Mallorca is the buyer magnet in the Mediterranean when it comes to real estate. There are many hotspots, but only this island combines “the big city life” with beach, nature, sun and tranquility – in the secluded villa neighborhoods. Some have been visiting the island for 5 or 10 years and know exactly in which area of Mallorca they want to buy, others are still undecided about the right location in Mallorca.

Those who have been vacationing on the island for 4, 5 years probably know exactly which region of Ibiza he or she wants to buy in. But who has seen the island only 1 or 2 times, asks himself: Are there still places I should see?

The island itself, similar to Mallorca, is most popular in the south and around the “capital” Eivissa. In the northernmost part of the island you will hardly find any villas. Here, too, the sun and its course of the day plays a major role: in the south = sun, in the north = less sun. From quiet locations in the southwest around Sant Josep, Cala Vadella and El Cubells, to villas close to the city in Sant Jesús or Roca Llisa.

Buying a villa in Spain: What to look for?

Then important and frequent questions from customers:

Cost: How much does a villa cost here?

Real estate investors know: Offer price is not selling price.

I like to calculate for my clients, in a first evaluation, like this: Each square meter (with beach view) costs 10,000 euros. If recently renovated or new 15,000 euros. In addition, there is “the view”. The better the view, the more exclusive, the more expensive. Depending on the size of the villa 100,000, 200,000, 500,000. As always, upwards there are no limits.

A “nice” villa in “good” location (everything is relative and depends on your individual goals and desires) with 200 m² so 2.000.000 + “View”.

Buy a villa in Marbella?

Marbella has a high attraction especially for those who like warm climate, the securities of Europe and at the same time a little “paradise”. In the immediate vicinity of Marbella alone there are more than twenty golf courses. Another magnet for many who are addicted to golf. While the choice of golf courses in Mallorca and Ibiza is relatively limited, here you have all the terrains. Not for nothing, the “Miami of Europe”.

Experience Marbella from Cala de Mijas through the Golden Mile (Monte Paraíso), Nueva Andalucía, Benehavís, Estepona to Sontogrande.

The most popular are, of course:

• Villa with pool
• Villa by the sea, or at least
• Villa with sea view

Due to the narrow coastline another advantage: the large part of the villas has sea view and with the warm temperatures here, almost always the swimming pool.

The key advantages at a glance:

• Mediterranean to tropical climate
• Rarely below 15° in winter, likes 35° in summer
• High density of golf courses to Gibraltar
• Only ~ 5 hours flight time

Where is Marbella? Location, Arrival and Welcome

Marbella is located in the southernmost corner of mainland Europe, in the south of Spain, immediately along the Mediterranean coast. The nearest airport in Málagais 40 minutes away by car. So to get to Marbella you need to bring a day of travel, unlike, for example, in Mallorca, with villa in Son Vida or in Ibiza, with villa in Sant Jesús.

Therefore, mostly a recommendation only for those who have either 1) personal connection to Marbella or 2) real golf fans who want to spend a lot of time on the green, even when wintering.

• Extreme south-west of Europe
• Near Gibraltar, on a good day you can see Africa’s coastline
• 40 minutes from the nearest airport (Málaga)

Temperature and Climate: Cumbre Vieja

Cumbre Vieja is a large mountain at the foot of which Marbella stretches along the coastline. The Cumbre Vieja has something magical and keeps, so it seems, the clouds from the inland to move over Marbella. It protects the place from too high temperatures of the inland, from clouds, wind and weather.

Thanks to the Cumbre Vieja you have permanently nice weather here. As you can also see from the statistics.

Ø Low temperature / Ø High temperature ° C:

• Winter (January): 9 ° / 16 °
• Summer (August): 31 ° / 21 °

Directions from the airport: 30 minutes from Málaga

From the airport in Málaga, to the Old-Town of Marbella, you need about 30 minutes by car. The compensation: The road takes you along the coastline.

• Route: 51.2 km via AP-7

Villa Tour Marbella: The most expensive neighborhoods

Marbella is relatively small compared to other Spanish hotspots in the Mediterranean like Mallorca and Ibiza. After all, it is not an island, but a coastal strip. So your tour stretches for about 70 kilometers if you want to include all the relevant places from Cala de Mijas to Esetepona.

