I actually ended up finding "preparation" as a translation for "réalisation". I want to avoid using the term "sale" since I have already used in my translated text earlier in the passage. What do you think ?

preparation, i.e. the process of making sth ready for use/service ... but this is not the meaning of "rélisation"; see def. of LRP; here: they wanted to get rid of the paintings because they feared the fall in value on the market!

here "réalisation" is just an anaphoric term in this sentence: it's referring to "vendre" !

You could also translate it as "liquidate", but it's not really necessary.

No. Réalisation means selling here, not preparing.
