| Item | Typical | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer’s Premium | 10% of the high bid | Our commission is funded by the Buyer’s Premium. |
| Deposit | Published per auction | Due immediately after the auction; see each listing for amount/form. |
| Settlement | ~30 days | Varies by deal/state; title company coordinates the closing. |
| Condition | As-is | Plan for your own due diligence; no repair credits or concessions. |
| Access | Per listing | Some properties are vacant/boarded; see “Access” on the listing page. |
Tip: If you’re financing, speak with lenders who regularly fund auction purchases and confirm deposit/closing timelines in advance.
