About This Home

Property is being sold in an as-is condition, and the condition is unknown and may include defects, possible health or safety hazards, or debris, or be located in a Special Flood Hazard Area. Proof of Funds Required. The seller requires that the high bidder be able to demonstrate proof of funds or financing pre-qualification within 24 hours of the auction. Buyer must obtain a pre-qualification letter from a lender of their choice. If buyer intends to pay with cash, a bank letter or other financial account statement showing proof of sufficient funds to cover 100% of the purchase price will be required (account numbers should be removed or redacted). Buyer understands and agrees to submit said documentation to auctioneer within 24 hours of the auction. Buyer understands and acknowledges that square footage, acreage, and/or bedroom and bathroom count for the building sited on the property is based on an appraisal or county assessor information. Buyer further understands and acknowledges that measurements/acreage/count can vary from a few feet to several hundred feet regardless of source (County Assessor's records, appraisal, or appraisal measurement report, etc.) and that said sources may contain erroneous information or measurements/acreage/count. Buyer should conduct their own investigation and satisfy that the size and/or square footage, acreage, and bedroom/bathroom count of the dwelling/building is acceptable to the Buyer prior to placing any bid or offer on a property. By placing a bid or offer on a property, Buyer is accepting the property in as-is where-is condition and agrees to be bound to the bid or offer should a discrepancy arise. Title Disclosure. Closing must occur on or before 30 days from seller's acceptance of offer provided title is clear. If a valid objection or preclusion to title is identified by the Closer, seller shall, at seller's option: have one-hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the original closing (the "Cure Period") or such additional time as may be agreed to in writing by the Parties to satisfy such objections and preclusions; or, choose to terminate the transaction by returning Buyer's down payment upon which the parties shall incur no further liability to the transaction or each other. For further clarification, please read the sample contract available on our website. Occupation and Utilities Disclosure. To the best of Seller's knowledge, the property is vacant. The utilities to this property are not currently turned on and the property may be winterized. Utilities will not be turned on prior to closing, regardless of inspections. Buyer will need to consider this and account for it if/when inspecting the property. Buyer is responsible for utility transfer post-closing. The Buyer will be responsible for the payment of all UCC Liens of Record on the property and the clearance from the title commitment of the lien if so required. On this Second Chance property the foreclosure deed may not yet be recorded. Seller will make every reasonable effort to ensure the deed is filed of record as soon as possible. Redemption Notice. Buyer acknowledges that this property may be bound by the state rules of redemption. The foreclosed debtor, junior lien holders, spouse of debtor, heirs, among others have up to one year from the date of the foreclosure to redeem the property, depending upon specific circumstances. Redemption period does not prohibit conveyance. The redeeming party must pay to the new buyer the foreclosure purchase price, plus interest as defined in state law for money judgments in Alabama code 8-8-10, accruing from the date of foreclosure sale to the date of redemption, plus lawful charges as that term is defined in Alabama code 6-5-253. Redemption will expire no later than 07-13-2027. Buyer acknowledges that buyer has no rights, claims, or recourse against seller for any loss or damage resulting from redeeming party's exercise of redemption rights.
