Just passing on my recent experience.

The sales agents find out about the lots that are coming available the day before release. The next morning the sales agents can put a "lock" on the lot for up to 3 hours. During that 3 hours, the buyer must either put down a deposit or it is released to the 2nd in line. They have 3 hours to do the same and then it goes to the 3rd.

For highly desirable lots, there are often dozens of sales agents putting down a hold for multiple clients. For one of our lots it was rumored there were over 60 buyers attempting to get it. It took us multiple attempts over several months to get one of the more scenic lots we wanted.

If one is okay with just a normal lot, there will be no trouble getting it.
