Selling a Property


Individual initial consultation.

Getting to know our clients and their aspirations is essential for a successful sale.

Anyone who is looking to sell their property is mostly interested in one thing: obtaining the best possible purchase price within the required time frame. Our experts cannot promise to bring a suitable buyer to your doorstep tomorrow; however, as one of the leading real estate companies with an international profile, Engel & Völkers can guarantee you exceptional service that starts from day one. We understand that an individual consultation is the best starting point for swiftly and profitably selling your property.

Our measures for property valuation:

  • Expert appraisal of the property
  • Detailed analysis of the target group
  • Continuous market and trend research
  • Preparation of market reports
  • Research on comparable properties on the market


Expert property appraisal.

Trust our experts to determine the true market value of your distinctive property.


When putting your property on the market, the market appraisal plays an understandably important role in sales success. Only someone with the right experience – someone with a wide-ranging knowledge and a profound understanding of the market – will be able to appropriately appraise the value and potential of your property. In your Engel & Völkers shop, you will receive personal care and attention from a team of experts, starting with an individual assessment of the value of your property and continuing with a thorough analysis of the market and target group. The ultimate aim, after all, is to locate the right buyer for you – and to obtain the best possible purchase price for your property.

Customised marketing programme.
We listen, learn and design a marketing plan specially suited to your needs.


Your property is unique. In order to accentuate this, we will prepare a tailored marketing programme for you. We first market your property in a focused manner to prospective buyers we have specially chosen from within our network. In the event that we are not able to find a suitable buyer among our existing global customers – who number more than 400,000 around the world – then, with your agreement, we will execute the specialised marketing strategy we have prepared for your property, which includes, print and online advertising, direct mailings and public relations. To ensure that your needs are accommodated, all our proposed marketing activities are first agreed upon with you.


Successful home viewing.

From its open spaces to hidden corners, we showcase your property in the best possible light.


You only get one chance to make a first impression – so it is essential that a viewing with a prospective buyer should not be left to chance. Proper planning and preparation are vital in order to ensure that the potential buyer can visualise their future home from the outset. You will benefit from the experience of our agents, as they know how to show off the most attractive features of your property to its best advantage. Because one thing is certain: a successful viewing is a key component of a successful sale.

Proven measures for ensuring a successful viewing:

  • Development of an individual viewing concept
  • Jointly agreed plan for on-site viewing
  • Advice on aesthetic repairs that may be needed
  • Recommendations for ensuring a welcoming atmosphere

Detailed information to keep you up to date:

  • Written reports after each viewing
  • Activity reports on the status of your sale
  • Latest market information
  • Evaluation of marketing measures


Frequent client communication.

With more ways than ever to communicate, we promise to keep you involved.


When you commission a company to sell your property, you place great faith in them. We take this responsibility seriously and fully understand your desire to achieve a successful sale. Therefore, you will be given a personal contact who will accompany you throughout the entire marketing process and make sure you are involved in all our activities. You will receive regular updates on the status of your sale, written reports on viewings, details of planned marketing measures, and information relevant to the contract. We consider open and frequent communication with our clients to be essential – for without this, neither our expertise, nor our comprehensive service, can produce the desired result.


Professional contract negotiation.

We use our refined skills and resources to achieve the best possible purchase price for you.


The marketing experts at Engel & Völkers have committed themselves to a clearly defined goal: to identify the potential within your property and sell it for you as profitably as possible. Using our broad range of expertise and the specialised training received at our company-owned academy, we dedicate ourselves to this goal with complete passion.
