How to bid

If you’d like to bid, you have to register before the property’s action date. Absentee bids can be made up to 30 days before the auction.
The “interactive” portion of an auction will open at 10 a.m. on that auction date. You can bid until 7 p.m. -- that is when the bidding closes and a winner is determined.
