Terms and Conditions of Online Only Real Estate Auction
This online only auction is subject to seller confirmation and is a cash sale not contingent on or subject to financing, appraisal, survey, or inspections of any kind, as agreed to by bidders at registration prior to bidding and specified in the Real Estate Purchase Contract.
Once you place a bid, it cannot be removed, even if you have bid incorrectly. Please verify your bids before submitting.
COVID-19 ADDENDUM: In the event complying with the terms of the Contract is not reasonably possible or practical as a result of unforeseen circumstances related to COVID-19, including but not limited to any of the following: the declaration of a state or national emergency; lack of inspectors; Buyer's or Seller's inability to travel to sign documents; Buyer or Seller being subject to a mandatory quarantine; closing of or delays in related government and business services such as closing of lenders, title/escrow, or otherwise (as Unforeseen Circumstance), the Contract shall be amended as agreed upon between the parties.
Bidding increments are as follows:
$200 - $1000 = $25
$1,000 - $10,000 = $100
$10,000 - $25,000 = $500
$25,000 - $500,000 = $1,000
$500,000 - $1,000,000 = $5,000
$1,000,000 and up = $10,000
A Buyer's Premium of 10% ($1,500 minimum) is added to the high bid. Please take this into consideration when bidding. [EXAMPLE: Final bid price on a property is $100,000 + 10% buyer's premium of $10,000 = Final price of $110,000]. This is the actual sales price that will be used on the purchase agreement, and the number upon which transfer tax and title insurance are based. At the close of the auction, the successful Bidder will be emailed Real Estate Purchase Contract to be executed and returned to Theurer Auction/Realty, LLC within 24 hours.
Successful Bidders will deposit $2,500 in the form of a cashier's check or wire transfer with Pfalzgraf & Dierking Title within 48 hours of the completion of the auction. The earnest money deposit is non-refundable. The entirety of the remaining balance is due in certified funds at closing within 30 days from Auction Day. Buyer will be responsible for all wire transfers.
Per the Contract, time is of the essence; you should proceed to closing within 30 days. Possession shall be given to the successful Buyer(s) at closing, and all closing fees charged by the Title Company are shared equally between Buyer(s) and Seller(s).
Successful Bidders not executing and returning their Contract with Earnest Money deposit within 48 hours of the conclusion of the auction will be considered in default. If your closing is delayed for any reason, by you, as Buyer, or other parties working on your behalf, including any lender you involve, you may be declared in breach of this contract, forfeit all deposits made, and could be additionally liable for any and all costs incurred by Seller and Theurer Auction/Realty LLC incurred in a subsequent resale of the property.
Buyer(s) must be prepared to make a cash offer. There are no contingencies to this sale (i.e. financing, appraisal, repairs, or inspections). Therefore, you should be pre-qualified by a lender prior to bidding if you require financing. This property is being sold for cash "as-is, where-is" with a closing deadline.
Theurer Auction/Realty LLC reserves the right to remove or cancel the bids and or bidding rights and privileges of any party at any time deemed not to be in the best interest of the seller. The identity of all bidders will be verified, bidding rights are provisional, and if complete verification is not possible, Theurer Auction/Realty LLC will reject the registration, and bidding activity will be terminated.

Bidder acknowledges that Bidder has been provided an opportunity to inspect prior to the ending of the Auction and that Bidder has either performed all desired inspections or accepts the risk of having not done so. Buyer(s) will rely on his/her own judgment and inspection. By signing an offer, Buyer(s) will be waiving the 10 day lead based paint test.
Seller(s) will provide an owner's policy of title and convey title with a Warranty Deed. Owner’s Title Policy will be shared equally between Seller and Buyer. Any lender’s policy will be the sole responsibility and cost of the Buyer.

Real Estate is sold subject to any and all existing matters of record, and all easements, building use or zoning laws and regulations. Properties that are currently rented are subject to Tenant's Rights. There are no security deposits for any properties. Taxes and assessments for the current tax year will be pro-rated to the closing date.
All rental units must comply with city building codes to obtain or keep occupancy permits. All expenses are the responsibility of the buyer.
