To sell a property in Spain

Our initial valuation assistance is always free of charge and as each property is unique, we treat it just that way. First, we visit your property to understand its unique characteristics. Then we compare it with similar properties on the market to get the most accurate price possible. If you are not there, we can start the process remotely.

To start the sale of your property, we draw up a listing agreement. In Spain, listing agreements are usually non-exclusive, which means that you can also use other agents. However, you are obliged to pay the commission to us if one of the clients we have referred buys your property. The assignment can be exclusive, i.e. you choose us as the only agent to sell your property.

As a seller, you need to produce various documents and information about your property. Inform the agent about the advantages of your property and your neighbourhood, as well as any shortcomings or other important information to be given to potential buyers. You also have the obligation to make a certificate of energy efficiency of the property. Of course, we or our partners will help you with this.

An important part of our job is to produce professional material that describes the uniqueness of your property and to target the marketing to the right kind of audience. First, we put your property on our website. Then we give you the best possible exposure of your property in the right channels that reach customers with the most potential. The marketing takes place on social media, international marketplaces and is matched against our own customer register.

To feel safe and secure is important for both buyers and sellers. That's why our agents make sure they are always well informed about your property and the area in which it is located. This way, buyers feel that they get all the information they need and that they are in safe hands.

A viewing in Spain could be slightly different from your home country.  Open viewings are rarely held. Instead, the estate agent in Spain usually shows a property to one speculator at a time. Before the viewing, you will of course receive advice from our agents on what can improve the viewing experience for the potential buyer, so that you can prepare for the viewing.

We can also conduct digital viewings of your property for intending buyers who cannot attend a viewing on site.

In Spain, it is unusual to have the type of bidding that process that might be common in your country. In Spain, an offer is usually made that is lower than the starting price. The final price is often determined by a negotiation. We help you to negotiate the price and conditions with the buyer.

Once you and the buyer agree, all that remains is the paperwork and transfer of ownership of your keys. Also, this is when the buyer pays a deposit to reserve the property. This payment is deposited in the client fund account of the agency.

The next step is to sign a purchase contract and the buyer pays a downpayment which is deposited into the client funds account of the agency in the broker's or agent's client funds account. The final payment is then made on the day of completion.

The starting point is that the property is sold in its current condition, taking into account its age and price. It is up to the buyer to carefully examine the property before signing the purchase contract. Keep in mind, however, that you, as the seller, have a duty of disclosure. It is therefore important that you inform the estate agent of any defects in the property, or other important information that may affect the purchase.

To verify the identity of the seller and buyer and the legal status of the property, an official public notary office is appointed. The notary also draws up the deed of sale, which is the basis for the buyer's application for a title deed.

On the closing date, you and the buyer meet with the legal representatives at the notary's office. If you cannot attend in person, you can also write a power of attorney for your representative. The keys are handed over to the buyer at the meeting with the notary. As the seller, you are responsible for leaving the property in the condition and with the installations and licences specified in the contract of sale.

Time to change the size of property you have? Or are you looking for a new area to explore? Besides their long experience, all our agents live in Spain and can point out new favourite places to you. Of course, we also give wise advice along the way.