If you want to focus on Marbella city, you don’t have to look at the outer areas. For those who are looking for seclusion instead of city life, however, you should once drive the entire region from Cala de Mijas to Esetepona.

On the way to Marbella you will first pass through Mijas.

Cala de Mijas: Remote, near airport

In Cala de Mijas I got to know one of the first villas in Marbella, from a friend. The area is located between Málaga and Marbella. As you can see from the map, it has the best beachfront location. Directly in Beachfront you will find less villas. As in all of Marbella, the villas are always slightly in the hillside, instead of directly on the beach.

Advantages of Cala de Mijas:

• Away from the hustle and bustle of the city
• Relatively quiet beaches (comparison Marbella)
• Smaller community, faster connection
• Proximity to the airport (only 20 minutes)

Villa, pool, view – what else?

Marbella city

After Cala de Mijas you are in Marbella town. Before we look at the expensive villa districts, here is a tip for all visitors, the “Old-Town” of Marbella. Afterwards we drive to Monte Paraíso, the so called “Golden Mile” of Marbella and Nueva Andalucía, a district of Marbella, towards Estepona.

1. Old-Town for Welcome
2. Monte Paraíso: “Golden Mile
3. Nueva Andalucía

Old-Town

Not a place for villas, but for the old town romance of Marbella. Especially in the off-season (late fall, winter), you have many of the streets virtually to yourself and can enjoy the great restaurants, at 15 °, 20 °. From here you also come directly to the first hotspot of Marbella, to Monte Paraíso, the “Golden Mile”.

In the background the Cumbre Vieja, protecting behind the stand (inland heat, storms, etc.)

Romantic downtown with a southern flair.

Monte Paraíso: The Golden Mile

Monte Paraíso: The “Golden Mile” is located in the middle of Marbella. The neighborhood is located at the foot of Cumbre Vieja (big mountain to the inland). Small streets wind their way up to the gated communities. Here the prices for villas are around 3 to 15 million, depending on location and architecture.

Advantages of Monte Paraíso:

• Immediate proximity to the city
• Unique view over Marbella
• Exclusive neighborhood

Example from my villas in Marbella. that you already know from the cover picture. What I like especially about this villa? You see here a Night-House (left) and a Day-House (right). In the foreground with pool and artificial waterfall, in the background (not to be seen here) a more than 400 years old olive tree, which was specially brought here from Italy.

PS. You can buy this villa. See more of this villa and from Marbella here:

Villa in the Golden Mile:

Nueva Andalucía: Golf Clubs and Marina

In Nueva Andalucía, besides all the advantages, you have one thing directly: many golf courses. I have already written about the Golf Club Los Naranjos in my magazine. In addition, Puerto Banús (marina) is located here in the district. There

Advantages of Nueva Andalucía:

• Numerous good golf clubs
• Puerto Banús marina
• Directly at the center

Marina: Puerto Banús

Extra mention, the marina. No villas, but some nice penthouses and duplexes occasionally pop up on the market here. Ideal for boat owners, of course.

Tour of the Puerto Banús marina.

Benahavís: Villas in the “interior

You really want it quiet and secluded? Then you should not skip Benahavís on your sightseeing tour in Marbella. Benahavís is about 10 minutes inland, depending on how you drive. So it’s really just a short hop from Nueva Andalucía.

Location in / near Marbella:

Estepona: 30 minutes from Marbella

If you don’t want to buy directly in Marbella, Esetepona is a good option, only about 30 minutes by car, along the coast. The real estate offers here are somewhat more limited, accordingly, you may have to bring some time in the property search. In Marbella itself you will almost always find interesting offers, whether villa, historic finca or duplex in the city.

• Travel time (from Marbella): 28 min
• Route: 33.0 km, also via AP-7

Route: Marbella to Estepona.

Villa with pool in Estepona.

Sotogrande: More “Miami” does not go

My last tip is for those who seek tranquility, really tranquility and who like to play golf. Large courses to the left and right of the residence or even live directly on the golf course, with villa. All this is possible in Sotogrande, three quarters of an hour from Marbella.

• Travel time (from Marbella): 44 min
• Route: 58.5 km, also via AP-7

Own climate: winter / summer comparison

The 45 minutes driving time affect the climate, in winter the temperatures are already +1° / +2° higher, at 11° to 16°. At the same time, in midsummer, in August, it is a little cooler. Instead of 31 ° on average, only 28 ° and thus much more pleasant.

