The first step involves either physically visiting the property or expressing interest from a distance through virtual tours and online listings. This allows potential buyers to get a sense of the property’s location, layout, and overall appeal.

Once the bid is accepted, the deal is finalized. At this point, the agreement cannot be canceled by either parties. This step is also managed online, streamlining the process and ensuring clarity and commitment from both sides.
