TERMS AND CONDITIONS
FOR BIDDERS
ONLINE AUCTION
REGISTRATION FOR AUCTION:
Registration is the way to confirm your attendance after having previously registered to participate in the online auction. Registration is permanently available for all properties to be auctioned online at www.reposubasta.com.
BID REQUIREMENTS:
Bidders/ Tenderers must register on the platform www.reposubasta.com prior to the bidding, read and approve the Terms & Conditions and submit valid photo ID as well as evidence of funds or pre-qualification letter to [email protected]. Once the bidder is registered with a deposit of $1,500.00 per property, the tenderer may begin to bid. If the property is not awarded, the initial deposit will be refunded on or before five (5) days. The tenderer may not bid for the same property more than once at the same event. Online participation requires a non-refundable payment of $75.00.
RECOGNITION AND INSPECTION OF PROPERTIES TO BE AUCTIONED:
It is the bidder's duty and responsibility to inspect the properties prior to auction. Every bidder will have the opportunity to inspect the properties by coordinating an appointment by calling at (787) 418-3100. The inspection will be by going through the property at the bidder's own risk. The bidder once registered accepts that the properties to be subject of the "online" auction are of the bidder’s complete knowledge and condition, and therefore waives any claim to the seller and their representatives (REALITY REALTY). The tenderer declares that the tendered property is the same property inspected by him or his authorized agent prior to the bid. In case of land, the buyer is responsible for verifying the conditions of the land (soil study and survey). Investors must inspect ALL properties prior to auction as options subject to inspection will NOT be accepted. Once the option is made you agree that you have inspected the property and that you are optioning it at your own risk, therefore, if you give up the purchase no option deposit money will be refunded. The seller and his representatives (REALITY REALTY) will not be responsible for the omission by the tenderer / bidder or his authorized agent for the identification of the property and its conditions, or any errors of identity or other legality; this will not relieve the legal responsibilities incurred once the auction has been awarded and the option to purchase agreement subscribed by the parties.
DEPOSIT:
The bidding deposit will be $1,500.00 for all types of property, whether residential, commercial or land.
The deposit will only be accepted through PayPal with your credit card or bank account. The awarded and sale of the properties to be auctioned is not subject to financing to complete the sale.
The bidder will have 48 hours to deposit the equivalent to 5%, if applicable, on any residential, commercial or land property and sign the Option to Purchase Agreement.

BIDDING PREMIUM:
The buyer / tenderer who wins and is awarded one or more properties will pay REALITY REALTY the equivalent of the premium of one to five percent (1% - 5%) by selected properties.

Both the deposit of the transaction and the buyer's premium will be deposited in separate “Escrow” special accounts in favor of REALITY REALTY until the transaction process is completed and closed by transferring title of the property to the buyer. If the "tender premium" is not paid during the first forty and eight (48) hours after the signing of the option to purchase agreement, the contract will not take effect and the check delivered as premium at the time will be for the benefit of REALITY REALTY and will not be subject to return under any circumstances.