From Sontogrande you can already see the coast of Africa and you can be sure to live in a special place in Europe.

Route: Marbella to Sotogrande

Why Mallorca? Sun and climate of the island

Ø Low temperature / Ø High temperature ° C:

• Winter (January): 7 ° / 15 °

For those who want to escape from winter, for those who want sun, a dream place to live. Northeast you will also find the more pristine island of Menorca and in the southwest Ibiza.

Here is a little buyer tip Ibiza: Why Ibiza? Always 2° more and the unique volcanic island. In addition, value increases of 8-10% p.a. Read more here: Buy Villa Ibiza.

Let’s go!

Palma de Mallorca: island capital and airport

Palma de Mallorca is the island’s capital and from its “kind”, quite comparable with a small city. There is both the city center with many, really many shopping streets. There are small areas that are more artistic and also golfers always get their money’s worth in the climate.

Southwest exposure = midday and evening sun

The island “capital” of Mallorca is also located in the southwest of the island. Why? Here you have the most sun, in southern exposure. In the west of the island you also have the advantage of being able to enjoy the evening sun and the sunset over the sea.

So the big question is:

Where do you feel comfortable?

City Life – If you are looking for a central location, with lots of liveliness and quick access to the city and the airport, then places like Son Vida (suburb) or Costa d’en Blanes and Bendinat, just a few minutes away by car, are ideal for you!

Away from the city life, you will immediately get many tips for your villa in Mallorca.

Palma de Mallorca is:

• A small big city
• Very urban, from shopping to culture
• Very central, airport with many destinations
• Mediterranean climate

Before we start with the Villa Tour, we start with a good cafe.

Old town and Santa Catalina: cafe stop before sightseeing

Santa Catalina district – Not known for villas, but my favorite district in Palma de Mallorca, right after the city center / old town itself. From here we put with a good cafe directly over, to Son Vida, the villa district of Palma de Mallorca.

Son Vida: Palma suburb (city and luxury)

As already announced, Son Vida is the villa district of Palma de Mallorca. Son Vida is one of the best areas ever on the Balearic island. Here you will find among the highest number of villas Mallorca. The golf club is on the doorstep, as well as the old town of Palma de Mallorca and also the airport is only 20 minutes by car, across the city.

After Son Vida, there are two options:

1. Driving to the west – direction Port Andratx
2. Driving to the southwest – Cala Vinyes and Sol de Mallorca

We continue to Port Andratx, this is a place you must know in your search.

Port Andratx: Own class

On the way to Port Andratx you will also pass Cala Fornells and Camp de Mar:

1. Cala Fornells
2. Camp de Mar
3. Port Andratx (Arrival)

Cala Fornells: villa district on the beach

Towards Port Andratx, just before the golf club, is the small villa district of Cala Fornells. In fact, “small but nice” sums it up best. A small community, lots of land and Mediterranean Sea all around.

Camp de Mar: Golf club on the doorstep

Just a few kilometers away, Camp de Mar. Camp de Mar is also convenient for those who like to have the golf club on their doorstep. Of course, there are also properties at and on individual golf course sites, for true golf fans.

Port Andratx: harbor town and villas Area

Port Andratx is a must see! Here in Port Andratx a lot of things come together. A beautiful and large bay with mostly calm waves (tip for evenings: just enjoy the sound of the waves). You have a lot of life in the community at the port, everything from spa to shopping street. At the same time nature is in front of the house.

For boat owners also an interesting alternative to the large port of Palma de Mallorca.

The density of villas here in Port Andratx is particularly high. Accordingly, you can also find a nice villa for yourself here relatively quickly. In the smaller places that you have met before, the fluctuation is of course somewhat lower. The harbor town is extremely popular and also a dream at night, with wonderful lighting of the promenade and the two bay sides to the left and right. A villa with pool, beautiful view, some Decide to Port Andratx.

Port Andratx:

• Away from Palma de Mallorca
• Upscale community
• Sunset = Southwest (evening sun)

A small break, a delicious meal or even on day 2, it can continue, south-west of Palma de Mallorca, south of Port Andratx.

