is committed to making your purchase a satisfying experience.
We will provide everything needed to allow you to bid with confidence.
Before, during and after the sale, we're always available.

BEFORE THE SALE

• You must be a Registered Buyer and have Bid Authorization to bid on properties.
  There are several additional benefits to registering, not the least of which is FREE access to Due Diligence Packages on all properties. Click here to learn about the benefits of joining the Auctions-West Bidders Club.
   

• Register to Bid : Register to bid at least 3-5 days before the start of the e-Auction so you can be approved to bid in time.
   

• Bid Authorization : Fill out the online form to expedite your credit approval to bid.
   

• As with all major purchases, it's advisable to do your research.
            - Read the information we provide for each property to be sold.
            - Check out what the web site has to offer. This will include basic information and pictures of the property as well as a Due Diligence Package (DDP) (in a format you can download and print). The DDP offers a more detailed look at the property, generally including: current title info, maps, pictures, water info, usage history, etc.
            - Visit the property. For most e-Auction offerings there will be ample time and opportunity for inspection. Viewing dates for listed properties will be posted.
   

• Arrange your financing, if needed. Normally, properties are sold without any contingencies, so you'll want to be ready to proceed with the transaction on sale day.
   

• Check out the Specific Terms of Sale requirements. Most of our auctions require a deposit in the form of a cashier's check, wire transfer or credit card for you to be eligible to bid. The amount required will be published as part of the sale information for the specific property. Specific Terms of Sale are part of the Due Diligence Package.
   

• To cover costs associated with implementing the sale, Auctions-West charges a Buyer's Premium to the successful bidder. Normally, this is 5-10% on top of the winning bid. Potential buyers should look at the property details for the actual percentage and incorporate this fee into their calculations for the value of the property.
   

• Read the General Sale Terms for Auctions-West sales. Placing a bid on a property is an acknowledgement that you have read and agree to these terms.
   

DURING THE e-AUCTION

• Both the Listings and Details screens will refresh every 60 seconds to update you on current bids and time remaining. You can refresh the screen manually more often if you desire.
   

• BID! If you want the property and you've decided what it's worth to you, don't let the opportunity to own it slip by. 

• If you make a bid on a property, you will be notified of your bid status by e-mail.
   

SOLD!

CONGRATULATIONS, you're the winning bidder! 

• You will receive an e-mail notification of your successful bid. We will contact you immediately following the sale to make arrangements for signing documents.
