Selling your home with Notar

Selling your home is a major undertaking. Notar’s five-step model makes things simple by guiding you through the entire sales process.
We also have several checklists which you may find helpful when it is time to sell your home.

Step 1: Free valuation

The first thing you should do is to arrange a valuation of your home to find out what sort of price you can expect to receive from the sale of your home. Our valuation service is completely free of charge and does not mean that you commit to using Notar as your estate agent, even if we perform the valuation of your home. Please feel free to check out our price statistics in order to gain an idea of what your home could be worth.

You can contact your nearest Notar office to arrange a free valuation, although the easiest way to proceed is simply to complete and submit a valuation request here on our website, whereupon we will contact you to discuss your situation further. The valuation process involves a visit to your home by one of Notar’s estate agents who specialises in properties in your particular area. During the visit, our estate agent will provide advice and will perform an assessment of the value of your home.

Together with you, our estate agent will assess the location, condition and development potential of your home, in order to identify the best possible conditions for your specific situation. We will also review the current situation and trends in the housing market at present, both generally and more specifically in your particular area.

Thanks to the experience and expertise of our estate agents, we can offer you a thorough introduction to the sales process and the services that are available to you. If you allow us to manage the entire process, not only will you save yourself a lot of time, you will also receive the highest possible price for your home. At Notar we don’t just view it as our job to assist clients with the sale or purchase of properties – it’s also what we genuinely love to do!

Selling your home with Notar

Step 2: Marketing

We work on the basis of the following principle: the more prospective buyers who attend the viewing, the higher the final selling price will be. The challenge is being able to attract a broad audience to the viewing of your particular home. At Notar we help you plan and carry out the marketing of your property so that we always have the best possible conditions to achieve a ”full house” when we open the door to your home. Each prospective buyer who comes into contact with one of our estate agents represents a potential bidder and thus an opportunity to achieve an even higher selling price.

Preparations for the photo shoot and viewing

Thorough preparations are the basis of a successful sale. Firstly we examine whether your home might be in need of some form of repair or refurbishment. We also provide you with advice on simple methods you can use to make your home look even more attractive prior to the sales process.

Superior Advertising

At Notar we have developed a generous basic package regarding the advertising of your home. Depending on what you and your Notar estate agent decide, various types of supplementary advertising can also be used to further enhance the impact of your marketing. The following window are always included when you sell your home with Notar:

Advertisement on notar.se
Advertisement on hemnet.se, bovision.se, booli.se, etc. (Hemnet is subject to a separate cost)
Advertisement on Notar’s Facebook page
Mailing to Notar’s extensive register of prospective buyers
Displays in Notar’s stores
Information about the viewing within the association and in the nearby area

Notar.se

We are proud to be able to say that Notar is one of Sweden’s largest real estate agencies. This also means that notar.se is the website that potential buyers choose to visit when searching for their dream home. We place your advertisement on our highly visited website with large images and a well formulated description. We also make sure that your advertisement is linked to all established housing marketplaces, including Hemnet, Bovision and DN Bostad.

Register of prospective buyers

Having been active in the Swedish market for more than 20 years, we are a well-established real estate agency with an invaluable contact network. We ask all visitors at all viewings what they are looking for, and we invite them to create a free Home Search profile so that we can monitor the market for them and assist them in the search for their dream home. Not only does this create a large client database, it also enables us to match your home against the hottest prospective buyers with the best profiles. Notar’s staff also contact potential buyers who have attended other viewings and have submitted bids for similar types of properties, to find out if they may also be interested in your home.

Local display windows

Buyers often look for properties in areas where they feel at home. The advertising at your local Notar offices also captures the potential buyers who don’t search for properties on the Internet. With around-the-clock exposure in our display windows, there will always be prospective buyers in your local area who become aware that a viewing is being arranged for your home.

Facebook

Your advertisement is published on Notar’s Facebook page and thus becomes immediately available to all active users of Facebook. Our Facebook page functions as a virtual office where visitors can submit questions to estate agents, book a free valuation, read our press releases or simply check out the latest news and offers.

Step 3: Viewing

The final and perhaps most important step in the marketing process has to do with how prospective buyers perceive your home. The aim of the viewing is to make prospective buyers feel that your home is their future home. Our estate agents will be on hand to answer any questions, find individual solutions for all prospective buyers, and ensure that everyone is given the opportunity to register their interest in submitting a bid.

