property directed by a judgment or order to be sold is not situated in

the county in which the judgment or order is entered, the judgment or

order shall also be entered by the clerk of the county in which the

property is situated upon filing with him a certified copy of the

judgment or order. A purchaser of the property is not required to pay

the purchase money or accept a deed until the judgment or order is so

entered.

(b) Place and mode of sale; security. Where a judgment or order

directs that real property shall be sold, it shall be sold in such

manner as the judgment or order may direct in the county where it is

situated by the sheriff of that county or by a referee appointed by the

court for the purpose. If the property is situated in more than one

county, it may be sold in a county in which any part is situated unless

the judgment or order directs otherwise. If a referee is appointed to

sell the property, the court may require him to give an undertaking in

an amount fixed by it for the proper application of the proceeds of the

sale. The conveyance shall specify in the granting clause the party

whose right, title or interest is directed to be sold by the judgment or

order and is being conveyed.
