Why are brokerage fees so low
Our costs are low, we don’t have huge offices in the city centre, we don’t have luxurious vehicles and we optimise our work and our travel. Our objective is the sale of your property without any other tricks or bling. All these parameters allow us to propose a very advantageous rate for the sale of your property.
Do you carry out a valuation of our property ?
We can provide an estimate of your property on request, this estimate is not free of charge but is deducted from our fixed price of CHF 7500.- if the sale mandate is signed with our agency.
The aim for our agency is to deal with owners who really want to sell their property rather than simple “curious” requests.
n contrast to the hedonistic (comparative) approach found everywhere on the internet, the Wiliv approach is, if you will, “old school”. As a rule, a “free estimate” found on the internet is generated by computer software that automatically gives you a wide range of the value of your property.
Indeed, it is not uncommon to have, between the lowest and the highest value, a difference of CHF 100,000.- or more. An example made via the internet for a 3.5p flat in Belfaux will leave you perplexed : the sales price generated by the computer software is between CHF 330’000.- and 430’000.-.
Under these conditions, the proposed estimate is very relative since it does not ultimately allow a coherent selling price to be set.
Les stratégies marketing de certaines agences qui vous propose une estimation gratuite sont à proscrire absolument. Le but pour ces agences étant de vous faire signer un mandat de vente puis de vous lier dans la vente de votre maison même si le prix n’est pas celui du marché.
Notre approche est bien plus précise et honnête. En effet, en collaboration avec vous, nous définissons le prix de vente optimal du marché qui est une condition indispensable pour une vente rapide.
Notre estimation est facturée au prix coûtant mais est ensuite déduite du mandat de vente si vous décidez de poursuivre la vente avec nous, même si votre décision intervient après plusieurs semaines.
Why do you ask for a deposit when signing the sales mandate?
The deposit is used to pay the first costs of putting a property up for sale. This includes the taking of photos, their processing and the costs of visibility on the real estate platforms in Switzerland.
In addition, the motto “all work deserves to be paid” takes on its full meaning as it allows the broker to be remunerated for taking charge of your file from A to Z with the objective of a successful sale at the best price.
Why don't you offer free estimates.
We do not offer a free automatic estimate as it is practiced on some websites. The reason for this is simple: the automatic estimate only provides you with an approximate price range, this range is generally between CHF 80’000 and 110’000. The aim of such practices is to make you sign a sale mandate even if the price is not adapted to the market. Consequently, the risk is that your property will be visible on the various platforms for months without a single visit.
Our approach to valuation is personalised and detailed. It corresponds to the market price, an essential condition for your property to sell as soon as possible.
In the end, our estimate is free of charge because we deduct it from our fixed price of CHF 7,500 when you entrust us with the sale of your property. Even if you decide to sell your property later.
