Steps to Purchasing Property at AuctionAs with any other real estate purchase, it's important to do your homework. Here are some steps we suggest:
 

• Try to attend several real estate auctions before you become an active bidder. This will help you familiarize yourself with the auction environment and provide a better understanding of bidding strategy
• Study the information available on the property.
• Decide whether you wish to be represented by a real estate broker. If you do, be sure to have your broker review and register with our broker participation form as soon as possible.
• Request a Property Information Package (PIP). This packet contains detailed information about the property such as property disclosure, plats, pictures, survey reports, auction terms and conditions, demographics, zoning information and floor plans.
• Visit the property on preview dates. Open houses are held approximately 1-2 weeks prior to the auction date. During property previews you are encouraged to ask questions and become familiar with all aspects of the property. Our properties are sold “as is-where is” without contingencies of any kind (other than a clear title). We strongly encourage prospective bidders to inspect the property and become familiar with all aspects of the property and auction prior to auction day.
• Review all auction documents-You should know exactly what you are bidding on and  what terms and conditions you will be signing and agreeing to.
• Arrange financing, if needed. You'll want to have any needed financing arranged before auction day.
• Verify bidder registration requirements. AJ Karas Auctioneers require a cashier’s check to be eligible to register to bid. This information is available on the auctions detail page or by calling 1.877.612.8494
