BUYERS PREMIUM
A ten percent (10%) buyer’s premium calculated on the final bid price will be added to the final bid price to establish the final contract price paid by the buyer on both real estate and personal property.
LIVE ON-SITE BIDDER REGISTRATION
Bidders must register to receive a bid number in order to place a bid on the property. The bid card is also a contract, read carefully before signing. You will be able to register on-site day of auction. Save time and call today to Pre-Register for the auction at 615.590.4240. At the Auction, present your drivers license to the clerk. The clerk will take a picture of your driver’s license. If you must obtain a mortgage loan to purchase this property you should bring a copy of a “Pre-Approval” letter from a qualified loan provider, but it is not required to bid at the auction. If you decide to bid above the amount that you are approved for, you will be responsible for the gap difference between the appraisal and the final contract price.

On-line only bidders are required prior to bidding to send a Bank Letter or Lender Pre-Approval Letter and fill out a pre-registration form. The Auction Company will verify and sign the pre-registration form and return to the potential bidder. Send all documents to Mark@NashvilleAuctions.Com.
VERBAL PRE-AUCTION OFFERS
The Auctioneer advertises “Pre-Auction Offers are Welcome” as a way for the buyer to purchase the property prior to or during the live Online Only Auction event. Pre-Auction offers are predicated on the fact that the buyer will be purchasing under the same terms as the Auction event including, but not limited to, adding the buyer’s premium to the bid price offer to obtain the final contract price. The Auctioneer will verbally call the seller with any pre-auction offers based on the fiduciary of the Auctioneer to present any and all purchase offers prior to the actual Auction event. If the Seller decides to “entertain” the verbal offer, then the buyer will be required to provide a Bank letter of Credit or Pre-Approval Letter and the advertised non-refundable trust money made out to Nashville Auctions before entering the home. The seller may require a larger non-refundable deposit amount for pre-auction offers than was advertised. At this time the buyer has the opportunity to walk through and inspect the property. If the buyer decides to move forward, a non-contingent Auction purchase contract and supporting documents will be signed and sent to the Seller for final approval and signing. These are the exact same documents that would be signed on the day of the auction. The Seller at any point in the process could decide to accept another offer or decline and wait for the actual final auction date. If a Pre-Auction offer is accepted in writing by both parties the Auction event will be cancelled. The closing date may be adjusted to a quicker close date depending on when the offer was accepted. This date will be disclosed and agreed too prior to acceptance of the offer and in writing.

Jamie’s Office: 615-425-3775, Cell: (615) 975-8741, jamie@prosperitylends.com. You are not required to accept any mortgage terms for the auction.
