Buyer will also be required to make an appointment with the closing agent to pay the balance of the purchase price and receive the deed to the property. Closing is to take place on or before 45 days from date of auction (unless prior arrangements have been made with and agreed to in writing by Nicholls Auction). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that time is of the essence. Buyer will pay for all of their closing costs associated with the transaction (please see the General Terms).
