The auction method is designed to let qualified buyers compete and establish the property’s market value.
No seller repairs or concessions after the auction contract is signed.
The contract is not contingent upon another home selling, financing, appraisal, or inspection.
A professional, concentrated marketing campaign brings maximum attention to the property.
The seller does not pay a real estate commission, potentially saving thousands of dollars.
A substantial non-refundable deposit is required from the successful bidder based on the final bid price.
Buyers may obtain a loan, but the auction contract is not contingent upon financing.
Closing is generally scheduled within two to four weeks after the live auction or an accepted pre-auction offer.
The property may sell before auction day when the seller accepts a qualified pre-auction offer.
The buyer pays a buyer’s premium, title expense, and state transfer tax under the auction terms.
The seller is responsible for a marketing expense and closing attorney expense, which vary by property type.
NashvilleAuctions.com brings the property to an established daily audience of prospective buyers.
Final auction structure, costs, contract terms, and timing vary by property and are confirmed with the seller before marketing begins.
