Your real estate agent knows the current market and holds privileged information on the ins and outs of the real estate sector.
Allow the sales team to help you establish a realistic and accurate price that will drive demand and appeal to house buyers in the current market. Their experience gives them a better understanding of the current market climate, which means they can offer you an accurate valuation based on the unique characteristics of your home. When your expectations are too high, it can slow down or completely paralyse the sales process. Our aim is to set the highest possible price while remaining realistic and within the market value.
First impressions count! Get your house ready for viewings and try to appeal to your target audience and start clearing and de-cluttering. Reports suggest that a house rid of personal belongings is more appealing to potential homebuyers.
Mallorca home buyers usually spend as little as 15 minutes on a property viewing, largely looking for cosmetic defects, and will take a mental snap shot to analyse later. You want them to see your house in the best possible light. This is not to say you have to make any major changes, or embark on a total reformation, but a few small tweaks will go a long way towards making your home look as good as it can... Make sure your property is clean and tidy. It is often a good idea to clear it of overly personal objects, and if necessary give it a fresh coat of paint, in white or neutral tones, which will make it more inviting and add to the sense of space.

It’s vital you have all the necessary documents on hand at the time of sale. The paperwork you need is as follows:
Did you know...? You could be fined for not having an Energy Certificate? Something that most property owners ignore is that when selling or renting your home in Mallorca you are required to have a energy performance certificate (EPC). Not only is it compulsory that you have one, but it will rate the efficiency of the building and be a contributing factor to the decision of whether to buy or not buy a property, as well as whether you may or may not let it as a holiday rental. So, if you are planning to buy, sell or let your home on the island, find out first what the EPC is and how to get hold of it before you start marketing your property.

Anyone interested in buying a property will want to visit it first and the property will usually receive many viewing requests before you find a buyer.
Real estate agents are responsible for arranging property visits with their clients, and can offer more flexible hours, which allows the interested parties greater freedom of choice. In this way sellers do not need to spend all day attending phone calls and organizing appointments. The availability and immediacy to meet the needs of the customer is essential to successfully achieving the sale of a property. Our real estate agents will arrange viewings with potential buyers and accompany them to the house to show them around. They will always contact you in advance to check and ascertain the time and date are suitable and give you ample warning, so you can clear away belongings, etc. In addition, the real estate agent will be able to assuage any doubts the potential buyer may have and guide him/her throughout the buying process.
There are many aspects to be taken into account when you sell a property; In general, it is a long and expensive process, with the occasional unexpected obstacle or difficulty along the way, which only a real professional will know how to solve effectively – and this is often the key to a successful sale. Your agent will also deal with legal issues arising from the purchase process and will help you gather all the necessary documentation.
Buying a property is without doubt one of the most important decisions you are likely to make and it can be difficult to take that first step, so working alongside a real estate professional can be a great help. The buyer is much more comfortable and relaxed when represented by a reputed real estate agency. It is worth noting that a foreign buyer won’t be as familiar with the purchase process or the legal aspects of buying a property abroad and will go to the real estate agencies in search of property advice when making a decision of this magnitude.
Real estate agencies are obviously those who know the property market best. Given that one of the main concerns of selling your home is to set the right sales price, counting on the help and advice of a good professional you can trust is essential. Real estate companies hold valuable market information and can differentiate between offer prices and real sale prices. Thorough knowledge and the ability to set a sales price that is in keeping with the reality of the current real estate market is key to a successful sale.
Not anyone can successfully negotiate a sale. Professional real estate agents do so on a daily basis however, and are adept and accustomed to doing so. They have in-depth knowledge of both the buyer and seller and their negotiating skills and experience are essential to successfully closing a sale.
Real estate agencies have extensive portfolios of national and international clients and investors, providing a wider audience to your property with a wider audience and allowing it to reach a larger range of potential buyers.
The real estate market is more demanding every day – Demand is high, but there are also a lot of properties on offer – Real estate agencies work on many channels and with a wide variety of publishing tools and know where and how to advertise a property to attract the largest amount of interested parties. They have their own webpages, they advertise their properties on specialised real estate portals and on social media, they invest in professional photography, etc.
First of all, decide how many agencies you want to use, whether you want to choose one sole agency for an exclusive sale or multiple agencies and widen your range. Giving exclusivity to one sole agency will lend more exclusivity to your property, but in that case you will have to make sure you select the best. Look for the most active agent in the area! Look for homes with sold signs and check who is selling them, or with changing window displays in agency offices, these are clues to who is getting properties sold in the area.
Some of these advantages are:
"If I work with lots of property agents, I’ll sell my house in less time” – “If my property is advertised in all the real estate agencies it will be much more visible and will sell more quickly”.
We have probably all thought this at some point, but if you really want to sell your home you are making a terrible mistake. Having your property advertised with too many agencies will burn it, which is to say that the potential buyer will see your home listed in so many agency windows that he/she will think there is something wrong with it. Thus it will take longer to sell and potential buyers will dwindle, which can also affect the final selling price.
Therefore, in order to sell your home in a definite period of time for the best possible price we always recommend you get advised by one sole agency (or no more than two) at all times.
Selling a property requires a huge investment in time, a multitude of viewings, client attention, publicity, effort and above all, knowledge. If you give your property to too many real estate agencies none of them will be interested in investing the amount of time, effort and money needed to showcase your property properly, as they inevitably run the risk of another agency selling it first.
Real estate agencies dedicate more time to properties they have exclusive selling rights to, as these are the ones where there is no sales competition.
One of the roles of the property sales professional is to get the best possible sales price; choose a real estate agency you trust so you can make the right decisions. Find out when buyer demand is high. After all you want buyers competing after your property to encourage good offer. Mallorca is extremely seasonal, so consider seasonal demand. When a home has been for sale for a long period of time, buyers tend to get suspicious and begin to question why.
There will always be someone interested in buying your property, however, you should consider whether it is beneficial to have too many For Sale signs on the front of your house, or to be advertised on all the real estate websites, let alone duplicated on the same property portal, as this will have the opposite effect, generating mistrust and drawing less people to view your property.
Besides, remember that the most important factor to selling your property is the trust and confidence you have in your real estate agent; you should feel confident and at ease with the person who is going to represent and showcase your home.
We offer you experience, time, local knowledge and negotiating skills to ensure you get the best possible price for your house in the least possible time.
