Step 3. Home Styling and Photography

In step 3 of the house selling process plan, iQ Makelaars Enschede will beautifully showcase your home. Firstly, we provide advice on home styling, including furniture arrangement and decluttering. Following this, we arrange for professional photography of the property. We always schedule this on a predominantly sunny day to present the home in the best light. The initial impression is crucial when selling a home, making photography a vital component of the house selling process plan.

Step 4. Sales Planning and Marketing

In the sales planning for your home, we outline the further course of the sale and your expectations from us. When will we schedule an Open House, and which marketing tools will we use to sell your home? iQ Makelaars Enschede specializes in online marketing and utilizes various strategies to sell your property quickly. We list your home on multiple property websites such as Funda and can create advertisements on Google and social media platforms. Additionally, we provide unique sales brochures and a "For Sale" sign for your property. Marketing is a crucial step in the house selling process plan!

Step 5. Negotiation and Drafting the Purchase Agreement

Often, it doesn't take long before we receive an offer. We use Open Houses and viewings to understand the motivations and background of potential buyers, leveraging this knowledge in negotiations. At iQ Makelaars Enschede, we utilize our market expertise and experience to achieve the best possible price.

Once an agreement is reached with the buyer for the sale of your home, congratulations! However, the buyer is only legally bound to the house 3 days after signing the purchase agreement. Therefore, iQ Makelaars Enschede drafts a legally watertight purchase contract within 48 hours of reaching an agreement. We ensure everything is secure and consider all potential scenarios that may arise. The purchase agreement may include clauses such as:

Age clause
Asbestos clause
Non-self-occupation clause
No Risk clause

Step 6. Property Handover and Notary Transfer

The final step in the house selling process plan is the handover and transfer at the notary. Before going to the notary, we conduct a final property inspection to ensure the house is delivered in the agreed-upon condition. Then, it's time to visit the notary. iQ Makelaars Enschede will also be present to ensure you do not sign anything you are not comfortable with. Your house is now officially transferred to the new owner!
