The exclusive sales mandate gives a single agency the right to sell a property within the duration of the mandate, in which case the fee schedule may be reduced. The simple sale mandate gives the seller the right to solicit several agencies or to sell the property by his own means.

Agency fees apply when the agency acts as a liaison between buyer and seller. The amount of the fees must be indicated in the property advertisement, which must also specify whether they are charged to the vendor or the purchaser.

If the agency fees are payable by the buyer, the amount of the agency fees is then specified as a percentage of the price in the advertisement: net selling price + agency fees = selling price

If the seller is responsible for the costs, the property is sold at the price including agency fees, without knowing the amount of the fees.

A flat in Bordeaux sells between 50 and 120 days depending on its size. A studio apartment sells in less than two months, while a flat with 7 rooms or more sells in 4 months on average.
In the case of a house, the delay is between 2 and 3 months.
Whatever the type of property, we find that buyers are well aware of the property market prices in the most sought-after cities, and do not hesitate to negotiate prices downwards to speed up the sale process.

We propose a fee schedule according to the price of the property sold:
Price above 600.000 € 5% of the price including VAT
Price between 300.000 € and 600.000 € 6% of the price including VAT
Price less than 200.000 € 20.000 € fixed price

We provide a free estimate based on our expertise, after studying the latest sales in your area, the current market price and taking into account the features of your property.

Here are the most important criteria to value your property:

N°01-Location
This is the most important criterion for a buyer. Properties located in a dynamic sector in terms of activity are particularly sought after. Otherwise, the quality of the public transport links can boost the sale price. Finally, the proximity of schools and services weight the selling price.
The environment of the property is very important! Noise and traffic have a negative impact on the value of the property by 10%, proximity to a motorway or railway line, noisy streets.

N°02-The characteristics
Of course, the surface area of a property influences its price, as does the number of bedrooms. In terms of surface area, the seller should rely on the living area, or Carrez surface, rather than the floor area.
For example, a poor room layout will reduce the price by between 5 and 20% depending on the nature of the problem. The floor of the flat is also important, top floor with terrace +20%.

An unobstructed view, sea view, garden view, is appreciated by buyers. A nice view inflates the sale price, while a less appreciated one: dark courtyard, cemetery, building, depreciates it.

A bright home attracts more buyers. A south-facing apartment attracts a 10% premium.
A north-facing flat is significantly less valuable.

N°03-The condition of the property
The quality of the building should not be ignored. A property in good condition sells better, and at a better price, than one that is poorly maintained. If it needs to be refreshed (paintwork in particular), the penalty remains limited. On the other hand, a property in need of refurbishment will be difficult to sell if it is not significantly cheaper than one in good condition, as the buyer will have to factor the cost of the work into his budget.

Energy performance: the property may be subject to discounts of up to 20% for a property classified E. Conversely, an A or B rated property will sell for more than another because it is more energy efficient.

The role of the real estate agent is to accompany you from A to Z in the realization of a real estate transaction. They know the property market better than anyone else and will be the most competent to estimate and value your property. As a public officer and expert in real estate law, the notary is responsible for authenticating legal acts. In the case of a property sale, it is the notary’s role to ensure that the signing of the preliminary sales agreement and the deed of sale are carried out in accordance with the law.

The seller must provide you with the following diagnostics:

Diagnosis of energy (DPE), except in the case of the sale of a dwelling in the future state of completion (VEFA)
Report on the risk of exposure to lead (CREP)
Statement mentioning the presence or absence of asbestos
State of the internal electricity installation if the installation is more than 15 years old
State of the internal gas installation if the installation is more than 15 years old
State of the non-collective sanitation installation
State relating to the presence of termites
State of risks and pollution (natural, mining, technological, seismic, radon…)
Noise diagnosis

After signing the preliminary sales agreement, the buyer has 3 months to obtain a loan. If the loan is refused, the sale does not take place and the buyer has nothing to pay to the seller. If the buyer has paid money to the seller, the seller must reimburse it to the buyer, without any deductions or compensation.
