9. On the day of the auction, we register the bidders and guests and explain our special auction procedures to all in attendance. We begin the auction and receive bids for the highest total dollar amount offered on your property. The total dollar value of the bids may consist of any one or any combination of cash, mortgage financing, owner financing, or exchange. A registered staff member will present absentee bids competitively on behalf of verified bidders. When the highest total dollar bid has been reached, the auction segment is complete. Immediately, the highest bid is written into a contract offer and presented to you. The contract is secured by an earnest money deposit payable to a selected title company and held before it is cashed until the offer is accepted. Other bidders who did not win the bidding may be allowed to hold their position by signing a Statement of Intent that describes their bid, which is secured by an earnest money deposit.
10. The contract offer is presented to you. You must accept, counter, or decline the offer on sale day. As directed by you, we will negotiate the follow-up as necessary to sell your property.
