1. If the court orders a sale of heirs
property, the sale must be an open-market sale unless the court finds that a
sale by sealed bids or an auction would be more economically advantageous and
in the best interest of the cotenants as a group.
2. If the court orders an open-market sale
and the parties, not later than 10 days after the entry of the order, agree on
a real estate broker licensed in this State to offer the property for sale, the
court shall appoint that broker and establish a reasonable commission. If the
parties do not agree on a broker, the court shall appoint a disinterested real
estate broker licensed in this State to offer the property for sale and shall
establish a reasonable commission. The broker shall offer the property for sale
in a commercially reasonable manner at a price not lower than the determination
of value and on the terms and conditions established by the court.
3. If the broker appointed under
subsection 2 obtains within a reasonable time an offer to purchase the property
for at least the determination of value:

requirements set forth in NRS 39.695 ;
and
(b) The sale may be completed in accordance with
state law other than NRS 39.600 to 39.705 , inclusive.
4. If the broker appointed under
subsection 2 does not obtain within a reasonable time an offer to purchase the
property for at least the determination of value, the court, after hearing,
may:
(a) Approve the highest outstanding offer, if
any;
(b) Redetermine the value of the property and
order that the property continue to be offered for an additional time; or
(c) Order that the property be sold by sealed
bids or at an auction.
5. If the court orders a sale by sealed
bids or an auction, the court shall set terms and conditions of the sale. If
the court orders an auction, the auction must be conducted under the provisions
of NRS 39.010 to 39.490 , inclusive.
6. If a purchaser is entitled to a share
of the proceeds of the sale, the purchaser is entitled to a credit against the
price in an amount equal to the purchasers share of the proceeds.
