It was an opportunity for many who were there. "This is among the lowest prices we've seen," company representative Trent Ferris told CBS4 News Reporter Joan Murray. "You're bidding against other people. The price is set here at the auction."
The Quintela's had a little help navigating the unfamiliar real estate waters. Their friend and realtor Antonio Duarte was with them. He says he is not taking a commission even though the Quintela's wanted to give it to him.
"I don't want the commission. I'm adding it to the cost so the bank will make a decision in their favor. What they bid is below what the bank wants to sell it for," Duarate explained.
Admission to the auction was free but at check-in bidders are required to show a $5 thousand cashier's check or cash to verify that they are able to deposit the required earnest money if they are a winning bidder. A five percent buyer's premium is added to all winning bid amounts.
