Understanding the Market Before Taking Action

Selling Your Property, Step by Step

Whether it's your first sale or not, this guide simply presents the main steps to know in order to sell your property with complete confidence.

I Am Getting Ready

Good preparation is the first step to a successful sale. Before putting your property on the market, you need to: define your objectives, set the price, prepare the property, and gather the necessary documents.

I Am Listing My Property

Your property is now ready to be presented to buyers. From marketing to visits, several steps lead to receiving offers: marketing, photos and advertising, visits, and receiving offers. The buyer may present you with a promise to purchase specifying the conditions of their offer. You can accept it, refuse it, or make a counter-offer.

I Am Finalizing

Once the promise to purchase is accepted, certain steps must still be followed before finalizing the transaction: conditions to be met, preparation at the notary's office, signing of the deed of sale. Once all conditions are fulfilled, the transaction is finalized at the notary's office. The notary ensures that everything is in order and prepare the necessary documents for the transfer of ownership.
