NO. The Terms and Conditions of Sale agreed to prior to the auction will govern the sale.

However, your counsel may inspect the title commitment prior to the auction day.

YES, all properties will transfer to the buyer with insurable title as determined by the title/closing agent indicated on the contract.

Closing costs can vary. Potential purchasers should review the Sale and Purchase Agreement for each specific auction property.                                                       

From the commencement of the Auction campaign, potential buyers are welcome to review the title of the property which is issued by a third party title examiner.

The seller is responsible for taking out title insurance and the title/closing firm identified in the Purchase and Sale Agreement will manage the insurable title.

At closing the buyer shall be given the insurable title clear or liens or encumbrances.

Certainly, TriStar Advanced REA recommends you have an inspector review the property;

however, this is required to be done prior to the auction day.

All properties involved with TriStar Advanced REA Auctions are available for preview and inspection.

Anyone who wishes to undertake their own inspection, should contact the TriStar Advanced Real Estate Advisor that is representing the seller to arrange a suitable time

In order to bid at an Auction you will need to register - often this must be done prior to Auction Day.

Prior to registering you will need to completely understand the terms and conditions relating to the specific property. Additionally, you will need to arrange the deposit.

Contact the TriStar Advanced REA listing agent for all documentation or further information.

All auctions conducted by TriStar Advanced REA are subject to a Sellers Expectation or Reserve Price which can be described as the lowest price the seller is willing to accept. The Reserve Price is decided upon between the Seller and the Auctioneer prior to the Auction and is a completely confidential agreement between the Seller and Auctioneer.

As a result the Auctioneer is unable to provide advice to potential purchasers on whether a reserve price has been set or what that reserve price is.

The only point you will have any indication on what a reserve price is, is if the auctioneer calls “we have reached sellers expectation or reserve price” during the auction.

This indicates the seller’s minimum acceptance amount has been reached or surpassed in the bidding process and the property will be sold to the highest bidder.

All of the information and disclosures regarding the property being auctioned is included in the Auction Information Packet, which can be obtained by contacting us or by contacting the relevant TriStar Advanced Real Estate Advisor that is working with the seller. 

♦ All information and disclosures is also located in the property listing on this site.

The only genuine measure of value of real estate is what someone else is willing to pay for a property.

An appraisal is merely an informed opinion. An appraisal is not an offer to buy. The real measure of value of real estate, at any given time,

is what it will bring under competitive bidding from informed and motivated buyers. Buying at auctions ensures you are paying fair market price.

Every auction is different. If a property is being sold as furnished, it will be expressed clearly in the auction’s terms and conditions.

If the document is unclear, please consult the TriStar Advanced REA Listing Agent to clarify. Do not assume anything.

NO, using a real estate agent is an entirely a matter of personal preference. If you wish to use an agent, please feel free.

However; the auction process is a very simple, transparent way of transferring real property between two parties.

Whether you decide to use an agent or not, the Auctioneer of TriStar Advanced REA, is always available to meet with you face to face or over the phone to explain the process and devise any strategies for bidding on the day of auction.

TriStar Advanced REA is committed to ensuring every buyer and/or buyers agent feels 100% comfortable with the process and ensures the buyer feels he or she has been treated fairly, whether or not they are represented.

YES, you should still attend the auction and definitely register to bid. The Auction process is just that. A process.

The process involves many facets including most importantly expectations. The auction process is about educating the price expectations of both sellers and also buyers according to the market.

Or perhaps it may be that your offer is underestimating the value of the property. Regardless, after the seller and the buyers have had the opportunity to see the full marketing campaign over 3-6 weeks and also see the property’s interest on auction day both parties will often reevaluate their expectations.

Just because you are unable to bid under auction terms and conditions does not mean you are unable to purchase a property going to auction.

Anyone is able to make an offer prior to auction day with any terms; however, note these terms need to be very favorable to the sellers in order to them to consider selling prior to auction day.

If the property does not sell on Auction Day you may have another opportunity to submit an offer after auction.

In such circumstances the seller may be more receptive to a contract with contingencies; however, at the same time you risk being involved in a multiple offer situation*, as there may be several other buyers who are in the same situation as you and have been holding out until after auction day.

Therefore, if you are able to get yourself in a position to bid comfortably under auction terms and conditions to a specific amount, buying at auction is the most transparent and certain way to purchase property.

♦ Please refer to the terms and conditions of the auction to understand how all multiple offer situations are handled, TriStar Advanced REA does not handle multiple offers the traditional way.

The deposit will count as a credit towards the purchase price of the property and placed in escrow.

♦ Please note; it is the purchaser's responsibility to obtain financing.

If you plan to use a mortgage to purchase the property, we recommend that you apply for the loan immediately as the closing of an auction contract is not contingent on obtaining finance.

The closing date is typically set to occur on, or before, 30 days from the contract date. Keep in mind that the Purchase & Sale Agreement does not contain any contingencies whatsoever, and is technically an “AS-IS, WHERE-IS” contract.

By bidding on the property, every buyer is representing and warranting to TriStar Advanced REA and to the seller that he or she accepts the property in its current condition, including all fixtures and appliances, is accepting the title per the title insurance commitment, and is prepared to close with no contingencies according to the closing instructions outlined in the contract.
