The steps in a row.

Roughly, a sale proceeds like this:

Listing of your home with photos, description and price.
Viewings and questions from interested buyers.
A bid, negotiation and acceptance.
Signing the sale agreement (compromis).
The authentic deed at the notary, with the transfer of ownership.
