The advantages of buying and selling with a real estate agent
You want to buy or sell a property in Luxembourg? Many individuals think they can fend for themselves ... Often wrong! Kozeta Morana, manager of IC North, IC Center and IC South agencies, gives us the reasons why it is interesting to use a real estate agent to find the rare pearl.
Estimate a property at its right price
If you separate from your home, it is best to contact a professional to determine its price because on your side, you will tend to overestimate. In addition, a real estate agent knows exactly the prices on the Luxembourg market, both for a sale and for a purchase. What to find the accommodation you want, at the right cost.
Saving time (and therefore energy)
If you are looking to sell or rent your home, the goal is to be visible to as many people as possible.
A real estate agent can help you highlight your property without you having to move a finger: this professional will take photos that will highlight, and can display them in the agency for which he works, but also publish them on the internet (website of the agency, real estate portals, etc.).
It is also this professional who will organize the visits and answer all questions of potential buyers. He will also, of course, keep you informed of the details, but also to provide you the offers received. After that, it's up to you to decipher them, calmly.
If you are looking for housing, a real estate agent can also help you and simplify your life. By using his services, you will only have to provide him with information about the property you are looking for, as well as the budget you are willing to spend. Depending on your criteria, it can only offer houses and apartments that may interest you. Thanks to his address book, he will also be able, without a doubt, to indicate you goods put very recently on the market of the hiring and the sale.
Whether you want to buy or sell a property, a real estate agent will take care of all the administrative work, and will help you complete the multiple documents required for the transaction.
A merchant, but also a security
The real estate agent you choose, no matter whether you are a seller or an owner, will be able to negotiate the best deal for you.
Because when it comes to getting the best possible price, it can be difficult to start discussions, which can quickly become stormy. Better to surround yourself with an expert who knows the tricks of the trade, and who will do everything possible to negotiate the most interesting price, even after deducting the amount of his commission.
Throughout the process, from your first contact to the final signing at the notary, your real estate agent will be at your side to help you in the steps to be taken, but also to provide answers to your questions about the aspects legal and technical. This professional, present to avoid litigation, will be the link between you and the third parties, namely the purchaser and the notary.

As an expatriate, do not you know Luxembourg very well? With the help of a real estate agent, he can provide you with valuable information on cities and different neighborhoods of the country, as well as price trends.
Do you have specific criteria and special requirements (proximity to a school for your children, downtown accessible by foot, etc.)? A professional in the sector will be able to understand your needs and find the property that will satisfy you.
Twist the shot at a misconception
A real estate agent, it's expensive, and his only goal is to maximize his commission? False!
While using an intermediary, it will cost you a little more ... But it's worth it, so you do not lose months trying to find or sell your home. What's more, going through a professional, you will enjoy many tips, and a quality of service that will allow you to be guided in peace.
