A Buyer will be required to acknowledge, in writing, that Buyer has physically inspected and fully investigated the suitability of the parcel, including the availability of utilities and means of access or lack of same as a requirement to purchase.

Prior to attending the auction, you should select the parcels of your choice, call for copies of maps, and inspect the properties personally. RESERVE AUCTION All parcels have a reserve price, meaning the Seller has established an unpublished, minimum selling price. The starting bid is not the reserve price. In order to win the auction, a bidder must meet or exceed the reserve price and have the highest bid. If no bidders meet the reserve price, the Seller is under no obligation to sell the property. The Auctioneer may advance the bidding on behalf of the Seller. The Seller may withdraw a property at any time prior to the announcement of the completion of the sale by the Auctioneer. All the information contained in this brochure was obtained from official county maps or other sources deemed reliable, but is not guaranteed and may be in error. Seller DOES NOT WARRANT the accuracy thereof. Auctioneer has made no independent investigation of any information provided, and assumes no responsibility for the providing of or absence of any information, whatsoever, or for the accuracy thereof. The Seller reserves the right to deny any person admittance to or expel anyone from the auction site for interference, nuisance, canvassing, solicitation or any other reason. HOW TO BE A SUCCESSFUL BIDDER Inspect, Investigate, and Succeed Real property is unique and therefore should be thoroughly investigated before you bid at the auction. The property we sell may be flat or steep, sandy or rocky, dry or wet, with or without trees, with or without views, with or without roads, with or without access ("Landlocked"), with or without utilities (electricity, water, gas, telephone, sewer, etc.), buildable or unbuildable, city lots to rural acreage and everything in between. Because we sell all types of property, to be successful you must inspect the property first-hand. Then if you like what you see, talk to the municipal planning department and any other agency involved with real property (Assessor, Tax-Collector, local utility companies, etc.). Then determine its value and set your own price. Each of these properties is unique in it's own way and the only way to make sure your getting what you want is to thoroughly do your homework before you bid. Inspect, investigate and succeed.
