Create A BlogWhat is an “owner confirmation” auction? |

I recently attended a real estate auction whereas the auctioneer stated that the winning bid would be “subject to the owner’s confirmation.” Was this really a “reserve” auction?
There is really no difference between selling real estate at an auction with a reserve or selling real estate at an auction “subject to owner’s confirmation.” In essence, both of these auctions are “reserve auctions.”
Unless a property is advertised as an “absolute”, meaning the property is sold to the highest bidder with no limiting conditions or amount, it is a reserve auction.
In the reserve or subject to owner confirmation auction, the seller may not personally bid or use an agent to bid for him or her.
