Step 1: Free advisory at your home

We start with a no‑obligation meeting at your property. This first conversation is free of charge and covers:

• Estimated selling price and asking price
• Expected time of sale based on local dynamics
• Your wishes and ideal conditions (timing, contingencies, flexibility)
• The best approach for positioning your home

Together we set an asking price in consultation with you and agree the strategy before we go to market.

What you’ll get from this meeting

• A clear view of your likely sale price range
• A recommended timeline and launch plan
• Answers to your questions about legal and practical steps

Step 2: Preparing and gathering information

A strong sale begins with complete, accurate documentation. Our office will, if necessary, obtain information from:

• The land register, the district office, and the environmental department
• Your proof of ownership (we check for details that must be disclosed)
• For apartments or membership rights: the financial position, budget, house rules, division deed, and statutes of the owners’ association (VvE)

In most cases, we already have these documents and the latest details on file. If needed, we can also arrange an advisor and guide you in applying for the energy label.

Step 3: Marketing that reaches serious buyers

With the complete data, we compile a full‑color sales presentation and present it to you for approval. This becomes the foundation for all other materials.

Professional photography and media

We arrange a professional photographer and tailor the media package to your property. Available options include:

• Standard photos
• 360‑degree photos
• Height (altitude) photography
• Video
• Artist impressions
• 2D and 3D floor plans

Online distribution and visibility

• FUNDA.NL is the most important sales channel in the housing market. We ensure a professional placement, and we improve the visibility of your listing by linking extra tools to the FUNDA presentation, such as:
  • PDF brochure attachment
  • Professional photography (including altitude photo)
  • 2D and 3D floor plans
  • 360‑degree photos
  • Video
• Your property is also displayed on:
  • www.moerland.nl
  • www.mva.nl
  • www.langswater.com
  • www.dijkgraafplein.com
• Our website allows “spider websites,” including:
  • www.jaap.nl
  • www.zoekallehuizen.nl
  • www.huislijn.nl

Offline materials

• Sale sign: window ticket (V‑board) or garden sign by agreement
• Booklet: a printed brochure we hand out during viewings and to interested parties; it’s also available as a downloadable PDF

Step 4: Viewings and Open House

We coordinate all viewings from start to finish.

• Owner presence: We prefer to host viewings without the owner present. Buyers tend to behave and speak more freely, giving us useful insights to optimize the sale.
• Scheduling: We contact you at least one day prior to a scheduled viewing. We selectively participate in weekend and evening viewings.
• Open House: We participate in NVM Open House Days and can also schedule an Open House at a time you prefer.

After each viewing round, you’ll receive updates and a report so you’re always informed.

Step 5: Negotiations and the purchase deed

When a prospective buyer is interested, they submit a bid—often with conditions such as a financing retention and/or a structural inspection. We:

• Review the offer and advise you on options
• Conduct the negotiations on your behalf
• Keep you informed of all developments

When negotiations succeed, the deed of sale is signed at the notary. In our region, your property is sold “buyers costs” (kosten koper), which means:

• The buyer pays the transfer costs
• The buyer chooses the notary

What the purchase deed includes

• Purchase price
• Delivery date
• Resolutive conditions
• Rights and obligations
• Guarantees and other agreed terms

Buyer’s rights to cancel

• A 3‑day cooling‑off period (without giving reasons)
• Invoking a resolutive condition for financing included in the deed

Step 6: Transfer of ownership and key handover

Well before the planned transfer date, the notary sends a draft deed of delivery and a settlement statement (all amounts to be paid and received).

• The buyer typically conducts a final inspection at your home before signing, to confirm delivery as agreed and record meter readings for gas, electricity, and water. You arrange the supplier changes.
• At the notary, both parties sign the deed of delivery. This is the moment of legal transfer. Keys, guarantee certificates, and related items are handed over to the buyer.
• The notary registers the deeds in the land register and transfers the net sales proceeds to you the next working day.

We then conclude the process—always hoping to welcome you back for your next move.

Practical tips to boost your sale

These simple steps can enhance appeal and streamline the process:

• Align on timing early: Use the free advisory to shape a launch date that fits your move and market momentum.
• Prioritize documentation: Gather HOA minutes, house rules, and guarantees; we’ll help verify what’s required.
• Optimize the first impression: A tidy, well‑lit home photographs better and converts more online views into physical viewings.
• Leverage full media: 360‑degree photos, floor plans, and video can improve listing engagement on major portals.
• Stay flexible on viewings: Allowing weekday and selective evening slots can broaden your buyer pool.
• Discuss conditions upfront: Consider acceptable delivery dates and common contingencies before negotiations begin.
