1. Find a real estate agent

The first step in selling your home is finding a reliable and professional real estate agency. It’s easy to get a general overview of agencies in your area online. Look for agencies with excellent reviews, ensuring you work with a trustworthy team. Also, check the certifications of the agency to quickly assess its professionalism. IMMO Arie van der Lee, with its qualified and certified NVM real estate agents, excellent reviews, and the required certifications, is one of the top real estate agencies in the Almere area.

2. The initial consultation

When you decide to sell your home, choosing IMMO Arie van der Lee is a wise step. We have in-depth knowledge of the housing market in general, and particularly the Almere market, enabling us to provide the best advice. During an initial consultation, one of our agents will personally visit your home to meet you and evaluate the property. We also conduct a property valuation during this visit, making the selling process easier.

3. Cleaning and decluttering the home

Once you’ve partnered with IMMO Arie van der Lee, we’ll do everything possible to sell your home quickly and at a good price. Before moving on to the next step, it’s important to thoroughly clean and declutter your property. A tidy, well-maintained home gives buyers an accurate impression of the space. Once this is done, it’s easier to showcase the property. We’ve developed a handy checklist to help ensure nothing is overlooked.

4. Professional media coverage

After partnering with IMMO Arie van der Lee, we will schedule a photo shoot for your property. One of our professional photographers will capture the home to ensure it’s presented in the best possible light, both online and offline. The photographer will create a clear floor plan, take professional photos, and shoot captivating videos of your home.

5. Reaching your target audience

Once the media is prepared, we ensure the property reaches potential buyers. IMMO Arie van der Lee has the right tools to market your home effectively. We are especially skilled in online presentations, which broadens the reach of your target audience. For example, on Funda, one of the largest real estate platforms with thousands of daily visitors, potential buyers can place bids and post inquiries, allowing for easy and fast connections between buyers and sellers.

6. Extra promotion

IMMO Arie van der Lee goes the extra mile with additional promotion, such as on Facebook and Instagram. By sharing the property across these platforms, we increase its visibility and the chances of a sale. Our targeted Facebook campaigns help us reach an optimal audience.

7. Scheduling viewings

The real sales process begins when people start coming for viewings. A viewing is essential, as no one will buy a home they haven’t seen in person. We ensure viewings are scheduled at times that suit you, so the process is as hassle-free as possible.

8. Help with negotiations

While having visitors is great, things really get interesting when an offer is made. The first offer is an exciting milestone, but there’s still negotiating to be done. IMMO Arie van der Lee will assist you in navigating the price negotiations. We’ll help you evaluate which offers are acceptable and which fall below your asking price. This makes it easier to decide whether to accept or reject a bid. It’s important to set a minimum price for yourself, and if an offer is close, you can consider it. If the offer is much lower, you have the option to wait for a better one. Sometimes, bids even exceed the asking price!

9. Drafting the sales agreement

Once you’ve accepted an offer, the next step is drafting the sales agreement. This document outlines all the important terms and conditions. You will also need to visit the notary to formalize the agreement with a notarized deed. During this meeting, we’ll review the deposit timelines and other key financial details. If you have any questions, you can ask the notary at this time. Additionally, any specific conditions related to the property can be set at this stage.

10. Completing the sale

Congratulations! Once you’ve completed the steps above, your home is officially sold! Are you still looking for a new home? IMMO Arie van der Lee can help with that as well. In some cases, you may even be eligible for a discount since you’ve already worked with us.

Selling a home can be exciting and nerve-wracking, especially if you’ve lived in the property for a long time. By choosing IMMO Arie van der Lee, the entire process will be smoother and less stressful, potentially saving you many sleepless nights. Before you know it, you’ll be opening the door to your new home—a place to transform into your own!
