Terms:  The successful purchasers will be required to sign the seller’s real estate purchase agreement on sale day and make an earnest money deposit equal to fifteen percent (15%) of the contract price.  Sale will close within thirty (30) days after the date of auction at which time the purchaser will pay the balance of the purchase price.  A 10% buyer’s premium will be added to all purchases to arrive at a contract price.

Conduct of the auction and increments of bidding are at the direction of the auctioneer.  All properties will be sold subject to the sellers reserving the right or confirmation within ninety-six (96) hours.  Since the sellers are highly motivated to sell on the date of the sale, the announcement of acceptance of final bids could be synonymous with the time and place of the auction.

Survey: All property must be surveyed, with the survey to be completed no less than ten (10) days prior to closing by a licensed Georgia registered surveyor.  The cost of the survey is to be paid by the purchaser, which cost is separate from and in addition to the purchase price.

Durham and Associates, Inc., will have the final approval of the selected surveyor.
