The Second-Hand House, Sale - Purchase

There are many reasons to sell his house, private reasons, practical considerations and, of course, financial changes. In any case, you need competent help and a partner you can trust. With your IMMOBILIENMAKLER you can rely on a smooth and professional processing.

There are just as many reasons to buy a house. Here, it is still crucial to make decisions in advance, such as:

Second-hand house or new building?
    Where do I want to go?
    Size of house, plot, surroundings
    How much do I want and can invest

​

These are all personal decisions, e.g. with the plan HAUS KAUFEN BERGSTRASSE you can count on our reliable and fair support.

Buying a second-hand home is often associated with less stress and hassle than building a new house.
A second-hand house has already learned to be a home and is waiting for its new residents. Often it helps the imagination to walk around much more in finished rooms than to sit in front of a blueprint.

It should also be borne in mind that very often the plots on which the finished house stands are decidedly larger than newly acquired building plots. Sometimes you can even sell part of the existing land (depending on the development plan) as building land for a later return in old age.

Don't Just Sell a House - Sell a ZUHAUSE

The sale of a house is very well prepared and accompanied by a real estate agent.

From the market analysis to the approval of the purchase contract, it is with you. It is also a matter of course to accompany the seller and buyer when handing over the house.

Let's go into the procedure so you know what to expect from us, both as a seller and as a buyer.

The first step, the market value analysis, also includes a thorough search of the comparison offers for your property. We need to know who offers what and at what prices in your area and how any features differ or resemble each other.

Similarly, a good knowledge of the environment (infrastructure) is part of this analysis. Which schools are there? Are kindergartens available? What about shopping, sports centres, doctors, leisure activities and gastronomy? Is the area child- and/or dog-friendly? Is the environment also interesting for seniors.

Now a quote is created.

We guide the prospective buyer through the property with words and pictures. The written part consists on the one hand of dry facts, on the other hand, of the common, virtual, inspection of the house and land. Here, a number of details are pointed out, such as a light-flooded plank, a hand-turned stair railing, a particularly unusual floor and much more. Thus, the prospective buyer can already get a feeling for the house while reading and already accommodate his furniture in spirit.

Of course, this offer also includes excellent photos, which prove everything written down again like a small picture story. This may require a prior home staging, which means that some rooms are specially equipped with beautiful decoration, a fireplace or other special features. Your real estate agent is always at your side for all these things.

For example, the prospective buyer will quickly find the right offer in search of HAUS KAUFEN BERGSTRASSE.

The dry facts already mentioned are still missing.

 

This refers to the furnishing of the house, such as:

Kitchen equipment (stove, dishwasher, fitted kitchen, etc.)
    Bathroom (shower and bathtub, toilet, one or more washbasins)
    Heating system (oil, gas, wood, underfloor heating)
    Outbuildings (garage, shed, garden house)
    Outdoor areas (garden, pool, fence, gates)
    Basement

What else should be considered?

As installations, floor plans, hallway map, site plan, insurance documents and the energy certificate are mandatory for the exposé. If you do not have these documents, or do not have them in full, we will be happy to help you with the creation or procurement.

Of course, a "used" house may also have one or two shortcomings. These defects, be it the insulation, the heating system, a backlog of renovations or a structural defect, must be mentioned. The offer should not only be beautiful and as perfect as possible, it should also be honest.

 

Once we have done this, all these documents, together with the exposé, will be clearly stored in a folder. Thus, after sending the customer, the potential customer can also submit it to his bank for a possible financing request.

The dispatch of the exposé to interested parties is, of course, preceded by publication on the major platforms for real estate on the Internet. Here we reach regional to worldwide interested parties and the first enquiries will be received quickly.

Of course, as your professional broker, we can always be reached and will process customer inquiries immediately. This includes the recording of all contact details of the interested party, the clarification of his wishes and ideas and, of course, the question of whether and how he would like to finance the eventual purchase.

Thus, the seller has the guarantee that no missing dates will be made. Only suitable interested parties will receive the documents and the potential buyer can be sure that we will provide him with any support here, whether in the financing issue or in the avoidance of any problems.

The first viewing dates will be arranged and their real estate agent Heppenheim will now hold the first discussions in the property with the seller and the interested party.
They are also welcome to arrange appropriate trades for any desired conversions or repairs.

Finally

With a real estate agent at your side, sellers and buyers have now come together. All negotiations are conducted, the purchase price corresponds to the ideas of all parties and the value of the property. It is now up to us to arrange the appointment with a notary and to send him all the documents for drawing up a draft contract. This includes the date for handing over benefits and loads and the co-sale of possible inventory such as fitted kitchen, fitted wardrobes, curtains or similar as well as personal information such as the tax-identification number.

When the draft is available, it will be discussed and agreed with all parties and only when there are no more outstanding issues will we set the date for signature for you. No question - here too we are happy to accompany you. With us you have guaranteed legal certainty and smooth and professional handling.

The seller has received his money from the buyer, the icing on the cake is coming – the transfer of the property from the seller to the new owner. Again, we will not leave you alone and guide you through the last common appointment with a professional handover protocol.

Benefit from many years of experience, our expertise and our expertise,
