Selling Your Property
List your property for sale on Fabrica or any NFT marketplace.
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
- Sign In: Log in to your Fabrica account (by email or with a wallet)
- Select Your Property: Navigate to your property and click "List for Sale"
- Set Your Price: Enter your asking price in USD
- Sign the Listing: Approve the listing with your signature
- 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.
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.
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
- Evaluate Terms: Each offer shows the amount and expiration
- Accept Instantly: Accept an offer to complete the sale immediately
- 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:
- Off-Chain 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: Proceeds are deposited to your account in stablecoins
- Cash Out Options: Withdraw to a bank account or debit card
- Instant Availability: Funds are available immediately after the sale
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:
| Factor | Fabrica Marketplace | External Marketplaces |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer Audience | Real estate focused | General NFT collectors |
| Property Context | Full property details, maps, documents | Basic NFT metadata |
| Confidence Score | Displayed prominently | May not be visible |
| Lending Integration | Buy-with-financing options | Standard purchase only |
| Listing Distribution | Federated to MLSs and other platforms | Single marketplace only |
| Support | Fabrica team assistance | Marketplace support |
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:
- Automatic Transfer: The property token transfers to the buyer's account
- Ownership Update: The buyer becomes the new beneficial owner of the trust
- County Notification: Where required by the local jurisdiction, Fabrica assists with county notifications
- Validation Continues: The property's confidence score is maintained 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.
