Frequently Asked

Questions, answered.

What is the opening bid?

The opening bid is $165,000. The most recent list price for comparable marketing was $1,200,000. The trustee's published notice governs the actual bidding terms on sale day.

What is a trustee sale, and what am I buying?

A trustee sale is a non-judicial foreclosure proceeding in which the trustee — here, MTC Financial Inc., d/b/a Trustee Corps — sells the property on behalf of a lender to recover an outstanding debt. The winning bidder receives a Trustee's Deed, subject to any senior liens that survive the sale. Bidders should review title and lien position with a qualified Alaska real estate attorney before bidding.

What is the foreclosure debt, and who is the senior lender?

The foreclosure debt is approximately $625,000. The senior lender is First National Bank Alaska. This sale is being marketed on behalf of the junior lien holder.

Can I finance the purchase, or is this cash only?

Trustee sales in Alaska typically require certified funds or a cashier's check at the time of sale. Confirm the exact payment terms and deadlines directly with the trustee before sale day.

What is included in the sale?

The 1.96-acre parcel on Long Island, the main cabin, four guest cabins, docks, decking, outbuildings (storage shed, greenhouse), and all permanent improvements. Personal property and unattached items are not warranted to convey; bidders should verify what remains on site prior to sale.

How do I inspect an island property?

Long Island is accessed by boat or floatplane. The mainland boat launch sits directly across the lake from the property. Contact us to coordinate access for a site visit prior to the sale.

Is the property accessible year-round?

Big Lake is a popular year-round recreation area. Summer access is by boat and floatplane; winter access is over the frozen lake by snowmachine. Conditions vary and bidders should verify current access independently.

What happens if I am the winning bidder?

The trustee will issue a Trustee's Deed per the terms in the published Notice of Sale. Settlement timing, recording, and possession are governed by Alaska's non-judicial foreclosure statutes and the trustee's specific terms. Consult a qualified Alaska real estate attorney before bidding.
