Sell your home through an real estate agency

Are you thinking of selling your house and want to try to entrust the task to an real estate agent? Or do you think you can do it yourself without using the expertise of a professional?
In this article we will explain how to contact an agency so that it ultimately proves to be the safest and quickest choice for selling your property.
Why sell your home through an real estate agency?

The buying and selling process is not always straightforward. Using a professional means putting yourself in the hands of someone who is intimately familiar with the dynamics of the property market and who has dealt with this situation several times, which may be new to you.

Finding an agreement on price and payment is not always easy between two parties. That is why the intervention of an external person can bring about a breakthrough in a deadlocked negotiation that cannot find common ground.
Among the advantages of relying on a professional, administrative bureaucracy should not be overlooked.

In fact, the agency takes care of retrieving the documentation relating to the property in the owner's hands, checks cadastral conformity, verifies any abuses and the presence of mortgages or surface rights.

Moreover, through the agency, time is considerably reduced.

Increasingly, the agency is responsible for concluding sales negotiations quickly as it provides a correct evaluation of the price, which is then followed by the promotion of the same through advertising in dedicated channels.

What are the steps for selling a house through an estate agency?

The first thing to do is to rely on a serious agency with a good reputation in the area.
Our agency has a network of more than 400 real estate agents throughout Rome, specialised area by area. Moreover, we constantly invest in their training to ensure that they are always up-to-date on the dynamics of the real estate market. The strong territorial knowledge of our Consultants allows us to sell a property at the right price and in a reasonable time, thanks also to the work of our internal Marketing department and the advertising investments we make every day.

Once you have decided to entrust us with the sale of your home, you will be able to sign a written assignment that regulates the relationship between the Agency and the Client and is for the protection of both.

We are talking about the mediation assignment, i.e. a contract that brings two or more parties together to conclude a sale, without being bound by a relationship of collaboration, dependence or representation. In this way, the agent performs a true role of mediator, operating in total impartiality.

How much does it cost to sell a house through an estate agency?
The Italian Civil Code has regulated the matter by intervening in Article 1755 and stating that: commission is payable by both parties in the event that the real estate agency's intervention completes the sale. The agent must then be registered in the Economic and Administrative Repertoire (REA) with the ATECO code of real estate brokers, at the Chamber of Commerce of reference.

The commission is therefore a percentage of the amount agreed in the sale and this varies from 2% to 5% + VAT unless there are different agreements between the parties.

Finally, the duration of the assignment.

This period is also set conventionally and varies between 3-6 months to 1 year, unless there are different agreements.
