Auction Financing
Potential bidders in a real estate auction must be qualified financially in order to participate. At RealEstateAuctions.com, we’ve got an auction financing resource that is literally on the map, nationally.
Bank of America is our preferred lending partner and we couldn’t be more proud.
Bank of America is the largest bank holding company in the United States, by assets. The company operates in every state plus the District of Columbia.
What it means for the consumer is unequaled access to the best financing products available.
Because of the accelerated transaction process that typifies a real estate auction, buyers must come prepared to close. The seller promises clear title at closing, ample inspection opportunities and a price he or she will accept that’s often considerably reduced from a previous listing price. Therefore, bidders must be prepared to close.
This means that auctions are not a place for tire-kicking. Bidders must have cash or financing in place to close within 30-45 days. Winning a property at auction, then starting the real estate financing process, is not the recipe for success. Auction contracts provide for no financing contingencies, no closing date push-backs because of a lack of financing. Bidders unable to close on the specified date risk their earnest money and possibly even more. Sellers may seek additional compensation beyond earnest money from buyers unable or unwilling to close beyond.
With auction financing such a critical component, there’s really no better choice than RealEstateAuction.com’s preferred lender, Bank of America.
What distinguishes our relationship with Bank of America is not only the programs and rates available, but the people. Thomas Faille is Bank of America’s Number One Professional Mortgage Counsultant. That’s correct, he’s Number One in the entire Bank of America operation nationwide. He and his team are regular visitors to the offices of RealEstateAuctions.com, educating our auction specialist Realtors about the newest loan options. And of course, Tom and his associates also meet with our clients interested in financing for auction and non-auction real estate. You can’t beat that kind of personal service from the best in the business.
Be sure to have your financing in order before registering to bid at a real estate auction. We’d be pleased if you’d consider our preferred lender, Bank of America, but off course you’re free to select any lender of your choosing. You’d certainly be wise to compare programs from different lenders, however. It’s always important to get a second and even third opinion on important financial undertakings like auction financing.
