You will then benefit from tailored marketing concept designed specifically for your property, all the way to a successful sale.
To highlight the uniqueness of your property in the market, we have developed an individualised marketing strategy that serves as a guiding thread throughout the entire process. Initially, we selectively and discreetly present your property to our pre-registered interested parties. In the unlikely event that we cannot find a suitable buyer for your property among our worldwide database of over one million potential clients, we will collaborate with you to plan the next steps. Our extensive range of offline and online measures will be hugely beneficial, which includes a professionally created property brochure, targeted print or online advertisements, and a contemporary video to showcase your property in a unique and effective way.

Frequently Asked Questions
In principle, the process of selling a house or an apartment is the same, such as the valuation or brokerage stages. However, the required documentation for an apartment sale does differ slightly. These include the partition deeds, minutes of the last three homeowners’ meetings, maintenance fee reserves statement, and the budget plan.
Absolutely, but please be aware that the sale does not break any of the legal terms of the tenancy. For buyers looking for a capital investment, the fact that there is a current tenant will not matter at the time of the sale. In the case of all other buyers looking to move into the property themselves, a tenancy is a disadvantage and this may have a negative impact on the sale price. You should also check, if applicable, whether the person renting your house or apartment has a right of first refusal.
If you are the sole heir, you have full control over the sale. However, you will need authorisation (in the form of a will or certificate of inheritance) to correct the land register entry and must do this beforehand. If there are other heirs besides you, they are deemed to be co-owners and their consent is required. No taxes will be due if the deceased lived in the house at least until the year of sale and the two previous years; or if they owned the house for at least ten years.
Yes! In cases like this, you will pay off the outstanding loan with the bank with the corresponding cut of the proceeds from the sale. Please be aware, however, that most banks charge an early repayment fee for such a premature repayment. You can only avoid this if you promptly acquire a new property and deposit it as new collateral for the current loan (“property exchange”) or if the buyer assumes the existing loan (“debtor exchange”).
Even with the upmost flexibility about when you sell, there are still understandable concerns about inflation, interest rates, and how buyer behaviour could impact a sale. Our expert team is here to guide you every step of the way to ensure that you secure the very best sale price, regardless of external factors.