Prior to the viewing

The more pleasant your home looks, the higher the price it will fetch! Also, don’t forget that it is the overall impression that counts. It is therefore important that you inform your estate agent of any ongoing or planned renovations etc. that could disrupt the viewing.

The viewing

We will arrange the viewing of your home on a Sunday, with an opportunity for a repeat viewing on the following Monday or Tuesday. Based on individual requests, and with your approval, we will also arrange a private viewing of your home for potential buyers who request this service.

Our estate agents are always on hand throughout the entire viewing. They present your home in the best possible light and answer any questions which may arise.

We recommend that you allow our estate agents to manage the viewing by themselves – not only does this give you more time for other activities, it also usually produces the best results.

Prior to all viewings, Notar designs and prints an informative and stylish flyer with details of the property, which all prospective buyers can take home with them. This flyer, and the description of the property it contains, helps prospective buyers to recall their feelings and impressions at the viewing, and enables them to read through the information in peace and quiet. For anyone concerned about the environment, it is also possible to download the flyer at notar.se. In addition, this possibility to download the flyer gives prospective buyers a chance to find out the answers to many of their questions before they even attend the viewing.

Notar’s estate agents are much like the Scouts – always prepared! Our estate agents always ensure that they are well informed and knowledgeable with regard to the specific property as well as the surrounding area. They also always bring a compass and a folding rule or tape measure to viewings, so that prospective buyers can themselves identify the advertised and desirable south-facing direction and can already begin measuring and planning areas for their furniture in the various rooms.

After the viewing

Immediately following the viewing, our estate agent will call each prospective buyer to find out their level of interest and financial circumstances with regard to a potential bid on the property. If any prospective buyers request an opportunity to see the property for a second time, we will arrange a repeat viewing at a time that suits.

Step 4: Bidding process

Perhaps the most nerve-racking and most exciting part of the sale is the bidding process. It usually also ends up being the most enjoyable part of the entire sales process. Notar pays careful attention to all contacts with and bids from prospective buyers, and we make sure that you, as the seller, are kept up to date regarding the latest developments.

Notar contacts all prospective buyers via telephone and text messaging to find out what our estate agents might be able to do to encourage and enable each prospective buyer to take part in the bidding process. Our aim is always to ensure that the knowledge and suggestions of our estate agents will provide our bidders with a more secure process and our sellers with a greater number of bidders, thus leading to a higher selling price. After a bid has been submitted, the process is repeated again and again.

Naturally the estate agent also maintains a continual dialogue with you as the seller, and it is also possible to follow the bidding process live on notar.se.

An important aspect to be aware of with regard to the bidding process is that it is not actually concluded until you and the buyer have signed the contract. If a higher bid is received before the contract has actually been signed, the estate agent is obligated to inform you of the new bid.

The buyer may also withdraw their bid before the contract has been signed, as a bid is not binding on either party. Furthermore, you have no obligation to sign a contract with the bidder who has submitted the highest bid – as the seller it is entirely up to you to decide which party you wish to sell your property to.

Step 5: Contract and possession

The contract is not simply a document that signals the conclusion of the bidding process – it also sets out and regulates the terms and conditions for the entire sale. All parties – the seller, the buyer and the estate agent – must agree on the specific terms and conditions regarding possession, payment terms, handover, etc.

The following is always included when you sell your home with Notar

Drawing up of the contract
Handling of the deposit/down payment
Performance of checks to ensure that all contractual terms and conditions have been satisfied
Booking and preparations for meeting regarding possession
Assistance with settlement of loans
Application for membership of association (if applicable)
Archiving of documents
Checklists prior to sale and possession
Special offers and affordable contacts regarding repairs/renovations, final cleaning, moving, interior design and home staging

The contract

When it is time to sign the contract, all parties meet at one of Notar’s offices to review all parts of the contract in peace and quiet. The aim of this meeting is to clearly determine the amount that is to be paid, when and how the payment is to be made, the identity of the seller, the identity of the buyer, when possession will occur and the terms and conditions that must be satisfied. When the parties are in agreement, the seller and the buyer sign the contract.

