Yes, otherwise the siblings who do agree will only be able to sell their interest, which will be practically difficult. Your other option is to look at a partition by sale action.

I agree with Mr Roach. While any co owner can force a sale through partition, that is time consuming and expensive. Partition actions can be used as a threat to those reluctant to sell because of that cost. It is far better to have an agreement to move forward.
