This property is being offered subject to Seller confirmation/approval of the final bid price. This method allows the Seller to reserve the right to accept or decline any bid placed on the property. However, our sellers are highly motivated to sell. The seller has elected to use the online auction method to reduce their time in the market and convert the property to immediate cash. Bid with confidence! The Individual Sale of Tract #1 and Tract #2 is contingent upon the sum total of their two bids being greater than the final high bid of Tract 3 (A Combination of the two tracts as though they are a single tract.) Example: Final High Bid on Tract #1 $ 50,000 Final High Bid on Tract #2 $ 40,000 Sum Total of Individual Bids $ 90,000 Final High Bid on Tract #3 $ 95,000 In the above example the bid on Tract #3 would be the winning bid because its bid price is greater than the sum total of the individual bids. In case of a tie bid there will be a private bid-off between the high bidders. Also, the sale and closing of Tract #2 individually is contingent upon Tract #1 also selling and closing. The Seller has elected to use the online auction method to reduce their time in the market and convert the property to immediate cash. Bid with confidence! Can I use bank financing?
