How should I sell my house?

If you choose to sell your home through a real estate agent, here are the steps you can follow:

  1. Select a Realtor:
    Research several real estate agents in the area and choose one that is experienced, has a good reputation and is familiar with the local real estate market.
  2. Interview:
    Schedule an intake interview with the chosen real estate agent. Discuss your goals, wishes and expectations for selling your home.
  3. Determine sales strategy:
    Werk samen met de makelaar om een verkoopstrategie te ontwikkelen die past bij uw situatie en doelen. Dit omvat het bepalen van een realistische verkoopprijs, het opstellen van marketingmaterialen en het plannen van bezichtigingen.
  4. House Preparation:
    Follow the agent’s recommendations for optimizing the presentation of your home. This may include tidying up, cleaning, repairing and possibly refreshing the furnishings.
  5. Marketing:
    Have the agent take professional photos and prepare marketing materials to promote your home. The agent places your house on relevant real estate websites, in local advertisements and can organize open houses.
  6. Organizing viewings:
    The agent will schedule and coordinate showings of your home with interested buyers. Make sure your home is clean and tidy before each viewing.
  7. Conduct negotiations:
    If a buyer is interested in your home, the agent will negotiate the price and other conditions of the sale on your behalf.
  8. Drawing up a purchase contract:
    After you have reached an agreement with a buyer, the agent will draw up the purchase contract and discuss it with you before you sign it.
  9. Processing the Sale:
    The estate agent will work with you, the buyer and any other parties involved to arrange the further handling of the sale, such as a building inspection, financing checks and the transfer at the notary.
  10. Closing and Transfer:
    Conclude the sale at the notary and ensure that all legal formalities are completed correctly. The agent will coordinate the transfer of the keys to the new owner.

By working with an experienced real estate agent, you can make the process of selling your property smooth and get the best possible sales price.
