Your Journey to a Successful Sale

Selling your property is a major decision that deserves a structured, professional approach. At Groupe Unity, we've refined our process into 10 strategic steps designed to maximize your sale price, minimize stress, and ensure a smooth transaction from start to finish.

Our 360° integrated approach means we consider not just the sale itself, but your complete financial picture—including your next purchase and financing optimization.

Step 1: Discovery Meeting & Strategy Presentation

Our journey together begins with an in-depth consultation where we discuss your goals, timeline, and unique situation. This is where we build the foundation for a successful sale.

🎯 What we cover:

  • Your objectives: Understanding your reasons for selling and what success looks like to you
  • Property evaluation: Comprehensive market analysis to determine optimal pricing strategy
  • Market conditions: Current trends, buyer demand, and competitive landscape
  • Timeline planning: Coordinating your sale with your next move
  • 360° approach: Discussing your financing needs for your next property

This personalized strategy session ensures every decision is data-driven and aligned with your financial goals.

Step 2: Brokerage Contract Signing (CCVE)

Once we've established our strategy, we formalize our partnership with the signing of the Brokerage Contract for the Sale of an Immovable (CCVE).

📝 What this includes:
