Why should I hire an estate agent to sell my property?

Most real estate sellers sell a house or flat once or only a few times in their life. Selling a property is very complex. This applies to both the legal and the economic aspects. An experienced real estate agent knows what you absolutely have to consider when marketing the property in order to achieve the best possible result. You benefit from this knowledge and have a partner who does everything to ensure that you can achieve an optimal sales price.

Who bears the notary fees and the costs for the land register transfer in the event of a property sale?

If you sell your property in Munich and the surrounding area, the buyer bears the notary's fees incurred in the course of the sale. Only the fees incurred for the cancellation of a land charge are to be paid by the seller. The same applies to the cancellation of a usufructuary right. The costs of the land register transfer and the land transfer tax are to be borne solely by the buyer of the property.

Q: What are the costs of hiring an estate agent?

The law defines which commission costs may be incurred by the seller and buyer respectively. Since December 2020, the broker's commission can no longer be borne unilaterally by private buyers of houses and flats. Thus, a private buyer is to bear a maximum of 50 percent of the total commission, the other half is to be paid by the seller. It is permitted that the seller bears the entire commission. This has the advantage that the real estate agent may also conduct price negotiations on behalf of the seller, which is not possible in the case of commission sharing. We will be happy to inform you about further details and show you the advantages and disadvantages of the various remuneration models that are possible under the law.

We master the final sale of your property in Munich

As soon as a prospective buyer expresses an interest in purchasing your house or apartment, the real estate sale enters the decisive phase. Now every little detail counts in order to successfully sell your property in Munich or the surrounding areas.

Credit check

It can happen that a prospective buyer misjudges his financial resources or does not find a bank that agrees to finance the purchase price. It is therefore important to check the creditworthiness of the buyer at an early stage. As an independent third party, we support you in gaining clarity about the buyer's creditworthiness at the right time.

Negotiation of the selling price

Thanks to our many years of experience and our sensitivity in many successfully completed transactions, you have a real estate agent in us who will support you strategically and tactically in achieving the optimum sales price with a corresponding brokerage contract. It can also happen that a buyer unexpectedly tries to negotiate down the sales price shortly before the contract is concluded. We are prepared for this or other possible moves on the part of prospective buyers in Munich, so that the sale of your property is ultimately brought to a successful conclusion.

Purchase contract and notary appointment

We will assist you in commissioning the drafting of the purchase agreement and attending the notary appointment to ensure that the final decisive steps go smoothly. If required, we can help you to consult expert tax advisors and lawyers for the sales process.
The notary appointment should not be underestimated. It can always happen that during the appointment with the notary, there is a sudden need for further clarification between the contracting parties. At these times, it is important to have the expertise and experience to overcome the last hurdle and successfully sell your property in Munich.

Handover of the property to the buyer

The handover to the buyer is an important moment that should be documented using a handover protocol. The details of the transfer of possession and ownership were previously recorded in detail in the notarized purchase agreement. We can also help you with this final step.

Convincing service after the sale

After we have sold your property in Munich or the surrounding area for you, we are still there for you. If any issues still need to be clarified after the sale of your house or apartment has been completed, you can contact us immediately.

Selling property without an estate agent

If you are considering selling your property without hiring a professional estate agent, it seems sensible to reflect again on the challenges of selling a property. Ideally, you will be able to answer yes to all of the following points when selling alone:

You have a sound knowledge of the market and can determine the value of your property yourself, independent of subjective components.

You know exactly how to define the target group of potential buyers.

You are adept at creating professional photos, engaging copy and bespoke marketing collateral.

You have all the time resources for the above steps as well as for visits to authorities and inspections.

They are prepared to bear costs such as for an appraisal, for marketing material and various advertisements themselves.

They are confident negotiators and know how to respond correctly to potential buyers' supposed moves.

They have a sound legal background and know the current legal situation for the legally secure sale of your property.

FAQs about selling your property in Munich

How can a property in Munich be sold successfully?

Successfully selling a property in Munich is an extensive project that usually takes several months. It is very important to organize the preparation and marketing of a house or apartment professionally. This requires appropriate expertise and considerable time resources. Every little detail can make or break the success of a property sale in Munich.

What are the costs of hiring an estate agent?

The law defines the commission costs that may be incurred by the seller and buyer. Since December 2020, private buyers of single-family homes and apartments are no longer allowed to pay the broker's commission unilaterally. A private buyer will have to pay a maximum of 50 percent of the total commission, with the other half to be paid by the seller. It is permissible for the seller to pay the entire commission. This has the advantage that the real estate agent can also conduct the price negotiations for the seller, which is not possible if the commission is split. We will be happy to provide you with further details and show you the advantages and disadvantages of the various remuneration models that are possible under the law.

Who pays the notary fees and the costs for the land register transfer?

If you sell your property in Munich or the surrounding area, the buyer bears the costs incurred for the notary as part of the sale. Only the fees incurred when deleting a land charge are to be paid by the seller. The same applies to the deletion of a usufructuary right. The costs for the transfer to the land register and the land transfer tax are to be borne solely by the buyer of the property.

What happens if the buyer of my property does not pay the purchase price?

It is very unpleasant when a buyer does not pay the agreed purchase price for a property. A comprehensive credit check before the notarized purchase agreement is signed can do a lot to avoid this. Before the buyer pays the purchase price in full, you remain the owner for your protection; this is ensured in the notarized purchase contract. Nevertheless, a reversal is very annoying and the risk of this should be minimized when you sell your property in Munich.