South-west: beach, golf and tranquility

Via Bendinat and Costa d’en Blanes (which you should see), you come to the south-western part of the island. Here you will find different, small villa neighborhoods. Some with cliffs, some with sandy beaches. It is good to see all areas, so you can make an overview and decide according to your wishes.

1. Bendinat
2. Costa d’en Blanes
3. Palma Nova
4. Santa Ponsa
5. Cala Vinyes
6. Sol de Mallorca
7. Costa de la Calma

Bendinat: Close to the city, sunny and XL beach

On the way to Santa Ponsa, Cala Vinyes and Sol de Mallorca you will almost automatically pass through the coastal village of Bendinat.

Bendinat:

• Coastal village
• Near the beach (walking distance)
• Close to Palma de Mallorca

Costa d’en Blanes: Behind the beaches

Directly after that comes Costa d’en Blanes, another small villa district. Not everyone wants to be directly near the beach, because especially in the seasonal period there are many, really many people here. Close to beautiful beaches, yet slightly elevated, lies Costa d’en Blanes.

Costa d’en Blanes:

• Away from the beach paths / areas
• Close to Palma de Mallorca

Palma Nova: Close to the city and yet secluded

The last stop before Santa Ponsa is Palma Nova. Again a somewhat larger place, compared to Bendinat. Also popular with some and definitely worth a look on a villa tour.

Palma Nova:

• Shopping facilities directly
• Near the beach (walking distance)
• Remote from Palma de Mallorca

Now we move on to smaller communities and communities that all have their own merits. Often it’s the little things: Cliffs, sand, the view, the village street, perhaps a memory of a “first vacation.” Purchase decisions are made for many reasons.

Santa Ponsa: Far away from the hustle and bustle

On a villa tour Santa Ponsa should not be missed. The area stretches along the southwest coast and on good days, you can see all the way to Ibiza from here. In the south of the municipality you will also find Port Adriano, a villa district, to which we come directly after Santa Ponsa.

Mallorca, not only beautiful from the outside, even inside the real estate you “live” Mallorca.

Port Adriano (El Toro): Extra tip in Santa Ponsa

Also interesting in Santa Ponsa is Port Adriano (El Toro). Therefore, once again mentioned separately and shown with map, in which location you need to look to find a nice villa and buy if necessary.

Cala Vinyes: More beach and Mediterranean Sea

Cala Vinyes is a beautiful stretch of beach and after a short jump over the tip of the island, you are already there. Although the party stronghold Magaluf is nearby, there are very nice, small villa communities in Cala Vinyes.

Sol de Mallorca: Sun of Mallorca

My penultimate tip for the southwest, below Palma de Mallorca, is Sol de Mallorca. Sol = sun, that explains for sure already a lot. It does not get much further south in Mallorca!

Costa de la Calma: Port Andratx transition / Southwest island

A little further north, already in the direction of Port Andratx, you will find Costa de la Calma. The name says it all, here you will find a gorgeous, rugged coast with cliffs (but also swimming opportunities). Costa de la Calma is the last stop on our tour in this part of Mallorca.

You could also continue the villa tour directly from Port Antratx via Costa de la Calma, towards the southwest. So you have seen all the important neighborhoods in one day.

Inland and north of the island

Of course, you can find villas not only from Palma towards the southwest island. There are also small villa neighborhoods inland and in the north that you can look at as an alternative.

1. Santa Eugenia
2. Pollenca

Santa Eugenia: Pearl of the center of the island

Very small, but exciting for those who want to go inland of Mallorca, with its own flora and fauna. Santa Eugenia is also perfectly located to make a final jump on the villa tour: Pollenca.

Pollenca: country house and finca

Finca or country house? You have the best chances in the inland of Mallorca.

This was our Villa Tour, with the main hotspots in Mallorca. As described, there are many, really many beautiful corners. But these neighborhoods are already a large part of the areas in Mallorca, which are interesting and exciting for the large part of our customers!

A little further, the north of Mallorca and its nature:

How much does a villa in Ibiza cost?

Real estate investors and brokers know: Asking price is not selling price.

I like to calculate for my clients, in a first evaluation, like this: Each square meter (with beach view) costs 10,000 euros. If recently renovated or new 15,000 euros. In addition, there is “the view”. The better the view, the more exclusive, the more expensive. Depending on the size of the villa 100,000, 200,000, 500,000. As always, upwards there are no limits.

