Private sale

Because sometimes you’re in a hurry and can’t wait for the auction, when you want to sell, Asium does everything in its power to offer you the solution best suited to your needs. For example, we can offer you a private sale.

What is a private sale?

Private treaty sales are carried out between private individuals, with the auction house acting as intermediary, offering your item to targeted customers.

These sales are most often for exceptional properties, requiring the utmost discretion. In these cases, the firm acts as an advisor, thanks to its contacts and its position as a specialist in the field.

What are the advantages of selling by mutual agreement?

The private sale allows you to benefit from total discretion, as the sale is not public. Asium acts as an advisor, introducing you directly to buyers who may be interested in your property. This type of sale is often faster than an auction.
