Dear Readers,
As a young real estate agent at Jaralopez Immobilien in Stuttgart, I am absolutely thrilled to accompany you on the exciting journey of selling property! I know that selling a property can raise many questions and sometimes feel quite overwhelming. But don't worry, I'm here to provide you with a comprehensive guide so that your property sale in Stuttgart is a complete success. Trust me, we'll achieve this together!
Selling Property in Stuttgart: Your Comprehensive Guide to a Successful Closing
Selling your property in Stuttgart is a big decision. It's not just about numbers and contracts, but also about emotions and future plans. My goal is to make this process as transparent, stress-free, and successful as possible for you.
Phase 1: Perfect Preparation is Half the Battle!
Before we bring your property to market, careful preparation is crucial. It's like the warm-up before a marathon – it lays the foundation for success!
1. Determining Your Property's Value: What is My Home Really Worth?
This is the million-dollar question! A professional property valuation is essential to find the optimal selling price. There are various reasons for a valuation, for example, for a sale, in the case of an inheritance, or divorce.
Important to know: Public data, such as that from the Stuttgart Expert Committee (Gutachterausschuss Stuttgart), provides an overview but is not suitable for a precise valuation of your specific property. This is where I come in: I use my expertise and current market data to determine a realistic market value (Verkehrswert). This includes factors like location, condition, size, and features.
Checklist for Property Valuation:
- Floor plans and building plans
- Land registry extract (Grundbuchauszug)
- Energy performance certificate (Energieausweis)
- Proof of modernizations and renovations
2. Compiling Documents: Organization is Key!
A complete set of documents is your property's calling card. It conveys professionalism to potential buyers and builds trust. I'm happy to help you gather all the necessary documents for selling your house, including:
- Land registry extract (Grundbuchauszug)
- Energy performance certificate (Energieausweis)
- Building plans and floor plans
- Living space calculation
- Cadastral map (Flurkarte)
- Declaration of division (Teilungserklärung, for condominiums)
- Proof of maintenance and modernizations
Phase 2: Presenting Your Property Optimally
Now it gets exciting! Presenting your property is key to attracting the right buyers.
1. Professional Photos and Exposé: First Impressions Count!
We all know: What you see is what you buy! High-quality photos are therefore a must. I'll make sure your property appears in the best light – from the cozy kitchen to the sunny balcony. An appealing exposé with all important information and meaningful pictures is your property's business card.
2. Virtual Tours and 3D Views: A Look Behind the Scenes
In today's age, virtual tours and 3D views allow interested parties a first deep insight into your property without having to be physically present. This saves time for everyone involved and filters out truly serious interested parties.
Phase 3: The Sales Process: Step by Step to Success
You've prepared the property, we've presented it perfectly – now it's time for the active sale!
1. Marketing and Sales Strategy: Your Property in the Spotlight
I develop a tailored marketing strategy that places your property where the right buyers are looking. This includes:
- Online portals (ImmobilienScout24, Immowelt, etc.)
- Social media
- My network of pre-registered search clients
- Local newspaper advertisements (if sensible)
2. Viewings and Negotiations: Your Agent as an Expert
I coordinate and conduct all viewings. In doing so, I not only focus on professional advice but also on creating a pleasant atmosphere where potential buyers feel comfortable. In negotiations over the purchase price, I advocate for your interests with passion and expertise to achieve the best possible price for you.
3. The Notarized Purchase Agreement: Security for All Parties
Once we agree with a buyer, we proceed to the notary. I carefully prepare the purchase agreement and accompany you through this important step. The notary is there to ensure the legal processing and to make sure that all parties are secured.
Special Case: Property Sale by Community of Heirs or Rented Apartment
Sometimes, selling property can be more complex, for example, if it involves a property sale by a community of heirs or if you want to sell a rented apartment. In these cases too, I will stand by you with advice and support. I know the specifics and will help you overcome all legal and practical hurdles.
The Real Estate Agent's Commission: Clarity from the Start
An important topic is the real estate agent's commission. Since December 23, 2020, the new regulation on commission distribution applies in Germany, according to which buyers and sellers usually share the commission. I will explain to you transparently and understandably what costs you will incur and how the settlement is made. At Jaralopez Immobilien, we value complete transparency!
International Property Sales: Germany-Spain
As a young real estate agent with roots and expertise in the German-Spanish real estate market, I also offer a unique specialization. Do you, as a Spanish client, want to sell a property in Germany? Or, as a German client, acquire a property in Spain? I am your competent contact person for these cross-border real estate transactions.
Buying Property in Spain for German Clients: Your Guide
Buying property in Spain differs in some aspects from the German system. I will accompany you through the entire process and explain the specifics:
- Legal and tax aspects: From the NIE number to property transfer tax and inheritance tax in Spain – I ensure that you are perfectly informed and experience no unpleasant surprises.
- Property purchase process: I will explain the purchase process step by step, the role of the notary (who has different functions in Spain than in Germany), and the entry in the land registry.
- Remote processing: Even if you cannot be present, I will ensure a smooth process.
Selling Property in Germany for Spanish/International Clients: Your Expert On-Site
For Spanish or other international clients who wish to sell a property in Germany, the process often involves additional challenges, such as language barriers or different legal systems. Here I offer you specialized support:
- Remote processing: I organize the entire sales process, even if you do not live in Germany.
- Tax implications for non-residents: I advise you on the tax aspects of selling for non-residents in Germany.
- Communication and culture: I bridge cultural differences and ensure smooth communication with all parties involved.
