Jackson Hole Auction Company is pleased to welcome you to our website dedicated to making it simple and easy to buy or sell any type of real estate at auction.

Our website is designed to be easy to use with menu tabs on both sides of most pages to help navigate for your particular needs. The auction calendar is what buyers are looking for and each auction is chock full of information about each particular property. When viewing an auction page, be sure to look in the upper right of each auction page for photo galleries, documents, online bidding links and our DIGIBIP or Digital Bidder Information Package.

The DIGIBIP concept is something we are very proud of creating back in 2003 as a tool to allow prospective buyers the opportunity to review a comprehensive information package with photos, property details, inspection reports, surveys, registration forms, purchase contracts, restrictions, community information -- basically as much information on a property that time and budget allows us to provide.

Real estate sold at auction is almost always sold as-is where is with all faults and no warrantee other than a clear title by deed. In this modern age consumers demand to know what as-is really means. Our goal is to provide basic information to help you make an informed decision.

It’s easy to buy real estate at auction:

• Download the DIGIBIP to begin your own investigation of each property
• Preview the property online to determine if you want to visit in person
• Prepare your bid strategy by checking comparable properties both listed & sold.
• If you need financing get it in advance of the auction; contact us for assistance.
• Register ahead of time if you plan to bid online, on TV or on your cell phone.
• Obtain the bid deposit in the form of a cashier or bank guaranteed check or wire.
• Contact the auction staff by phone or e-mail with any questions
• Come to the auction location or be online at least ½ hour before the advertised starting time to make sure you are registered and have a good seat.
• The properties will be displayed on screen(s) and color hard copies of DIGIBIPS will be available in the auction room for any further review.
• Check the order of sale; get ready when the property you want comes up.
• The auctioneer speaks with a clear voice telling the current bid price and next amount being asked; online bidders will see and hear the screen & auctioneer.
• Bid up to the price you are willing to pay.
• The bid assistant will have you sign the Memorandum of Bid & Deposit Receipt which is the auction purchase contract, disclosures and escrow instructions.
• Closing is done through a licensed, bonded & insured escrow or title company and is basically the same as any other real estate transaction.
• You do not have to attend the closing in person almost everything can be done electronically or via courier, unless you want to go to the settlement office.
• Closing is usually done in 30-days or less, often with land and lender owned vacant homes title can be transferred within 1 or 2 business days.
• It’s really that simple.
