Any unsold property will be offered for sale again at the next auction, whenever that may be.
The highest bidder will receive their purchase contract and balance due via email within five (5) hours following the close of the auction.

There will be a buyer’s premium of 10% of the highest bid or $100.00, whichever is greater, added to the winning bid, and deed recordation costs, as determined by the Fairfax County Circuit Court, added to the winning bid to determine the final contract price. Please consider the buyer’s premium and recordation costs when placing bids.

Fairfax County has the right to reject any bids determined to be unreasonable in relation to estimated value of the property.
The sale of property to the highest bidder is not contingent upon obtaining financing. Financing, if needed, is the sole responsibility of the high bidder. By bidding, parties are entering into a legally binding contract, waive all rescission rights, and understand that their bid is immediately binding, irrevocable, and enforceable. Additionally, by bidding, parties are representing that they have read, and agree to be bound by, all terms and conditions for this sale.

By bidding, you are representing to TACS and the Auction Firm that you have read, and agree to be bound by, all Terms and Conditions for this sale as stated herein. DO NOT BID unless you have read, and agree to be bound by, ALL of these non-negotiable Terms of Sale.
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE AUCTION BIDDING APP: This online-only auction is controlled by “Bid Wrangler” (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 “issues”.
THE AUCTION: Bidding is open to the general public (any who are registered and approved by the Auction Firm). The Auction Firm shall control the bidding increments and retains the right to modify them at any time during the auction. Bidding will begin on Friday, August 21, 2020 at 11 A.M. (EDT), and will begin closing on Friday, August 28, 2020 at 11:00 A.M. (EDT). If any potential bidders have interest in bidding on a property, but do not have internet computer, smart phone, and/or internet access; please contact the Auction Firm who will assist with creating your account and placing your bids.*
*A Brief Explanation of the Bidding Process* Interested Bidders can bid online any time during the timed auction bidding period. This “Timed” method is similar to how eBay operates… where Bidders can enter their maximum bid amounts and walk away (with the software handling your bid increases automatically thereafter), or you can proactively enter each bid individually... as you desire. You will receive “Push Notifications” whenever you are outbid by another Bidder. Any bid made in the closing two minutes of the auction will extend the bidding time on that property for an additional 2 minutes to allow the previous high bidder to receive their outbid notification, and allow them the opportunity to increase their bid. Please contact the Auction Firm if you have any questions or require assistance with bidding or app functionality.
BUYER’S PREMIUM AND CLOSING: A Buyer’s Premium of 10% of the high bid amount or $100.00, whichever is greater, will be added to the final bid to determine the total sales price (for example: a high bid in the amount of $10,000.00 will have a 10% Buyer’s Premium ($1,000.00) added to the high bid for a total sales price of $11,000.00. Please consider the Buyer's Premium when placing all bids. The Buyer’s Premium is non-negotiable.
CONTRACTUAL DEFAULT/NON-PERFORMANCE: If the Buyer fails to complete the transaction for ANY reason, their funds paid will be forfeited and they will be held responsible for any deficiency in price upon resale, and the costs of resale, among any other remedies allowed by law. BE ADVISED… State law allows TACS the right to pursue legal action against Bidders/Purchasers who refuse to complete their contractual obligations. This may include, but is not limited to, suit to compel completion of the sale and/or criminal charges of fraud or other intentional act, as well as any other remedies available in law or in equity, including damages for any insufficiency between the original sales price and the price realized upon resale, as well as original expenses of sale and the expense of resale. In addition, any high bidder who fails to fulfill their contractual obligations will be banned from bidding at ALL future auctions conducted by this Auction Firm.
AS IS - WHERE IS SALE: All properties are being sold strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS, IF IS” with no financing, inspections, or other contingencies of sale. The sale is immediately binding and irrevocable. Bidders must conduct their own due diligence and investigation of the property to determine suitability prior to placing any bids. Bidders must rely solely upon their own investigation and not on information provided by TACS, County Department of Tax Administration, 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. The registered bidder is personally, financially, and legally responsible for their bids and actions, whether representing themselves, or acting as an Agent for another.
