Selling your apartment

Selling my apartment

How to put your apartment up for sale? Organize the visits? Provide the right diagnostics and know how to analyze the offers made to you by buyers? Because it is a step to be taken seriously, we accompany you for the sale of your apartment or house so that you can leave it serenely and seal a sale that suits you thanks to a real estate consultant* iad.

How to get the real estate diagnostics established

If a buyer shows interest in your apartment, you will need to provide them with copies of the y diagnostics before signing the sales agreement. What is it about? A sort of technical inspection, like those that a car undergoes from time to time to check its general condition. In the case of a sale, you must first obtain and be able to provide an energy performance diagnosis (DPE) which specifies the energy label assigned to your home. This label uses a color code and goes from A -very energy efficient home- to G -very energy consuming. Part of your advisor's* job will be to guide you through this process.

The technical diagnosis file provides details on the risk of exposure to lead within the dwelling, the presence or absence of asbestos in the construction, the state of the electrical installation and the gas installation when they are more than fifteen years old and the state of natural and technological risks. The diagnosis must also specify whether or not termites are present in the dwelling. Since 2015, the presence of a smoke detector is mandatory in all dwellings and you must be able to provide a document attesting that your dwelling has one. With an iad* advisor by your side, you can be sure you won't forget anything in this file!

How to write an attractive apartment ad

You have the diagnostics on your desk and are ready to publish your apartment sale ad but don't know how to write an attractive ad...you can count on our iad* advisors. Experts in their neighborhood they know the real estate market in your area perfectly and will be able to find the words to enhance your apartment ad online.

During the writing of it, they will highlight the main assets that your apartment has: plenty of storage space, strong presence of natural light, recent work done, quiet neighborhood, housing near transportation, etc. All the arguments count! Professional photographs will also be taken by your iad* consultant to optimize the attractiveness of your ad.

Value your apartment's assets during visits: iad accompanies you

Your apartment ad has hit the bull's eye: your iad* advisor is receiving numerous calls from potential buyers who want to visit your apartment. Now you need to get organized in terms of time slots. Ideally, choose times when you are 100% available and can give the person who comes to see your property some time. If you are not available, don't panic, your advisor will collect the keys and take care of the visit alone. He or she will be your best ally in talking to future buyers about your property. Indeed, people looking for an apartment to buy always have a lot of questions because they are about to spend a substantial amount of money for housing and want to know all the details before committing themselves. Your iad consultant will therefore be able to answer the questions of potential buyers.

Before each visit, we also recommend that you tidy up your apartment and clean it well: a kitchen with a dirty countertop or a pile of laundry lying around in a room could make a bad impression on a number of visitors. Our real estate agents are also there to advise you on possible small works to boost the potential of your apartment: repair a door handle, replace a carpet, etc. If you make these small changes early, you can get a better price.

Get advice from an industry expert to prepare the sales package

A buyer who shows interest during a visit may ask to see the sales file, which you should have prepared in advance. This file includes a number of documents. To make sure you don't forget anything, your iad* advisor can help you put together this file quickly. First, you must provide a title deed for your property, a deed of partition, a donation or a certificate of ownership: this document shows that you are the legal owner of the apartment and therefore legally in a position to transfer your title.

For the rest of the documents to be gathered, in the case of an apartment that is located in a condominium for example, you will also have to provide additional documents (condominium syndicate, building maintenance book, surface areas, descriptions, minutes etc.). Here again, the presence of an iad* advisor will allow you to seal this process quickly!
