What tasks does an estate agent take responsibility for?

An estate agent puts buyers and sellers in contact with each other, carries out property valuations, creates adverts, organises viewings, conducts price negotiations and provides assistance with legal and financial matters throughout the process of buying or selling. The property specialist provides advice based on knowledge of the local market and expertise in real estate and financing, while taking responsibility for the entire process of buying or selling a property, so that you can sit back and relax.

What are the advantages of working with an estate agent?

In particular, working with an estate agent saves a lot of time because their expertise will take a great deal of the work involved in making the preparations and throughout the process off your shoulders. You will also benefit from the agent’s negotiation skills, which often leads to more favourable terms. Another important aspect is the legal certainty that an experienced estate agent provides. The expert will be familiar with the legal requirements and ensure that all the required documents are correct and submitted on time to avoid unanticipated complications.

What needs to be taken into account when choosing an estate agent?

When choosing the right estate agent, you should bear the following points in mind:

Qualifications and experience: Make sure they have in-depth training, knowledge of the market and a proven track record of success. Membership of a recognised professional association (such as SVIT) is a sign of quality
Commission: Find out how much commission you will be paying to the agent (usually between 2–5% of the sale price)
Exclusive right of sale: Check whether the agent requires an exclusive mandate – this means that only they are allowed to sell your property
Term of the contract: Make sure the contract has a realistic term. If the term is too long, this could lead to problems if you are unsatisfied
Notice period: The contract should contain fair and clear regulations on termination in case the collaboration does not go as hoped
Transparent communication: A good agent provides regular updates, is easy to get in touch with and takes your wishes into account
References and valuations: Get recommendations and read experience reports from other clients

A serious agent takes time to answer your questions, explains the sale strategy openly and always works in the client’s interest.
