The real estate sector in Marseille is, as in many large cities, very buoyant and there are therefore a large number of real estate agencies. Thus, when you want to sell a property in Marseille, finding professionals who will be able to succeed in this mission by meeting your expectations will be essential. Here are some tips for selling your property in Marseille.
The commission charged
When selling a property in Marseille or elsewhere through a real estate agency, the agency will necessarily charge a commission in the event of a sale as compensation for its work. Very often, this is a percentage of the sale price, With a fixed-price real estate agency, the amount of the commission is therefore already established in advance. Furthermore, opting for a fixed-price real estate agency will sometimes be more interesting than granting a percentage of the sale price.
The advice and explanations provided
Selling a property in Marseille can be a complex task if the market is difficult for sellers when you decide to get started. Thus, your real estate agent will have to be able to give you some food for thought before even considering lowering the price, such as doing a bit of home staging for example (more information on the subject on the Immoz blog ). The discussions must allow you to understand the needs of the clientele and thus make decisions accordingly, which is why good communication with a real estate agent will be essential. Moreover, the ease of contacting your real estate agent and getting answers on the progress of the process or the number of visits will be good indicators of their involvement in your project.
Does the agency already have clients?
Before entrusting the sale of your property to an agency, you must ensure that the latter has a target clientele that will be interested in your property. Indeed, some agencies will for example specialize in the sale of luxury products, others of more rural products, Make sure that the agency to which you will entrust the mission of selling your property has an address book and clients who will be interested in this type of property is therefore essential since their entire communication strategy will also revolve around this.
Finally, it is useful to remember that if after some time the chosen agency is unable to honor its promise, it will always be possible to put another one on the case provided that you have not signed an exclusivity contract. The commission to be paid will only be in the case of a sale, so there is no risk of doubling the costs.
