MULTI-PARCEL RESERVE REAL ESTATE AUCTION TERMS & CONDITIONS
1. REGISTRATION This is an online-only auction. All bidders must register online and agree to these Auction Terms & Conditions prior to bidding. By registering, bidders acknowledge they have read, understand, and agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions, including any additions, deletions, revisions, or announcements made by Seller or Atterberry Auction & Realty Company prior to the close of the auction.
If you have not read and reviewed the Terms & Conditions of Sale, do not bid. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect all properties prior to bidding.
2. ULTIMATE CHOICE BIDDING The properties are being offered individually as well as in combinations utilizing an Ultimate Choice Bidding format. Bidding on individual properties will remain open throughout the auction. Combination bidding will open on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
Once bidding is open for combinations on Tuesday, July 7, 2026, properties may move in and out of combination bidding depending on which bidding format produces the highest overall sale price. If you are the high bidder on an individual property and another bidder places a higher bid on a combination of properties that includes your property, you may temporarily lose the winning position on the individual property. However, if the combination bid is later outbid or no longer produces the highest overall sale price, the auction software may place you back into the winning position on the individual property at your previous bid amount.
The auction software will automatically determine whether the highest overall sale price is achieved through individual property bidding or combination bidding.
This auction does not utilize a max bid or proxy bidding feature. All bids placed are live bids and will immediately display on the auction website as the current high bid. For example, if the current bid is $100,000 and a bidder places a bid of $150,000, the website will display $150,000 as the current high bid.
3. SPECIAL NOTES All properties are being sold AS IS, WHERE IS with no warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, by Seller or Atterberry Auction & Realty Company. Any personal property owned by Seller and remaining on the property at the time of closing shall convey with the real estate unless otherwise stated. All sales are final and are not contingent upon financing, appraisal, inspection, or any other contingency unless otherwise stated in writing.
Successful bidders must execute the Contract for Sale of Real Estate and deliver the required earnest money deposit by the end of business on the day the auction closes. Failure to do so shall constitute default. In the event a successful bidder fails to execute the contract and submit the earnest money deposit as required, Atterberry Auction & Realty Company reserves the right to charge the bidder up to $1,000 to the credit card provided during registration to help offset administrative costs and damages associated with bidder default. Seller and Atterberry Auction & Realty Company reserve all additional legal and contractual remedies available under the Auction Terms & Conditions and Contract for Sale of Real Estate, including the right to sell the property to the second-highest bidder.
4. AUCTION END TIMES Atterberry Auction & Realty County Online Auctions are timed events with a specified closing time. Our auctions use an auto-extend feature, which means that if a bid is placed within the final 3 minutes, the countdown will reset to 3 minutes to allow other bidders a chance to respond. The auto-extend feature remains active until no additional bids are placed during the extended bidding period.
5. ACCEPTANCE OF FINAL BID All properties are being offered subject to individual reserve amounts.
