PLEASE REGISTER EARLY!

FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AUCTION BIDDING APP: This Simulcast auction is controlled by our auction app software. The Auction Firm is not responsible for software functionality or lack thereof, internet malfunctions or connectivity issues, and/or bidding application or systems errors which could cause a bid to fail to be recognized, fail to successfully register an interested bidder, or recognize their bid. In the event of any bidding platform errors and/or related issues, the property could sell to the previous high bidder of record. There is no recourse, or remedy, implied or offered, to any online Bidders in the event of any aforementioned “errors” &/or “issues”.

*A Brief Explanation of the Bidding Process* Interested Bidders can bid online any time during the timed auction bidding period.

Please contact the Auction Firm if you have any questions or require assistance with bidding or functionality of the app.

Please consider the Buyer's Premium when placing all bids. The Buyer’s Premium is firm and is non-negotiable.

Bidders must rely solely upon their own investigation and not on information provided by the Special Commissioner, County of Grayson, Town of Fries, the Auction Firm, or any of their employees or representatives. Failure of a bidder to be fully informed on a property will not constitute grounds for claims or to cancel the sale. All information provided regarding the properties was obtained from official public records and/or other sources deemed reliable and believed correct, but is not warranted or guaranteed whatsoever. Please, DO NOT BID if you have not completed your due diligence.

*NOTICE* By bidding, you are entering into a legally binding contract. An online, public auction bid, is legal and binding. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS OR BID CANCELLATIONS.
