What is a Choice Auction?
A choice auction is a type of land auction of several tracts where all tracts of land are sold per-acre, and bidders don’t bid on specific tracts. Instead, the winner gets to choose which tracts they want to purchase after a round of bidding is done.

How Do Choice Auctions Work?
Here’s how choice auctions differ from standard land auctions:
Auction Types
Standard land auctions can be held online, in person, or through ACE Live Auction. Here’s how each type works:
Pre-Auction Registration
To participate in a standard land auction, you must create an account and register to bid. This should be done well in advance of any live auction events. The auction company’s staff (LandProz and AuctionCast) has the authority to approve bidders and may request additional information to validate that you are able to complete your purchase if you win.
Multiple Rounds
You can bid on and win any number of rounds in a choice land auction. However, you must create separate bids for each round you are interested in purchasing.
After the Auction: Execution of the Purchase Agreement
Once you have won one or more tracts, you will be required to execute a Purchase Agreement outlining the terms of the auction. This document outlines your responsibilities as a buyer and the terms of the sale.
