Looking for a house, apartment, office or commercial space? Or do you own a property and intend to sell or rent it out? Though you can do it on your own, working with a real estate agency can be a great way to achieve this task.

Let a property expert take care of everything

The assistance of a real estate professional has many advantages if you wish to carry out a property project in the best possible conditions.

As a future buyer or tenant, the real estate agent will be in a position to provide you with a better knowledge of the market, a portfolio of varied offers, as well as informed and tailored assistance. The agent will also have the ability to help you narrow down your search according to your needs, your personality, your budget and the market realities.

For owners seeking to sell or rent their property, the real estate agent will be well versed in promoting it in a professional and thoughtful manner. A real estate agent has various tools at its disposal to develop visibility strategies, whether through online advertisements or by targeting appropriate buyer profiles.

Our partners’ point of view

Celine Mayer - Ad Valorem

“A real estate agent can advise a client on their sale or rental in a thoughtful and judicious manner. While it may seem easy for someone to promote their property on social networks or through word of mouth, the number of enquiries and viewings can quickly become unmanageable, with more curious people than actual buyers.

Sometimes these approaches are not legally compliant. A sales process can be stressful and disappointing, and deadlines are never the same. For this reason, Ad Valorem provides administrative support and guidance to clients according to FIU standards.

Going through an agency means dealing with know-how, a promise of continuous support, and legal security to which the owner can refer in case of disputes...”.

Sophie Hardy - Villa Vie

“ Villa Vie offers tailor-made support from A to Z.

We listen to our clients and their needs, guiding them through each stage of their project. They benefit from our knowledge of the market but also from our network of experts: appraisers, surveyors, notaries, architects etc.

The expertise of a real estate agent will allow the client to save time, thanks to the work done upstream. The agency carries out a pre-selection of properties, based on their quality, location, history and an estimate in relation to the market. This allows for an efficient sales process and negotiation in order to obtain an advantageous situation for both parties in the real estate transaction.

Going through a real estate agency, therefore, represents a considerable time-saver as well as a secure transaction.”

Philippe de Beer - Park Lane Properties

"An agent is better suited to help a seller or landlord determine the right price for his or her property thanks to his or her experience of the market. Working with an estate agent also means benefiting from the strength of his or her network, thus enabling a better selection of qualified potential clients, as well as an optimal screening of visits.

Besides providing good advice on how to sell a property, the real estate agent will also help with the preparation of all the documentation and the purchase process to ensure a safe and quick sale, in accordance with the law.

As far as negotiations are concerned, the real estate agent will bring both parties to an agreement on the right price. The seller is always looking for more. The buyer less. The agent will plead the points of both parties, making sure that the transaction is completed to the benefit of both parties.
