We propose the main keys to selling, buying, or renting a property so that you could choose the form that best suits your needs.

Selling, buying, or renting a home is always a complicated, delicate, and important process. We want to do it with the greatest guarantees and without setbacks. To accomplish this, the first thing we have to do is to decide how we are going to deal with it: Should we take care of ourselves, or do we hire a specialized real estate agency?

First of all, it is not the same to buy a brand-new house as to acquire a second-hand property. In the first case, the promoter must provide us with all the information about the promotion to be built; instead, in the case of second-hand property, we must ensure the legal situation of the house, its surroundings, its material state, etc. For example, we may find that there is a mortgage charge, foreclosures on the estate, or even unresolved inheritance issues. In these cases, it is highly recommended to have a professional in the field that could solve these issues most appropriately.

Secondly, we must know what the best way is to make a contract. Contracts that are signed between individuals are subject to civil law, while if we choose to do the process through a real estate agency, the consumer regulation applies to the buyer and the real estate agency, in addition to the general rules of civil law.

Likewise, it is necessary to be aware that an important time must be allocated to adapt the property and leave it in proper conditions for rental or sale. Once ready, you have to see the best way to take attractive photographs and then upload them to important web portals to promote them. After that, several requests will arrive and you will have to respond promptly, and also arrange visits for which a suitable time will have to be separated. However, all this time and effort can be reduced if you choose to hire a real estate agency, whose mission would be to take care of this process.

How to choose a suitable real estate? We must inform ourselves well and assess the agencies that act from an ethical point of view and are even governed by a real estate code of ethics. This is an added value that can make us tip the balance, as well as the fact that real estate is cooperating with other entities and thus offers the possibility of reaching a wider audience.

Benefits of working with a Real Estate

 

If we choose to assign this process to a professional real estate agency, we have to guarantee some key points for sale or rental in the real estate business.

We will get the right price. If we opt for a very high price we may never sell, while if we determine a price that is too low we will probably make a bad deal. A professional agent will inform you about the real market price, as it has a variety of data sources that will help you determine the most appropriate price.

You will make the most of your property. An agency will adapt your house to the market needs. Sometimes, a small investment can increase the price of housing considerably.

Your home will be advertised everywhere. The agency will be in charge of promoting your property in different channels: national and international real estate portals, the web, social networks, emails, etc.

You will save time and stress. Hiring a professional real estate allows us to continue doing our life in a perfectly normal way, while real estate takes care of everything. In addition, it assures us more probabilities of success since it has an extensive database of potential buyers and space in the most visited portals in the housing search. The real estate will make a previous selection of these and will accompany you on the visits.

They will process the purchase and the loan. A poorly written contract is one of the main reasons for not selling property between individuals. Real estate agents, once the negotiations have been made, will write a contract without errors due to the advisory of their legal department.

As you can see, the possibilities are many and all have their strong and weak points. In a process as decisive as the sale, purchase, or rental of a home, the important thing is to choose the option that gives you greater peace of mind and that suits your needs and desires. However, we have to be aware that it is a task that can take a long time and can be more complex than it seems, as it can be out of our knowledge. An ethical real estate agency can tip the balance from a fair, honest, and transparent point of view, and can accompany us throughout the process to successfully
