It is as follows: - The seller or the agency that sells the property sets a sale price. In principle this will be the maximum sale price. - The buyer may propose to buy at the fixed price. In this case, usually the deal is done. - The buyer can negotiate the price if he wants. The seller can accept the new offer, reject it, or make a counter offer. 2.2 Step 2: Acquisition After agreement on the price, the transaction is completed in two steps: - Step 1: An appointment is set for the signing of the sale agreement. A deposit (between 5% and 10% of the total price) must be paid to the notary.
