1.     This sale will be closed by Randall Chew and Justin Adams of Chew & Adams, P. C. located at 151 Curry Street, Pelham, GA 31779, (229) 294-4460.  The closing attorney will charge the purchaser a closing fee of $485.00 per cash transaction and $685.00 per loan transaction.  This fee includes conducting the closing, collecting and disbursing the funds and preparing a closing statement.  If the purchaser wants a title opinion or other services, the closing attorney will provide them for an additional fee.  The seller will pay for the preparation of the Deed only.  The purchaser will pay all other closing costs associated with this sale including but not limited to recording, transfer tax, financing expenses, intangible taxes, title fees, title insurance, appraisals and inspection reports. The purchaser will be responsible for any bank wire fees associated with the closing incurred by the receiving or sending of purchaser’s earnest money deposits.

 

2.     Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Closing cannot occur when scheduled due to a COVID-19 related event (“CRE”) resulting in the closing attorney, the mortgage lender and/or the Buyer and/or Seller being unable to perform their respective obligations, then the Closing shall be postponed until 7 days after the specific event delaying the Closing has been resolved. If the Buyer or Seller is unable to perform due to a CRE, the affected party shall promptly notify the other party both of the CRE and of its resolution. Buyer or Seller having concerns about attending the Closing or self-quarantining (in the absence of a quarantine or government ordered lockdown that specifically applies to Buyer and/or Seller) shall not excuse Buyer or Seller from attending the Closing either in-person, virtually or through a power of attorney. Buyer or Seller presently having COVID-19 shall excuse Buyer and/or Seller from attending the Closing until the party is no longer at risk of infecting others. However, in all situations where Buyer and/or Seller cannot attend the Closing, Buyer and or Seller shall use their best efforts to fulfill their contractual obligations through a power of attorney. Buyer or Seller experiencing a job loss, reduction in salary or other financial hardship shall not be deemed a CRE. If the CRE causing a permitted delay results in the Closing being delayed by more than 90 days from the original Closing date, then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement without penalty upon notice to the other party. 

 

3.     In the event the property sells divided a boundary survey will be made by D. Scott Langford of Langford and Associates, Inc., 3054 Calhoun Street, Shellman, Georgia, (229) 310-1467, a land surveyor registered in the state of Georgia to perform a boundary survey of the property in accordance with the minimum technical requirements for the state of Georgia and certified in favor of Purchaser and Seller. The Survey shall be subject to Seller’s approval.  The surveyor will charge $0.40 cents per linear foot on all exterior lines and $0.20 cents per linear foot on all common lines between auction purchasers.  Division stakes are intended for approximation use only.  Actual boundary lines are to be determined by field survey and may vary from field markers.  It is understood that the acreage and dimensions of the tracts may vary according to the actual survey.  All survey expenses will be paid by the Purchaser.  For this fee, the surveyor will mark all property corners and provide the Purchaser with a recordable plat. This fee does not include the actual openings of the lines. The surveyor will open lines for an additional fee.  As used herein, the term "surveyed acreage" means the total gross acreage of the property without any deduction for any portion thereof located within the bounds of any roadways (except deeded roads) easements or other rights of way, including, without limitation, electric transmission lines or other utility easements. If the purchaser wants survey services in addition to the above-described services, the surveyor will provide them for an additional fee.  In the event either party defaults under the terms of this Contract, the defaulting party will be responsible for the surveying expense.

As Is, Where Is: 

All property is selling “As-Is, Where Is” with all faults.  It is the buyer’s responsibility to conduct any and all inspections and perform all acts of due diligence deemed necessary before bidding.  Placing a bid will be considered as acceptance of the property in it’s as-is condition. 

Bidder Default: 

In the event a winning bidder fails to submit the signed Contract for Sale and/or earnest money deposit within 24 hours of the close of the auction, the winning bidder shall be liable in damages for 10% of the Contract Price.  This is a fair pre-estimate of the damages incurred by the winning bidder’s failure to consummate the transaction, the loss of revenue from marketing the auction, and the potential damages incurred in the future from the chilling effect such breach may have upon future auction customers and bidders.  The actual damages incurred by The Weeks Group for a winning bidder’s failure to submit a signed Contract for Sale and/or earnest money deposit as set forth herein is difficult, if not impossible, to determine for the reasons set forth above, but the sum of the damages set forth herein is a reasonable pre-estimate of the probable loss, and by submitting any bid, the bidder is expressly agreeing to these terms as set forth herein.  Further, a winning bidder that breaches the terms as this agreement expressly authorizes The Weeks Group to charge the defaulting bidder’s credit card provided at registration for the full amount of the damages set forth herein, and if such charge is not permitted for any reason, the bidder shall immediately pay the agreed upon damage price to The Weeks Group in the form of certified funds payable to “The Weeks Group.” Failure to pay these damages shall entitle The Weeks Group to collect interest at the highest legally allowable rate from the date of the breach, as well as all costs incurred with collection, including reasonable attorney’s fees.

Bid Cancellation: 

The Weeks Group reserves the right to remove or cancel the bids and bidding privileges of the party at any time that bids or bidding is deemed to not be in the best interest of the seller.

Earnest Money Deposit:   

Upon the close of the auction, successful high bidders will be required to submit an earnest money deposit as stipulated in the Contract for Sale.  The successful bidder will have 24 hours to send the earnest money in the form of Wire Transfer or Cashier’s Check. 

Real Estate Closing:  

With timing being of the essence, each contract will be a cash contract, not contingent or subject to financing, appraisal, or survey, as described in the Contract for Sale.  Closing will take place no more than 30 days from the end of the auction as stipulated in the Contract for Sale.  The Buyer will be responsible for all closing costs and the transaction will be conducted by the closing attorney specified in the Contract for Sale.

The Weeks Group is acting as agent for the seller and at no time is The Weeks Group responsible for, acting on behalf of, or acting as agent for the buyer.  Full agency disclosure will be acknowledged by both seller and buyer on the Agency Disclosure form attached as Exhibit “C” on the Contract for sale.
