As soon as you decide to sell a property, you enter a new professional world. But why is it worth calling in a professional real estate company when you want to sell or rent out a property? And what do you need to look out for when choosing your real estate agent?
There are now real estate agents in almost every corner of Switzerland. Anyone looking for professional assistance in selling property will soon be unable to see the forest for the trees. Furthermore, many real estate agents entice people with promises of high sales revenue and extremely low commission, but it is precisely these offers that you should be wary of. Every professional service comes at a cost – if the price is relatively low, the service also won’t be tip-top. For this reason, it is important to go through a checklist beforehand that will show you what things to look out for when choosing a real estate agent.
A good real estate company not only specialises in the marketing of property, but also employs staff who engage in regular training and professional development. Particularly in the real estate sector, topics such as digitalisation and market prices are constantly changing. For this reason, internal training opportunities for all staff are particularly important for a professional real estate company.
At Engel & Völkers Switzerland, we place great emphasis on training. Our Academy provides training and professional development courses to all our real estate agents and equips them to become the absolute best in their field.
Anyone who becomes a real estate agent doesn’t just sell property. A true professional also has experience in refurbishing old buildings, can advise you on legal matters, and is an expert at marketing new-build projects. Additionally, the ideal real estate agent always knows the market value of your property and can get the best possible price for you when selling or renting it out.
From creating listings and taking professional photos of your property, to finding suitable buyers or tenants, through to concluding the contract – a professional will take care of all the necessities for you. Plus, you’ll have a trusted person at your side who will answer any tricky questions from prospective buyers and negotiate the best possible price, so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
At Engel & Völkers Switzerland, the figures speak for themselves: in 2020, the previous year’s result was exceeded significantly by more than 10%. Since the company was founded 16 years ago, estate agent commission has exceeded CHF 44 million for the first time. But what sets Engel & Völkers apart from other real estate companies? Our values of expertise, exclusivity and passion are our top priority.
