MULTIPAR AUCTION METHOD 
The Multipar Auction Method is used to sell multiple parcels (tracts) of real estate at auction. Throughout the auction, the buyer maintains maximum choice and control, bidding on the specific parcel or combinations of parcels they are interested in. Buyers can bid on individual parcels, a combination of parcels, or the entire property. The final sales price is determined by the combination that realizes the highest bid. 

COMBINATION BIDDING
Combination bidding begins Sunday, November 2 @ 6PM. 

NO MAX BID
There is no maximum bid feature in a multipar auction. Any posted bid will increase to the bid amount entered.

EXTENDED BIDDING
If a bid is placed on any parcel—whether as the winning bid or a backup bid, individual or combined bid—in the last 10 minutes, the entire auction will remain open for an additional 10 minutes. If any further bidding occurs, the extension timer will reset to 10 minutes. If no further bidding occurs, the lots will close when the timer expires.
