Method of Sale
The method of sale can be Auction, private treaty, tender or expressions of interest. Two best approaches are private treaty or auction. Both approaches have their advantage and disadvantage. In an auction, there is no cooling-off period and contracts are exchanged on the same day. In a private treaty, the home owner sets the price and the real estate agency sells the house on behalf of the home owner.
