AUCTION WITH RESERVE

If there is a high mortgage or a minimum the sellers wish to obtain; The Seller can reserve the right to accept or reject the final bid.

The main disadvantage of a Reserve Auction is that prospective buyersmay not invest the time and expense of due diligence when there is no certainty they will be able to buy the property even if they are the highest bidder.
