Frequently asked questions
Do I really need a real estate agent to sell or buy my house?
No, you are not legally required to hire a real estate agent when buying or selling a house in the Netherlands. However, an agent is far from superfluous. An agent offers market knowledge, negotiation skills, and legal guidance, making the entire process smoother and quicker. Often, this expertise helps you easily recover the agent fees through a higher sale price or a lower purchase offer.
What is the difference between a buying agent and a selling agent?
A buying agent represents the buyer, assisting in finding homes, negotiating the best purchase price and terms, and guiding the buying process. On the other hand, a selling agent works for the seller to market the property, negotiate the best sale price, and oversee the selling process.
Can I negotiate real estate agent fees?
Yes, real estate agent fees are not fixed and are negotiable. If you find negotiating intimidating or unpleasant, you can request quotes from multiple agents to ensure you get the best deal. Mijn Verkoopmakelaar can assist you with this.
Should I choose an online real estate agent or a traditional one?
Online real estate agents are typically cheaper than traditional ones. This is because you are responsible for tasks like taking photos and conducting viewings yourself. Online agents often charge a fixed, upfront fee. A traditional agent, on the other hand, handles almost everything for you, which comes at a higher cost. The choice is yours.
