LA VENTE NOTARIALE INTERACTIVE - IMMO-INTERACTIF

The Chambre interdépartementale des notaires de la cour d'appel de Dijon, like the Notaires de France, is promoting a new way of selling real estate: the vente notariale interactive (VNI), also known as Immo-Interactif. The method is a kind of Internet auction, organized and secured by notaries who are members of the notarial real estate negotiation network. The seller and his notary determine the presentation value of the property, which corresponds to the price defined jointly during the appraisal, reduced by around 10 to 15%. The aim is to make the property attractive to buyers, but the seller is never obliged to sell below the appraisal price. The seller and his notary also define the conditions and timetable for the sale, and sign an exclusive mandate for a period of 45 days. During this period, the notary carries out a traditional sale process: online advertising on the www.immobilier.notaires.fr website (Immo-Interactif section), on various real estate websites, in the press and on billboards, and showing the property to potential buyers. During the visits, interested buyers receive electronic approval to participate in the online sale when the time comes. The sale then takes place over a 24-hour period, during which potential buyers who have received approval during their visit can formulate an offer to purchase. The process is totally transparent: seller and buyers can watch the bids being made online, and they appear in real time on the online sales floor. The seller has all the information on the buyers, and chooses the offer that suits him best, but which is not necessarily the most expensive. Indeed, some sellers prefer the security of the transaction to the price. He then signs a promesse de vente with his notary. Thanks to its speed and transparency, and because it is secured by the notary, the Immo-Interactif sale is perfectly suited to local authorities, associations, sales by people under guardianship, and also in conflict situations that sometimes arise in inheritance or divorce. Immo-interactif sales guarantee that the seller will sell at the market price.
