is enabled.

AUCTION INFORMATION & OFFICES: All available material and updates are posted to www.amcbid.com . Due diligence materials, Title Commitments, Auction Purchase and Sale Agreement, Broker Registration forms, and other information may be obtained by calling 770-980-9565, or by visiting our website.

CONDUCT OF THE AUCTION: Online bidding will begin twenty days prior to the auction. The auction ends when the highest bid is recognized by the Auctioneer. The auction begins to end on Wednesday, March 2 at 11 AM CT. Any bid within the last five minutes of the bid deadline causes an automatic extension of bidding. If there are multiple assets being sold, all of the assets in the auction are in the same extension group, which means that a bid placed on any of the assets extends the bidding on all of the assets for 5 minutes. When 5 minutes passes with no bidding on any assets, the auction closes. Because bidders may bid on different assets, the auction could therefore continue for several minutes to an hour or two after the initial bid deadline. Bid increments and bidding methodology are subject to change at the sole discretion of the Auctioneer.

BUYER'S PREMIUM: Property will be sold with a ten percent (10%) Buyer's Premium. The bid amount plus Buyer's Premium equals the final Purchase Price. For example: A $100,000 bid, plus the 10% ($10,000) Buyer's Premium, equals the $110,000 final Purchase Price.

TERMS OF SALE FOR REAL ESTATE: Winning bidders (“Purchasers”) will pay an Earnest Money deposit of twenty percent (20%) of the Purchase Price (bid amount plus Buyer’s Premium). Upon conclusion of the bidding, Purchaser will sign the Auction Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Auction PSA”), and must submit  earnest money deposit in the form of a wire transfer to Closing Agent/ Escrow Holder as specified in the Auction PSA within 24 hours of auction. The Earnest Money deposit is non-refundable.

Closing must occur no later than 30 days from the auction date unless extended in writing by mutual consent of the parties.
