Auctioneer/broker does not have a current survey on file. Quoted acreage or lot size is taken from subject property’s county GIS mapping system.

Buyer's Premium: There will be a Ten Percent (10%) Buyer’s Premium added to the final bid price to determine the final contract purchase price. For example, a bid of $100,000 is a contract price of $110,000.

During this auction process, there is a chance that you will be outbid. If you have the bidding app, you will receive a popup notification, otherwise, you will receive an email. It is the responsibility of the bidder to realize and maintain their desired bidding position. You may place a maximum (max bid) which will allow the computer to protect you up to that amount. If you place a bid and immediately get a message that you have been outbid, that means someone has already placed a max bid and you will need to continue bidding until you are the high bidder to supersede the previously inputted max bid.
