When I sell my house at auction, may I set a reserve?

Yes! Although a home that is sold absolute to the highest bidder, is a great marketing strategy, a reserve may be placed on the home. The reserve is not disclosed to the public and the home will be fully marketed to obtain the highest price.

Do I have to sell my home if reserve is not met?

Absolutely not! The Property will be sold Subject to Seller’s Confirmation, only if high bid is less than the agreed upon reserve.  This means that after the High Bid  has been received and acknowledged by Auctioneer, Seller may determine, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to (i) accept such bid or (ii) reject such bid.

Are homes sold at auction typically foreclosures?
