Alarms are dealt with, shutters are opened, garden furniture is put out and we generally try to show your property in its very best light. The sales people will then bring the potential buyers to your property, provide all necessary information on it and try to generate interest.You will always receive feedback after each viewing and all offers which are made for your property will be communicated to you.Should the offer be of interest, we will negotiate the best possible sales price and terms for you. Once the sale is agreed, we prepare a Letter of Intent for both you and the buyer to sign. Within this document all the terms of the sale are detailed to avoid any misunderstandings, including price, deposits, dates, contents to be included as well as the contact details of the lawyers representing both you and the buyer. We will then ensure that the sale proceeds as planned, supporting the lawyers and ensuring the process completes with as little stress to you as possible.Our fees are only payable upon a successful sale.WHAT DO YOU NEED TO HAVE IN PLACE TO SELL YOUR PROPERTY? Copies of the last deed — Escritura The Habitation Licence — Licença de Habitação Registration Certificate — Certidão do Registo da Propriedade Booklet from Finance Department — Caderneta Predial Energy Certificate — Certificado Energético And Council approved floor plansWe will need to have copies of these documents and we usually obtain them directly from your local legal representative. We will also need a completed and signed marketing agreement from you. If there are any irregularities with your property documents or your property is not fully licensed or registered, which is not uncommon, we would welcome an open discussion while taking the property onto our books. This way we can address and overcome any issues with buyers before they become unsurmountable problems in the 11th hour. Buyers’ lawyers are perhaps a little less lenient with any irregularities than in years gone by.ALL LEADS WHICH ARE GENERATED ARE CAREFULLY INTERVIEWED AND QUALIFIED AND WE WILL LET YOU KNOW OF ANY PLANNED VIEWINGS OF YOUR PROPERTY.