A “nice” villa in “good” location (everything is relative and depends on your individual goals and desires) with 200 m² so 2.000.000 + “View”.

As in Germany, it is worth looking at existing properties in which you can still invest a little to get a more attractive purchase price. Per square meter, you can expect a cost of around 1,800 euros at a corresponding level.

The most exclusive locations, the most expensive places: let’s start in Ibiza’s A-locations.

Tip. All places are with map, so you can easily find your way around, even if you do not know the island or have visited only briefly.

Ibiza: A-location for your villa

Start me with (my, personal) A-locations on the island. Starting with Eivissa, the “island capital” with direct access to the airport, shopping, but also beaches, yacht port, etc.. Then I take you to Es Cubells, one of the most exclusive and expensive places in Ibiza.

1. Eivissa (Ibiza Town)
2. It Cubells
3. Roca Llisa
4. Sant Jesús
5. Santa Eulària des Riu
6. Cala Salda

A-location means mainly south-facing and sea view, the most popular are of course:

• Villa by the sea, or at least
• Villa with sea view
• Villa with pool

Eivissa: Ibiza Town with airport, shopping, etc.

Eivissa is the largest city on the island and around the city you will find villas of all kinds. From the almost historic, spacious finca with 350 years of history, to the ultra modern new construction villas. From the airport you can reach all parts of the city within minutes.

Advantages of Eivissa:

• City and shopping
• City life and culture
• Airport
• Yacht harbor
• …

A small selection of my properties in Eivissa: Ibiza Villa.

Es Cubells: Most exclusive location & gated community

Es Cubells is a village in the southwest of the island, with attached gated community on the cliffs, towards Africa.

Want to live next to soccer stars from Barcelona and Madrid? One of the few gated communities built right on the cliffs. So there is only one road into this community with villas from 6 million to ~ 25 million. Individual wishes upwards are of course no limits. In a short time there will be no more properties under 10 million.

I now had another of the few gems that were on the market for only 3.7 million. An incredible villa built in the cliffs on several levels.

The travel time from the airport is about 30 minutes, with a comfortable ride.

Advantages of Es Cubells:

• Secluded, who really seeks tranquility
• One of the most exclusive locations
• Immediate proximity to famous soccer players
• Gated Community (optional)

Most of the properties are on much steeper cliffs than this one:

Roca Llisa: One of the most exclusive adresses

Roca Llisa is also a gated community and can only be entered with a short security check. The big advantage of Ruca Llisa is the proximity to Eivissa (airport, shopping, etc.), the capital of the island. From here to the city you need hardly 15 minutes by car. Here in Roca Llisa there are not only villas in the million range, you can already buy condominiums around 500,000 euros.

Compared to the gated community in Es Cubells a great advantage if you appreciate and love the city and city life. In return, you have absolute seclusion in Es Cubells if you are looking for it in Ibiza.

Here, of course, sell only the best real estate agents in Ibiza. If you are looking for such an exclusive location, feel free to contact me.

Sant Jesús: North of Eivissa

Sant Jesús has one great advantage, its close proximity to the city. The municipality itself is small, but with the short drive time to Eivissa, this cozy atmosphere is exactly what makes Sant Jesús, so close to the center, so attractive to buyers.

Advantages of Sant Jesús:

• Proximity to Eivissa (City, Shopping, …)
• Proximity to the airport
• Still own community with tranquility
• Great view to Eivissa

Santa Eulària des Riu: 15 minutes from Eivissa

Somewhat quieter, though involving some driving time (for those who need to get to the airport more often), is Santa Eulària des Riu. Nearby is also the Nikki Beach Club, known from Miami & Co.

Advantages of Santa Eulària:

• Quiet and secluded
• Much nature around the community
• Only 15 / 20 minutes to Eivissa

Cala Salda: bay and seclusion

Last but not least in the list of A-locations in Ibiza is the bay around Cala Salda, above Sant Antoni.

• Beautiful bay
• Secluded location
• Small town nearby (Sant Antoni)

B-locations in Ibiza: Upscale island life

My recommendation for good B locations in Ibiza.

