Our tips for finding the right estate agency for you!
A very large number of real estate agencies are present on the market in Thonon les Bains but not all are adapted to your expectations. Each of these agencies has its specificities. Some of them are mainly involved in rental management or co-ownership management, others in the promotion of new developments and finally there are agencies like DECORDIER immobilier which are specialised in real estate transactions, buying and selling houses, flats or land.
So you are wondering how to find THE right estate agency!
Here are some advices to find the real estate agency in Thonon les Bains which will correspond to your needs.
1- The locality : An estate agency located in Thonon.
It is preferable to choose an agency located in the commune where you wish to sell or buy. The agent in charge of your request will have a perfect knowledge of the area. He or she will be able to inform you about future construction projects as well as about the surrounding infrastructure, such as schools, shops and means of transport. Moreover, by estimating your property, he will be able to define the right selling price by taking into account the specificities of the market or to propose you housing which really correspond to your research criteria.
2- Choosing the mandate :
Choosing to entrust the sale of your property to a real estate agency necessarily implies the signing of a mandate. There are several types of mandate: The simple mandate, which allows you to entrust the sale of your property to several real estate agencies and also to sell by your own means. With a semi-exclusive mandate, you entrust the sale to a single agency but retain the possibility of selling by yourself and finally the exclusive mandate which gives full power over the sale to the chosen real estate agency.
By choosing a semi-exclusive or exclusive mandate you can be sure that the estate agency will use all the tools at its disposal to sell your property in the best possible time and conditions.
If you choose a simple mandate, be careful not to entrust the sale of your property to too many real estate agencies, as this would have the effect of putting you at a disadvantage as potential buyers might think that there is a problem with the property as many agencies offer it for sale and often at very different rates.
3- The advertising tools offered by estate agencies :
Each real estate agency has its own methods of distributing ads, so make sure you find out what services are included in the choice of your mandate. What are the means of disseminating ads, on what medium (websites specialising in real estate transactions, social networks, shop windows, agency websites, etc.)? How many photos are disseminated, are there 2D plans, a virtual visit, the possibility of electronic signatures, and are the costs of diagnostics covered by the real estate agency? These are all questions you should ask your real estate agent to be sure that all the means will be put in place to successfully sell your house or apartment.
4- Trust your feeling :
You must feel confident with your estate agent, for this, he must be available and regularly exchange with you on the progress of his research of buyers, inform you of the positive and negative points which emerge after a visit and answer the questions that you are entitled to ask.
5- The agency commission :
Generally between 5 and 7% of the sale price, the amount of the agency commission is not regulated. You can therefore have great variations between different agencies, which is why it is important to be able to negotiate it and to take it into account when choosing the real estate agency in charge of selling your property.
