A: Potential buyers are required to purchase a PSP in order to place a bid. The information contained in the PSP should be read in full and then used as the basis for your bid price.

A: A bid deposit is a "good faith" (earnest money) deposit, made in the form of a cashier's or certified check that a buyer is required to submit with a bid. It is generally equivalent to 2.5% of the bid amount, unless otherwise specified. For example, if one were to place a bid of $100,000.00 the bid deposit would be equal to $2,500.00. Bids that are submitted without a bid deposit are deemed nonconforming and will not be considered.

NRC holds the Back-up bidder's bid deposit until it is certain the accepted bidder will or will not close. If the accepted bidder defaults, the back-up bidder is notified of his/her acceptance, the back-up bidder's escrow money is deposited into a non-interest bearing account and the closing process begins.

A: YES! There are multiple ways you can bid.

• REGULAR SINGLE BID: This is when a potential buyer submits a bid for one store only. He/she encloses a signed Purchase and Sale Agreement and a 2.5% Bid Deposit based on the purchase price of the store they are bidding on.

• MULTIPLE BID: This type of bid is intended for bidders who want to purchase MORE THAN one store. In this instance you will send signed Purchase and Sale Agreements for EACH properties, as well as an individual 2.5% bid deposit for EACH bid.

• PREFERENCE BID: This type of bid is intended for bidders who want to purchase ONE store only, but have an interest in several stores. In this case, you would send signed Purchase and Sale Agreements for each property. PLEASE INCLUDE A LETTER WITH YOUR BIDS, WHICH STATES WHICH STORE IS YOUR FIRST CHOICE, WHICH STORE IS YOUR SECOND CHOICE, ETC. (YOUR PREFERENCE) Please calculate your bid deposit as follows: 2.5% times the highest single purchase price being submitted. Note: You may only rank stores in order of preference SINGLY. You cannot do group preference bids.

Example: You want to purchase one of three stores. Your bid on site #1 is $100,000, your bid on Site #2 is $200,000 and your bid on Site #3 is $300,000. Therefore, your Bid Deposit would be 2.5% of $300,000 and would equal $7,500.

• ALL OR NOTHING BID: This bid is for bidders who would like to purchase a group of stores. The process for placing an all or nothing bid would be to fill out all purchase and sale agreements for the stores contained in the bid and then send in a bid deposit in the amount of 2.5% of the TOTAL BID PRICE. You must put individual prices for the stores on each of the purchase and sale agreements to create a grand total.
