Individual first consultation
Why use a real estate agent to sell your home? For the owner, selling a property successfully means finding the right buyer as soon as possible and achieving the right purchase price. Already at the beginning of the sales phase, the seller benefits from the expertise of an experienced real estate agent: An individual consultation is the best starting point for a profitable, speedy marketing of the property. Thanks to our company-owned Engel & Völkers Academy, the competent real estate agents at Engel & Völkers have comprehensive real estate and marketing knowledge that allow them to gain a good understanding of your wishes and expectations from the very first contact.
Competent purchase price estimate
Another reason why you should use a real estate agent is to determine a realistic purchase price. Owners often have a close bond to their property. This often makes an objective assessment of the property`s selling price much more difficult. A professional and neutral valuation of the property by a real estate agent lays the foundation for successful marketing. Because only someone with the appropriate experience, comprehensive expertise and a profound knowledge of the market can correctly assess the value of a property. Which is why you should use a real estate agent when selling. At Engel & Völkers, you are in the best of hands: With us, you will be personally advised by one of our experienced real estate experts before they determine the real purchase price of the property based on a well-founded market and target group analysis. After all, it's about nothing less than finding the right property or buyer for you – and getting the best possible deal.
Exclusive marketing
Why use a real estate agent to sell your home? Marketing the property via a qualified exclusive contract has various advantages for the owner. It gives sellers a decisive lead on the way to a successful property sale. Within the scope of the exclusive Engel & Völkers "all-round carefree package", we guarantee you a maximum investment of time and service, numerous options for the placement of your property offer as well as a performance assessment of the selected marketing measures. After receiving all property-relevant information and coordinating the sales activities, the relevant facts and figures are first recorded in writing. From this point on, you benefit from a marketing concept tailored precisely to your property – until the successful conclusion of the contract.
Why use a real estate agent: Tailored marketing concept
There are countless ways to market a property. However, they are not all suited for every property, because after all, the marketing strategy should be as unique as the property itself. This is another good reason why to use a real estate agent. To emphasise the uniqueness of a property on the market, the commissioned real estate agent develops an individual marketing strategy that runs like a continuous thread through the entire marketing process. Before listing the property publicly, Engel & Völkers offers it discreetly to prospective buyers registered with us. A good reason to use a real estate agent and thus their existing client base. Only if no suitable buyer for your property can be found among our more than one million clients worldwide seeking properties, will we plan the further marketing steps together with you. This is where owners benefit from our wide range of offline and online measures – from professionally prepared exposés and targeted print or online ads to modern property videos including 3D models that showcase your property in a unique way.
