Section 757. A. 1. No goods or chattels levied upon by an officer pursuant to an execution issued by a court of record shall be sold unless the party causing the execution to be issued:

2. A written notice of sale executed prior to the effective date of this act by the party causing the execution to be issued but otherwise conforming to the provisions of this section shall, for all purposes, be deemed valid.

B. 1. If a purchaser other than the party causing the execution to be issued, when required by the sheriff, fails to post cash or certified funds equal to ten percent (10%) of the amount bid for the property within twenty-four (24) hours of the sale, excluding Sundays and legal holidays, or otherwise fails to complete the sale, the sheriff may proceed with the sale and may accept the next highest bid.

2. When goods and chattels levied upon cannot be sold for want of bidders, the officer making such return shall affix a true and correct inventory of such goods and chattels to the execution, and the party causing such execution to be issued may thereupon sue out another writ of execution, directing the sale of the property levied upon as provided for in this section.

Section 765. A. Upon the return of any writ of execution for the satisfaction of which any lands or tenements have been sold, the party causing the execution to be issued shall:

1. Cause a written notice of hearing on the confirmation of the sale to be mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all persons to whom mailing of the notice of the execution sale was required to be made pursuant to Section 764 of this title and to the high bidder at such sale, at least ten (10) days before the hearing on the confirmation of the sale, and if the name or address of any such person is unknown, shall cause a notice of the hearing on the confirmation of the sale to be published in a newspaper authorized by law to publish legal notices in the county in which the property is situated. If no newspaper authorized by law to publish legal notices is published in such county, the notice shall be published in some such newspaper of general circulation which is published in an adjoining county. The notice shall state the name of any person being so notified and shall be published once at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing on the confirmation of the sale; and

2. Files in the case an affidavit of proof of mailing, and if required, of publication.

B. Any person filing a written objection to the confirmation of the sale shall cause a copy of such written objection to be mailed, prior to the hearing on the confirmation of the sale, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to all persons to whom mailing of the notice of the hearing on the confirmation of the sale was required to be made pursuant to this section. The court may continue the hearing or make such other orders as are necessary to allow the interested persons to adequately support or oppose any such objections to the confirmation of the sale. If the court, after having carefully examined the proceedings of the officer, is satisfied that the sale has, in all respects, been made in conformity with the provisions of this article, the court shall direct the clerk to make an entry on the journal that the court is satisfied of the legality of such sale and shall order that the officer make to the purchaser a deed for such lands and tenements; and the officer, on making such sale, shall deposit the purchase money with the clerk of the court from which said writ of execution issued, where same shall remain until the court shall have examined his proceedings as aforesaid, when said clerk of the court shall pay the same to the person entitled thereto, agreeable to the order of the court. In the case of a sale by a sheriff conducted through an online auction marketplace, the online auction marketplace may collect and hold deposits and additional purchase money payments up to the full amount of the winning bid, settle the transaction, and then remit payment of the purchase money to the court clerk as directed by the sheriff or the court. Any buyer's premium charged to a buyer for online auction marketplace services rendered to the buyer shall not be considered purchase price provided that the buyer's premium is disclosed in advance in the listing.

Section 766. The sheriff or other officer who, upon such writ or writs of execution, shall sell the said lands and tenements, or any part thereof, at a physical place or by Internet or other electronic means, including an online auction marketplace, shall make to the purchaser as good and sufficient deed of conveyance of the land sold, as the person or persons against whom such writ or writs of execution were issued could have made of the same, at or any time after they became liable to the judgment. The deed shall be sufficient evidence of the legality of such sale, and the proceedings therein, until the contrary be proved, and shall vest in the purchaser as good and as perfect an estate in the premises therein mentioned, as was vested in the party at, or after, the time when such lands and tenements became liable to the satisfaction of the judgment; and such deed of conveyance, to be made by the sheriff or other officer, shall recite the execution or executions, or the substance thereof, and the names of the parties, the amount and date of rendition of each judgment, by virtue whereof the said lands and tenements were sold as aforesaid, and shall be executed, acknowledged and recorded as is or may be provided by law, to perfect the conveyance of real estate in other cases.

Section 769. All sales of lands or tenements under execution shall be held at the court house courthouse in the county in which such the lands or tenements are situated, unless some other place within said the county is designated by the judge having jurisdiction in the case; or by public auction through the Internet or other electronic means, if notice of the date, time, and place of the intended sale is provided as required pursuant to Section 764 of this title. For a public auction held through the Internet or other electronic means, place may include the Internet website of an online auction marketplace selected by the sheriff to host and conduct the sheriff's sale of such lands or tenements. No sheriff or other officer making the sale of property, either personal or real, nor any appraiser of such property or online auction marketplace, shall either directly or indirectly, purchase the same; and every purchase so made shall be considered fraudulent and void. If the online auction marketplace is a corporation, limited liability company, limited liability partnership, or partnership, the foregoing restriction shall apply to any director, officer, employee, managing member, or partner of such appraiser or online auction marketplace.
