If you are the highest bidder at the end of an auction, here are your post-auction obligations:

You can preview the required information on this form as a printable checklist. Make sure to submit the form within 1 business day.
- Purchase Agreement: Once everything is verified, the Purchase Agreement will be generated and you will need to sign and return the document for the seller to review and sign.
- Proof of Funds: You need to provide Auction.com a copy of your Proof of Funds by email within 2 business days.

Per state law, there is a period when certain parties have the opportunity to "redeem" a foreclosed property.
You can't collect rent or obtain possession until the redemption period is over.
If the property is redeemed, you will receive only the amount paid to redeem the property. Please research the amount before bidding as it may be less than the winning bid.
