He draws up the deed of sale

At the time of sale, the notary collects the deposit paid when the compromis de vente was signed, which amounts to between 5 and 10% of the sale price, as well as the total sale price, from a dedicated account, before redistributing it to the seller via bank transfer. He also acts as a financial intermediary.