1. Cala Vadella
2. Santa Gertrudis
3. Sant Josep
4. Sant Agusti

Cala Vadella: First class cove with tranquility

A dreamlike bay, which is 30 minutes away from the airport, but offers exactly this comfort: Seclusion. With small restaurants, a beach bar, but above all peace and quiet and this unique view into the bay.

Also I am writing this little Ibiza real estate guide just from right here: Cala Vadella.

Advantages of Cala Vadella:

• Really secluded
• Beautiful bay and sunsets

Santa Gertrudis: The “real” Ibiza

Santa Gertrudis, more precisely Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, is an absolute pearl, in the center of the island. While of course very much of Ibiza is focused on the beach, here you will find the real Ibiza. Another reason for the authentic nature of the place, here is the residence of the Spanish king. In fact, you’ll pass by it every time you leave the expressway from Eivissa to Santa Gertrudis.

No beach view, no sea in front of the house, but the absolute real life of Ibiza, between lemon trees and small two-story houses.

Sant Josep: center island

Sant Josep is on the way to Cala Vadella. It is one of the most central towns and is very close to the hippie market, where you can also spot a celebrity or two. In the core of the municipality you will find everything important and the route to Eivissa is simple: straight ahead. In just 20 minutes you are at the airport.

Popular, well-known and always worth a visit, the “hippie markets”.

Sant Agusti: Wide view over land and sea

Sant Augusti is located next to Sant Antoni, a rather simpler place. But: the view goes from Sant Augusti is wonderful. Here you will also find one of the highest rocky islands rising from the sea. Between the Mediterranean Sea and the property you also look at Ibiza as it is. With small fields and orange trees as far as the eye can see.

Spectacular and fabulously illuminated at night by the lights of Sant Antoni – and better than looking at the inky black sea at night.

C-locations in Ibiza: Good, but simple

C-location does not mean risk, as in Germany. C-location means rather, something “simpler” from the cityscape. You should also know these places and, if necessary, omit them directly from your real estate acquisition.

1. Sant Antoni de Portmany
2. Formentera

Sant Antoni de Portmany: The city of the British

One of the great places in Ibiza, but rather with British tourists looking for a cheaper alternative. By no means a comparison to Mallorca and Palma de Mallorca, but by Ibiza standards, not the first choice for buyers.

Formentera: offshore island with ferry connection

A beautiful island, but really only for those who want to live really secluded.

Financing a villa: Financing in Ibiza

Financing a foreign property – This aspect cannot be summarized in a general way for the whole world. But here is a little insight for Spanish real estate.

Equity: Share in loan financing

In Spain, however, you can expect to have to provide between (40 to) 60% equity as a rule.

~ 60% equity

In Germany, it is usually only 15% equity that you need for real estate financing.

Security of the bank for foreign property

Why is that? For example, you live in Germany and your property is in Ibiza. Suddenly something goes wrong with the current financing, one or two installments arrive late at the bank. The effort, simply put, to get the property would be enormous for the bank, compared to a property that is in Germany.

Accordingly, the bank requires much more collateral from you for such a property abroad, even as a millionaire. Your regular house bank will most likely also refer you to a Spanish partner bank, which will then provide the financing.

But don’t worry, I can advise you on this aspect as well.

Valuing an apartment: Determining the asking price

Every owner wants to market his property at the best possible price. For the buyer, the price must be realistic and comprehensible based on the characteristics of the property. In the offer price determination, gut feeling is not a good advisor, as emotions get in the way of a realistic price determination. With a market value appraisal from a professional valuation, you can find out what the optimal selling price is. If an offer is too expensive, the sale is unnecessarily protracted and can even declare a property a “slow seller”.

Advantage of the valuation: setting a realistic price

When it comes to determining the value of the property, the size, location and condition of the property play an important role. Other influential details are the demand in the particular location in Kriel, as well as the comparative prices with other properties. Turn to an experienced real estate agent for the valuation, you exclude the risk of loss and all other pitfalls. You save time and do not have to deal with the complex issue of selling real estate yourself.

