Bank Is Highest Bidder In Renault Auction


REUBEN KRAMER, Staff Writer
The high bid in a bankruptcy auction Tuesday for Renault Winery Resort and Golf came from the property’s mortgagee, OceanFirst Bank, which made a $3.36 million credit bid on the still-open resort, an attorney for Renault said.

A hearing for a federal judge to approve a sale is scheduled for Thursday in Camden.
 Secured lenders such as OceanFirst often bid the amount they’re owed under a loan, as opposed to bidding cash, when their collateral hits the auction block. The Toms River-based bank obtained a mortgage foreclosure judgment against Renault last summer. The property was on the verge of going to a sheriff’s sale before the 150-year-old vineyard filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in November.