In order for the sale to proceed, all terms and conditions in the contract must be satisfied. Notar makes sure that all terms and conditions have been met as required, and when this is confirmed we release the deposit/down payment from our client account to the seller. Please don’t hesitate to contact your estate agent if you require help or advice.

In order to ensure that no complications will arise, the buyer is required to secure the purchase of the property through payment of a deposit/down payment. This deposit/down payment must have been transferred (paid) to the real estate agent’s client account within seven days of the date on which the contract is signed. The deposit/down payment is usually set at 10% of the total purchase price.

Possession

When it is time for the property to actually change hands, the parties meet on the date of possession at Notar’s office or at the buyer’s bank branch. All terms and conditions must be satisfied at this point, whereupon the buyer must transfer (pay) the remainder of the purchase price to the seller. Finally, when everything is complete, the seller hands over the keys to the buyer.

Don’t forget to register notification of your change of address and the movement of your subscriptions!

We recommend that you allow one of our estate agents, who specialises in properties in your particular area, to perform a free valuation of your home.

Naturally you are also welcome to call an estate agent who will be able to tell you more about the properties we have sold in your area.

Factors that determine the outcome of the sale

There are a number of factors to consider when performing a valuation, such as the location, condition and future potential of the property. We have extensive experience when it comes to assessing all these aspects, and we go to great lengths to stay completely up to date on the latest developments in the housing market, both in the area where you live and in relation to the market in general.

A HELPFUL TIP: Stay up to date on housing market developments and trends in the area where you live by keeping an eye on the prices received by other nearby homeowners when they sell their homes. This can be done, for example, by monitoring our ongoing bidding processes and by checking out our price statistics.

Hidden defects – Things you should consider

When you sell your home, it is important to be aware that, as the seller, you are liable for any hidden defects for a number of years following the date of the sale. If you are selling a house or villa, the applicable period is ten years, while for a tenant-owner apartment the applicable period is two years. If you provide the buyer with incorrect information about the property, you may be liable for payment of compensation or damages. The knowledgeable team here at Notar will help you make sure that everything is done correctly from the very beginning.

Sell apartment

There can be many thoughts when selling your apartment. How do you go about selling your apartment and what do you start with? Then it is wise to choose an experienced real estate agent who will help you step by step. A first step is to book a meeting with one of our real estate agents. We go through location, condition and development potential together - everything to find the best conditions for you. We also review how the housing market looks like right now, both generally and more specifically for your area. We go through the apartment and also give you advice on how you can make your apartment even more attractive with simple means before the sale. Everything to get the highest possible price when you sell the apartment.

Tip - When it is time to sell the apartment

Are you going to sell an apartment? The timing for the sale of apartments is generally good regardless of the season. However, there are some factors to consider. If it is a smaller apartment, it may be wise to put it on the market before the start of the semester, as many students are looking for accommodation. If you own an apartment with a patio or balcony, it can be presented in a nicer way during warmer seasons. Our real estate agents help you through the entire process from start to finish.

Sell house, villa & holiday home

When selling a house, villa or holiday home, there are extra many factors to consider. It takes a lot of knowledge and experience to make sure that you as a seller feel safe throughout the process. Notar’s estate agents are villa certified and have had education in this specific field, which means that they are specialized in property sales.

Sell house

When it is time to sell your house, a good start is to have one of Notar’s estate agents appraise the house. The real estate agent takes you through all the steps in the sales process and answers all your questions. This to make sure that you as a seller feel safe!

Cost when selling house

Selling a house is perhaps the biggest deal you will make. It is therefore very important to get support and help from the right real estate agent. Notar’s estate agents have broad knowledge and many years of experience. Start by booking a free valuation. When the real estate agent has been on site and valued your house, it is also time to look at different fee models. These models can look different and it is up to you and the real estate agent to agree on the model that suits your sale best.

Sell holiday home in existing condition

When you are selling your holiday home, there are several factors to take into account. Where in the country is the house located, if it is close to water, what condition is the house in, etc. Among other things, the real estate agent looks at these factors to make a correct valuation of the house. Although a house is always sold 'as is', you as the seller of a house are responsible for any hidden defects for 10 years.

Do not hesitate to book a meeting where one of Notar’s estate agents can help you further with the sale of your holiday home.
