Selling your property in twenty-four hours or in forty-eight hours after a single visit is the dream of any owner wishing to sell a property. It is possible today. To date, four platforms have specialized in so-called “instant” real estate sales: Dili, Homeloop, Sell-your-house and Zefir. For all of them, this express transaction takes place in four stages.
First, the owner responds online to a detailed questionnaire concerning the property to be sold. Then, within twenty-four to forty-eight hours, he receives an indicative purchase offer online. If this first estimate is suitable, a physical meeting is fixed one or two days later with a real estate expert sent by the site. The latter is responsible for visiting the dwelling and assessing the general condition of the building and the common areas. This passage allows if necessary to refine the estimated price.
The next day, a firm and definitive proposal arrives by e-mail. If the latter is not suitable, the process stops there and it will have cost nothing. On the other hand, if this price does the trick, the offer is to be validated electronically knowing that it is only valid for a few days. In the process, an appointment is organized to sign the compromise or the promise of sale. “By putting these steps end to end, between the first contact and the first signature, a week passes”, summarizes Rémy Fabre, co-founder of Zefir.

This is precisely what happened to Bastien R. “The person who was to buy my house let me down six days after signing. I only had four days left to find another one, otherwise the property I wanted to buy would pass me by. Thanks to this quick solution, my project came true,” he says.
François found this solution very practical “in times of Covid-19 and confinement where [ils ont] decided to change his way of life. Before signing the authentic deed at the notary, you will have to wait for the legal deadlines required for any change of ownership, i.e. between one and two months. “The shortest time recorded was thirty-two days all inclusive”points out Olivier Colcombet, president of Digit RE, of which Dili is the subsidiary.
