Contact Us: The Real Estate Professionals at Choice Auctions, LLC., are prepared to supply you with information, over the telephone (512-560-1414), or e-mail auctions@apex-auction.com, concerning specific properties as well as the auction process.

Do Your Homework:
Find out as much as you can about the property. Looking in the information section of all Choice Auctions, LLC., advertising will help you retrieve pertinent property information. Request a Property Information Package (PIP) by e-mail at auctions@apex-auction.com.

Read the PIP:
Our Property Information Packages (PIPs) contain property photos, descriptions, terms of the sale and financing information, along with all pertinent documents, in hard copy or downloadable online.

Inspect the Property:
Take full advantage of any inspections conducted by Choice Auctions, LLC. This will allow you, or your representative, to see first hand what you are bidding on and help determine value and desirability. And, allow you to bid with confidence.

Pre-qualify Yourself:
Increase your comfort level by knowing your mortgage qualifications. Even before you decide on a property to buy, you should pre-qualify through your lender or take advantage of our preferred lenders. There is never a mortgage contingency in a real estate auction. It is best to know you can pay for the property before you bid, so you will be able to bid with confidence!

Attend a Local Auction:
Check the local newspapers or join our e-mail list for auctions in your area. Attend and observe one or more auctions and familiarize yourself with the process before you attend an auction as a bidder. The auction process happens quickly, so knowing what to expect is important especially when it is your time to buy.

Plan Your Bid Strategy:
Determine your bid limit after examination of the property and all available information. Don't be afraid to bid early. Most other bidders will be willing to pay just as much as you but the one who bids that number first, wins the day.

Register to Bid:
On auction day, it is to your advantage to arrive at the auction site 1 hour before the auction. By doing so, you will have more time to consult with on-site staff who are prepared to assist you with your last minute questions regarding the property and the auction process. Upon completion of registration you will receive a Bid Packet containing your bid number, Terms of Sale, Purchase and Sale Agreement and a copy of the Property Information Package (PIP).

Bring Required Deposit:
If you are the successful high bidder at an auction, you will be required to affirm your bid with a signature and deposit. All deposits must be in earnest money form, i.e. cash, certified or bank check or pre-approved personal check. Deposit requirements and amounts are clearly listed in the "TERMS" section of all Choice Auctions, LLC., advertising.

Prepare for "Q & A”:
Prior to the start of bidding, our auctioneers conduct a question and answer period. This is an opportunity for registered bidders to ask any last minute questions before the auction begins.

Bid Aggressively:
Until you have won or reached your limit it is important that you let the auctioneer know that you are an interested party. There can be only one winning bidder for the property. You cannot BUY at your price unless you BID your price. GOOD LUCK!
