All potential bidders must register prior to the start of the auction, either online or in person. A valid government-issued photo ID is required. Please refer to the Burgess Auctions Bidder Registration & Acknowledgment Form for complete registration requirements. Burgess Auctions LLC reserves the right to require proof of funds or a pre-qualification letter and to refuse registration to any prospective bidder.
3. Buyer's Premium
A 10% Buyer's Premium will be added to the final high bid to determine the total contract purchase price.

4. Down Payment
The winning bidder must deliver a non-refundable down payment of $10,000 immediately following the close of bidding on auction day, payable to Fidelity National Title.

This down payment will be credited toward the total contract purchase price at closing.
5. Purchase Agreement & Contract Documentation
The winning bidder will be required to execute a Real Estate Purchase Agreement immediately following the auction. The sale will be completed using the standard Indiana Association of Realtors Purchase Agreement, along with an auction-specific addendum outlining all terms and conditions.

Failure to execute the purchase agreement or deliver the down payment as required will constitute a default, and the property may be re-offered at the auctioneer's discretion.
