a house to renovate, a barn to convert, a building plot, a ruin…
A property
on the market usually gets sold within 3 to 6 months. Any longer
than that, then the vendor has to consider that he overpriced it or
that it is a difficult property to low.

property in order to optimize its sale.
The
different stages of the negotiation :
VISITING THE PROPETY
During his
visit, the negociator will take lots of information in order to give
to the potential purchasers as much details as possible prior to
their visit.
The vendor
will have to provide some documents such as the original deeds,
the.different taxes, the permit, ….
The
negociator will take some pictures, some measurements, will analyse
the environment, if some material and appliances are out of date and
the services connected to the property.
THE VALUATION
Through
the backlog MIN (Marché Immobilier des Notaires), where all notaires
register the sales ocurred, the negociator will be able to estimate
the property according to the value of the market. With the vendor,
they will then be able to fix a reasonable price to put the property
on the market.
THE SALES MANDATE
The
conditions for the sale of the property have to be written into a
contract that all vendors have to sign.
MARKETING THE PROPERTIES
Our office
take in charge the advertising of the properties and decide,
according to the property itself, which support to use.
To
optimize the chance of selling, we have an internet site both in
French and English.
PURCHASE OFFERS
They would
always be presented to the vendor in receipt order, regardless of
the price offered. They would them be followed either by the
vendor's acceptance, conter offer or refusal.
SELLING THE PROPERTY
The
negociation work will then stop when the original contract is
signed. This is the official agreement between the vendor and the
purchaser which would list all the conditions requested. The final
contract would then take place when all the conditions have been
respected.
