Barker, RLS#2838 of  Barker and Associates Land Surveyors, Inc., Post Office Box 777 located at 147 East Church Street, Suite 1, Sandersville, GA 31082, (478) 552-2941, 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 $0.60 cents per linear foot on all lines.  All common lines between auction purchases are counted only once in the computation.  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.

 

3.     This property is subject to that Department of Transportation Driveway Easement recorded on November 6, 2008 in Deed Book 16-E, Pages 719-721, Washington County, Georgia Records, as further supplemented and/or amended of record.

5.     Auctioneer and Sellers do not warrant or covenant with Buyer with respect to the existence or nonexistence of any pollutants, contaminants or hazardous waste prohibited by federal, state or local law or claims based thereon arising out of the actual or threatened discharge, release, disposal, seepage, migration or escape of such substances at, from or into the demised premises.  Buyer is to rely upon it’s own environmental audit or examination of the premises.

 

6.     Purchaser shall have 30 days from sale date to make tests on the property to determine whether there is environmental contamination.  If contamination is found, purchaser shall notify seller in writing within 7 days, and seller shall have the option to either clean up the contamination or cancel the sales agreement and refund purchaser’s deposit.  If Seller exercises its option to clean up the contamination, the time for closing shall be extended by the amount of time required for the cleanup.  In the event Seller refuses to clean up the property, purchaser shall have the option to close without any claim against seller or purchaser may elect to cancel the contract, in which event the deposit shall be refunded.  If Seller terminates this contract pursuant to this paragraph, it shall have no liability to broker.  Purchaser shall promptly restore the surface of the property to the condition existing before its investigation and shall indemnify and hold seller harmless from all damages caused by its activities.  The terms hereof shall survive the closing.

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 on or before Wednesday, May 14, 2025 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. 

Agency Disclosure: 

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.
