Selling process

Should i buy or sell first?

Determining whether to sell or buy a property first is a common and important question. According to banks, it is often advantageous to sell first, as it provides clarity regarding the financial capacity for the new property. In some cases, banks may even require that the sale is completed before a loan offer can be granted. Real estate agents emphasize that the decision depends on the individual situation, including the type of property, desired relocation area, life circumstances, and current market conditions. To navigate this process effectively, we recommend seeking personal advice early on to obtain tailored answers to your questions and ensure comfort in your decision.


Evaluate Multiple Real Estate Agents.

Start by contacting several different real estate agents and invite them for a free valuation of your property. It is important to find an engaged agent you can trust.

First Meeting with the Agent

When the agent comes out for a valuation, the meeting begins by gathering all necessary information about your property. Based on this information, the agent presents the services that best suit your property transaction. The agent conducts a thorough analysis of the real estate market in your area and provides a valuation of your home. Additionally, the agent offers advice on how to increase the property's value before selling, such as through homestyling and other improvements.


Marketing

The agent presents their marketing plan to reach as many potential buyers as possible. Listen carefully here, as this can be crucial in your sales process to achieve a high final price.

Viewing stategy

The agent will share their approach during viewings. Since each agent has their own style, it is important to reflect on how you would like an agent to act when potential buyers visit your apartment. Consider the aspects that would make the experience positive and informative for all involved.


Bidding process

Agents usually use an open bidding method, where the agent continuously informs bidders of the highest bid. This allows bidders the opportunity to place higher offers. Most bidding processes are managed through identification with BankID.


Contract

During the contract signing, the purchase agreement is signed. Before signing, the agent carefully reviews all purchase documents to ensure that both the seller and buyer understand and accept the contract's content. Once the contract is signed, the bidding process is considered concluded.


Move in

On the transfer day, the property transaction is completed, and you will meet again at the agent's office for the bank to transfer the final amount, at which point the keys are handed over to the new owners.
