The process of selling a flat with an estate agent: Key steps and benefits for owners.

The real estate market in Poland is dynamic and constantly growing, attracting both investors and people looking for a new place to live. For homeowners who have decided to sell their property, cooperation with the estate agency can be a beneficial solution. In this article, we will discuss the key steps in the process of selling a flat with a estate agency and outline the benefits of this approach.

Step 1: Property assessment and document analysis

The first step in selling a flat is to assess the property. Estate agents from the office will carry out a thorough market analysis, comparing similar flats in the area, in order to establish a competitive selling price. A professional valuation will allow you to avoid overpricing, which could delay the sale process, and underpricing, which would negatively affect the owner's profit. In addition, at the meeting we will analyse the documents related to the flat and prepare a list of formalities needed for the sale transaction.

Step 2: Preparing the property for presentation

We will assist the owner in preparing the flat for presentation. This is an important stage, as a properly styled and well-maintained flat can significantly increase its attractiveness to potential buyers. Agents will advise on what minor repairs or changes to the interior design can make the flat more appealing to buyers.

Step 3: Marketing and advertising

The estate agent will be responsible for the effective marketing of the flat. This means using various channels, such as property portals, social media, office websites and traditional forms of advertising to reach as many potential buyers as possible. By giving the property wide exposure, the chances of finding the right client increase significantly.

Step 4: Presentation of the flat

The real estate office will organise presentations of the flat to potential buyers. This is when the agents have the opportunity to present the assets of the property, answer the clients' questions and help them understand the advantages of the flat. A professional presentation can significantly influence the client's final decision.

Step 5: Negotiation and contract

If a potential buyer expresses interest in the purchase, estate agents will negotiate on behalf of the owner. Their experience in negotiations will enable them to achieve the best possible terms of sale. Once the terms have been agreed, a contract will be prepared to secure the rights and obligations of both parties.

Step 6: Transaction process and paperwork

We will assist both the owner and the buyer throughout the entire transaction process, including the completion of all legal and administrative formalities. This will ensure that the entire operation runs smoothly and safely. Our clients' involvement is practically limited to a visit to the notary's office. Once the final contract is signed, we will also take care of the handover protocol and the rewriting of the meters.

Benefits for owners

Working with a real estate agent in the process of selling a flat has many benefits:

  1. Professional knowledge and experience: Estate agents have knowledge of the local property market, which allows them to effectively set a competitive price and attract potential buyers.
  2. Saving time and effort: We will take care of all marketing, presentation and negotiation tasks, saving the owner time and effort.
  3. Extensive network of contacts: Our real estate office has a wide network of contacts, which significantly increases the chances of finding a suitable buyer in a short period of time.
