So you’ve found a property you’re interested in, now what?

1. From that property page, review all of the property details, and photos. Click on the Documents tab located under the main photo on the property page. Enter your information and click submit. A list of documents will appear. These can be reviewed from this page or downloaded.
2. Call Target Auction at 800-476-3939 to discuss any questions you may have with a knowledgeable team member.
3. Tour the property on one of the designated preview dates noted on the property page. An appointment may be required. If so, call in advance to schedule your private tour (800-476-3939).
4. Register to bid by clicking the Register to Bid/Login button to the left of the main photo on the property page. You will enter a credit card number. This step is required and is used as a vetting tool. We do NOT charge anything to your card nor do we save this information. After you click submit, a team member will call you. We will answer any questions you may have and review the terms and procedures before being approved to bid.
5. Once you are approved to bid, click the “Register to Bid/Login” button on the property page. Log in with your email address and password you entered during registration, and then place your bids. Each time you return to your computer or mobile device, you may have to log in. Please note - some properties will have a required registration amount designated that is due before being approved to bid. This will be noted on the property page under the Auction Information section. In this scenario, the successful bidder's registration amount will be applied to the down payment amount. Should you not be the purchaser, your funds will be promptly returned to you.
6. All bids are visible. A number is assigned to each bidder at registration and this number will appear instead of the bidder's name. The online bidding process is similar to bidding at a live auction, except it's completed from your computer, smartphone, or tablet.

Target Auction has an app that allows you to participate from almost anywhere at any time.

Bidders with agent representation: Target Auction welcomes agent representation! If you have a buyer agent who has completed our Broker Registration Form (which requires your signature), you will still be the one who registers to bid, places bids, and signs the purchase contract.