These factors affect the value of your home:

• Location
• Size
• State
• Year of manufacture
• Equipment
• Market situation

A garden, terrace or balcony also increase the value of your apartment:

Process: From planning to execution

Selling a condominium requires consideration in terms of the appropriate timing and must be well planned. Extensive preparations are necessary. In addition, the appropriate price must be found and the property must be marketed in the best possible way. This is followed by the completion of the sale, in which you will be assisted by a notary as a neutral intermediary. The entire sales process can be divided into three phases:

Preparation – Sale – Settlement

So that you have the most important steps of the process at a glance, here is our checklist:

1. Assemble important documents
2. Rate apartment
3. Create exposé
4. Advertise apartment
5. Preparesales meetings
6. Conducttours
7. Credit check of the interested parties
8. Draw uppurchase contract
9. Notarization & Signature
10. Processing

Let’s take a closer look at each phase.

Preparation phase: timing & financial planning

As part of the sales planning process, you will be faced with questions about the duration and process of the sale, as well as the asking price that is appropriate for your property. Write down in advance what ancillary sales costs you will incur. These include the broker’s commission, notary fees, fees for obtaining individual documents and, if applicable, the cost of advertising your home. Also, set a realistic selling date and consider what modernization and renovation work you will need to do in advance.

These factors are what preparation is all about:

• Sales period
• Service charges
• Real estate preparation

Sales phase: marketing & purchase price negotiations

To get your apartment to the buyer, you need to market your property first. This can be done either defensively or offensively. If you prefer a discreet sale or if your apartment is particularly exclusive and luxurious, you can also opt for an off market sale.

Continue reading here: Marketing real estate

Three marketing strategies:

• Defensive
• Offensive
• Off Market

The listing of your apartment is followed by the viewing. In order to get a better picture of the apartment, most future owners would like to attend the viewing in person. It is rare that the prospective buyers are represented by someone else. Prepare yourself thoroughly for the sales talks and purchase price negotiations and dare to use your documents as a support for your argumentation.

Processing: Purchase contract, notarization & handover

The buyer is found? Congratulations! If the credit check is positive, you can start drafting the purchase contract. This will then be signed and notarized together with the buyer at the notary appointment. Important: Do not hand over the apartment until you have received the full purchase price. You have two options for paying the purchase price: Either have the money transferred directly or have it done through the notary’s escrow account.

Apartment handover only after receipt of the full purchase price

The property must be handed over broom-clean, so you should thoroughly clean and tidy your apartment beforehand:

Sell apartment privately or with a broker?

This question faces every owner who wants to sell his apartment. Private owners usually undertake the sale of apartments only once in a lifetime and do not have the necessary experience. If you want to sell a property in Kriel, you should consider in advance whether it is an offer to owner-occupiers or to capital investors. Even if the key data are the same: to convince an investor, even more negotiation expertise and real estate core competence are necessary.

Target group influences sales strategy

In other words, the more exclusive the property, the more we advise leaving the sale to an expert. Here is an overview of the advantages and tasks of a real estate agent.

Hiring a real estate agent: tasks & benefits

An experienced real estate agent supports you during the entire sales phase and also advises you on the topics of taxes and financing. He takes care of the preparation and planning of the sale, the sales phase and settlement. The advantage for you as a seller: You save time, energy and by avoiding unnecessary mistakes also costs! Some brokers also bring along their own buyer and investor network, which makes the sale immensely easier.

Advantages: More time & less stress

The tasks of a broker summarized:

• Valuation of the property
• Checking the buyer’s creditworthiness
• Creation of a professional exposé
• Creation of meaningful photos of your object
• Procurement of all documentsnecessary for the sale
• Development of a marketing strategy
• Coordination & implementation of visits
• Preparation of the purchase contract
• Conducting sales negotiations until closing
• Accompaniment of the notarization procedure
• Professional object handover

Private real estate sale without an agent: tips

If you decide to sell your apartment without the help of a real estate agent, it depends on a few details. Plan in advance what additional costs you will incur and how long the sale of the apartment may take. Analyze your target group in advance and choose a suitable marketing strategy. Protect yourself from non-payment by checking the creditworthiness of the prospective buyers and prepare a handover protocol in addition to the purchase contract.

Here is our guide: Selling property privately

With these tips, you will be well prepared for a private sale:

• Weigh incidental costs in advance
• Determine realistic time of sale
• Detailed preparation
• Select suitable marketing strategy
• Check creditworthiness of the buyer
• Prepare handover protocol
