Second step: the sales requisition
Once the estimate has been completed, if you wish to offer your property for sale, we will send you a sales requisition.

In your requisition, you have the possibility of setting a reserve price, on the advice and in agreement with the auction house. This is a price below which you do not want your property to be sold. This price cannot be higher than the low estimate given to you at the time of the appraisal.
The sale is concluded by the formula “awarded”.
In the days following the sale, we will contact you by telephone to inform you of the outcome of the sale of your property.
If it finds a buyer, we will send you payment 1 month after the sale.
If it has not found a buyer, we will offer to recover your property, or to present it again in another auction.
