Selling Your Home? How to Ensure a Flawless Sale in 5 Steps

1. Choose a Leading Real Estate Agent with Local Expertise and an International Network

The first step toward a successful sale is hiring an experienced real estate agent with both local expertise and an international network.

At Engel & Völkers Netherlands, our agents in Amsterdam and Kennemerland understand that every home is unique and deserves a personal approach. With years of experience, in-depth knowledge of the local market, and access to a global network of premium buyers, we ensure your home reaches the right audience – from local families to international investors – and is sold in the best possible way.

2. Determine the Right Sale Price for Your Home

A realistic yet competitive sale price is crucial for selling your home quickly and successfully.

Engel & Völkers conducts a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), analyzing current market conditions, the condition of your home, and recent sales in the area. Together, we determine the optimal price that attracts buyers while maximizing your selling price.

3. Present Your Home at Its Best

First impressions matter. That’s why we make sure your home stands out from others on the market. Through professional presentation and targeted marketing, we highlight your home’s strongest features:

• Styling: Professional preparation to emphasize your home’s best qualities.

• Photography: High-quality photos that convey the right atmosphere and sense of space.

• Floor Plans: Clearly designed floor plans to give buyers insight into the layout.

• Property Description: Engaging text that highlights your home’s unique features and location.

• Brochure: A custom, compelling sales brochure that sets your home apart.

Our marketing strategy ensures maximum visibility:

• Silent Marketing: Discreet approach to selected buyers.

• In-Shop Presentation: Showcasing in our offices, events, and personal meetings with buyers.

• Digital Marketing: Via our Engel & Völkers website, Funda, social media, newsletters, and online campaigns.

• Local Marketing: Sale signs, open houses, and local promotions.

• Print Campaigns: Publications in newspapers, lifestyle magazines, and the exclusive GG Magazine.

• International Network: Access to our global network of premium buyers and investors.

4. Choose the Right Time to Sell

Timing can make a big difference in your sale. Factors such as interest rates, seasonal trends, and local demand influence the ideal selling moment.

Our agents are happy to advise you on the most favorable timing for your home, so you can benefit from an active market and achieve the best possible result. The right timing can shorten your selling period and increase your proceeds.

5. Prepare Your Home for Sale

A well-prepared home sells faster. The seller should provide all necessary documents, such as:

• The deed of ownership

• Energy label

• Any permits for renovations

A clean, tidy, and well-maintained home immediately makes a better impression.
