Contract Special Stipulations:

1.      This sale will be closed by Campbell Kirbo of Kirbo & Kirbo, PC at 2405 Westgate Drive, Albany, GA 31707, (229) 883-5134. The closing attorney will charge the purchaser a closing fee of $850.00 per cash transaction and $1,350.00 per load transaction. This fee includes conducting the closing, collecting and disbursing the funds and preparing a closing statement.  If the purchaser wants a title opinion or other services, the closing attorney will provide them for an additional fee.  The seller will pay for the preparation of the Deed only.  The purchaser will pay all other closing costs associated with this sale including but not limited to recording, transfer tax, financing expenses, intangible taxes, title fees, title insurance, appraisals and inspection reports. The purchaser will be responsible for any bank wire fees associated with the closing incurred by the receiving or sending of purchaser’s earnest money deposits.

2.      Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Closing cannot occur when scheduled due to a COVID-19 related event (“CRE”) resulting in the closing attorney, the mortgage lender and/or the Buyer and/or Seller being unable to perform their respective obligations, then the Closing shall be postponed until 7 days after the specific event delaying the Closing has been resolved. If the Buyer or Seller is unable to perform due to a CRE, the affected party shall promptly notify the other party both of the CRE and of its resolution. Buyer or Seller having concerns about attending the Closing or self-quarantining (in the absence of a quarantine or government ordered lockdown that specifically applies to Buyer and/or Seller) shall not excuse Buyer or Seller from attending the Closing either in-person, virtually or through a power of attorney. Buyer or Seller presently having COVID-19 shall excuse Buyer and/or Seller from attending the Closing until the party is no longer at risk of infecting others. However, in all situations where Buyer and/or Seller cannot attend the Closing, Buyer and or Seller shall use their best efforts to fulfill their contractual obligations through a power of attorney. Buyer or Seller experiencing a job loss, reduction in salary or other financial hardship shall not be deemed a CRE. If the CRE causing a permitted delay results in the Closing being delayed by more than 90 days from the original Closing date, then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement without penalty upon notice to the other party.

The Survey shall be subject to Seller’s approval.  The surveyor will charge $0.36 cents per linear foot on all exterior lines and $0.18 cents per linear foot on all common lines between auction purchasers.  The final sale price shall be determined by multiplying $_________________/acre (contract price per acre) by the number of surveyed acres rounded to the nearest one-thousandth of an acre.  Division stakes are intended for approximation use only.  Actual boundary lines are to be determined by field survey and may vary from field markers.  It is understood that the acreage and dimensions of the tracts may vary according to the actual survey.  All survey expenses will be paid by the Purchaser.  For this fee, the surveyor will mark all property corners and provide the Purchaser with a recordable plat. This fee does not include the actual openings of the lines. The surveyor will open lines for an additional fee.  As used herein, the term "surveyed acreage" means the total gross acreage of the property without any deduction for any portion thereof located within the bounds of any roadways (except deeded roads) easements or other rights of way, including, without limitation, electric transmission lines or other utility easements. If the purchaser wants survey services in addition to the above described services, the surveyor will provide them for an additional fee.  In the event either party defaults under the terms of this Contract, the defaulting party will be responsible for the surveying expense.
