It is understood that the Auctioneer is representing and acting as the agent for the Seller, but will deal honestly, fairly, and in good faith with any potential bidder/buyer. BARGAIN AND SALE DEED DESCRIPTION One form of deed that has some vogue from time to time is the Bargain and Sale deed. Seldom will a purchaser of land rely solely upon the warranty of the seller even though he is given a full covenant and warranty deed. Instead he tries to satisfy himself that the title is merchantable. In the process of searching and examining title, specific defects may be discovered which may not invalidate the title but which nevertheless raise questions about it. The grantee may demand special covenants against the consequences of one or more of these defects. On the other hand, a peculiar type of grantor may insist that the grantee satisfy himself as to the character of the title without receiving a guaranty against unforeseen defects. The grantor will merely turn over the title with perhaps special warranty on specific questions but without a full warranty. In either event, such a deed is called a "Bargain and Sale Deed'. The words used to express the commitments by the grantor are "sell, grant, convey and release." Take from "Real Estate Principles" by Henry E. Hoagland
