In the event a winning bidder seeks to rescind the agreement prior to closing, a withdrawal fee may apply. All properties are offered subject to a confidential reserve price to maintain fairness and competitiveness. Title and Closing: Properties are conveyed via Warranty Deed, subject to all recorded encumbrances.
