Selling Your Property

Fabrica property tokens can be sold directly on the Fabrica marketplace or on any NFT marketplace that supports ERC-1155 tokens. This flexibility allows property owners to reach both real estate buyers and the broader NFT market.

Selling on Fabrica

The Fabrica marketplace at fabrica.land is designed specifically for property transactions and offers the best experience for buying and selling real estate tokens.

Listing Your Property

1. Sign In: Log in to your Fabrica account (by email or with a wallet)
2. Select Your Property: Navigate to your property and click "List for Sale"
3. Set Your Price: Enter your asking price in USD
4. Sign the Listing: Approve the listing with your signature
5. Go Live: Your property appears in the marketplace for buyers to discover

Your property remains in your account while listed. The listing is a signed order that authorizes the transfer only when a buyer pays your asking price.

Photos and videos. Buyers see your media first, so prepare it from the property page before or after listing. You can add images and videos, caption each one, and review the change summary before saving; a file that cannot be accepted (an unsupported format such as SVG, or a file over 100 MB) is named with the reason while the others still go through, and the save reports each step as it completes. You can also drag photos into order and choose the cover buyers see first, both while the property is still being added and after the token is issued. A video plays in the property's media viewer, and a "Show all" control opens the full gallery.

Listing While Your Property Is Being Added

You do not need to wait for the add-a-property process to finish before listing. A property that is still being added can be listed for sale as soon as its page is live, and the remaining steps (document signing, recording, token issuance) continue in the background or complete at closing.

Until the paperwork is signed and the token is issued, the listing is visible and buyers can make offers, but it cannot be purchased instantly; a committed sale completes the remaining paperwork at closing. Completing the paperwork ahead of a sale enables instant purchases. Once the token is issued, a listing created earlier can be confirmed with a single signature to make it instantly purchasable.

Listing Distribution

When you list a property on Fabrica, your listing can be federated to other marketplaces and MLSs (Multiple Listing Services) to expand its reach. This allows you to expose your property to a larger audience of potential buyers beyond the Fabrica marketplace.

Your contact details stay out of the listing data. Each distributed listing carries a dedicated Fabrica contact address in its contact fields instead of your email address. When a buyer sends an inquiry through an outside site, Fabrica verifies that the message genuinely comes from that listing service and forwards it to the email on your account, with the buyer's own address set as the reply address, so answering an inquiry is as simple as replying to the email. The buyer also receives a reply pointing them to your property page on Fabrica, where they can buy or make an offer directly. One note: the listing description you write is distributed exactly as you wrote it, so avoid putting personal contact details there.

Receiving Offers

Buyers can submit bids on your property, even if it's not listed for sale:

• Review Offers: See all pending offers on your property dashboard; property cards show how many active offers a property has
• Evaluate Terms: Each offer shows the amount and expiration, and accepting one shows the marketplace fee and what you receive (marked as estimates until the fee is final)
• Accept: Accept an offer to complete the sale; the dialog finishes as soon as the sale transaction is mined. A property that is still being set up can accept offers once setup is complete
• Counter or Decline: Ignore offers that don't meet your expectations

This bid system allows buyers to express interest and negotiate, giving you flexibility to sell at the right price.

How Transactions Work

Fabrica uses Seaport, the same protocol powering OpenSea, for secure and efficient transactions:

• Offchain Orderbook: Listings and offers are stored on Fabrica's servers
• Onchain Settlement: The actual transfer executes onchain when a sale completes
• No Custody: Your token stays in your account until the moment of sale
• Atomic Swaps: Payment and property transfer happen in a single transaction

Receiving Payment

When your property sells on Fabrica:

• Stablecoin Settlement: Crypto-funded sales settle atomically, and proceeds arrive in your account as stablecoins right away
• Bank-Funded Sales: Sales paid from a buyer's bank account or card complete when the buyer's payment clears. Until then the token stays yours and the property shows "Sale pending"; current timelines are in the help center under what happens when your property sells
• Cash Out: From your profile, choose an amount, a destination (a bank account or debit card in your name) and a speed; each speed shows its fee, the amount you receive and the expected date, and speeds that cannot take the amount are hidden. You approve a one-time permission for the payment provider (Coinflow) to use that amount from your account, and you are emailed when the money arrives. Before a first cash out you verify your identity once (the same verification used for bank payments) and add a payout bank; a newly added destination is confirmed by email and its first cash out runs at standard speed. The smallest cash out is $5. Cash out is turned on per network by Fabrica; current limits are in the help center

Selling on NFT Marketplaces

As standard ERC-1155 tokens, Fabrica properties can be listed on any compatible NFT marketplace, including:

• OpenSea: The largest NFT marketplace with broad buyer reach
• Other Marketplaces: Any platform supporting ERC-1155 tokens

Considerations for External Marketplaces

While selling on external marketplaces is fully supported, keep in mind:

External marketplaces work well for reaching a broader audience, but buyers may have less context about the property and the Fabrica system.

After the Sale

When your property sells:

1. Automatic Transfer: The property token transfers to the buyer's account
2. Ownership Update: The buyer becomes the new beneficial owner of the trust
3. County Notification: Where required by the local jurisdiction, Fabrica assists with county notifications
4. Validation Continues: The property's Property checks keep running for the new owner

The new owner receives all rights and obligations associated with the property. See Property Obligations for details on what ownership entails.
