What is a Good Faith Authorization Charge?
A Good Faith Authorization Charge will not go towards the purchase of the property, and it is not a deposit. It is a hold that allows us to validate your account and confirm that you are a serious bidder.
Once the authorization is approved, this charge will appear as a hold on your credit card. If you are using a debit card, the Good Faith Authorization Charge will appear as a pending transaction. Acceptable Payment Methods: Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express.
