MAKELAARSHUIS HELMONDHow to get the most out of selling your home
Step 1: start with the right price
The asking price is the most important decision of your entire sale. Too high, and buyers click through to the next home. Too low, and you leave money on the table. The best asking price matches what buyers in your neighbourhood and in your segment are paying right now. A home that is priced well from day one attracts the most interest, and interest brings the best price.
Would you like to know the right asking price for your home? We will determine it free of charge and without obligation.

Online, buyers decide within a few seconds whether to keep looking. Professional photos, a floor plan and a good property description are not a luxury but a necessity. Inside the home, the first impression counts too: tidy, light and fresh.
Step 3: fix minor defects
A dripping tap, a sticking door or discoloured grout may seem minor, but buyers often count them twice. With a few small repairs, you prevent a buyer from negotiating over things you could have fixed yourself for very little.
Step 4: be well prepared
Make sure documents such as the energy label, the owners' association (VvE) paperwork and maintenance records are ready. Buyers who get quick answers to their questions stay enthusiastic. Uncertainty costs money.
Step 5: good follow-up and smart negotiation
After the viewing, the real work begins. An estate agent who actively follows up with interested parties, gathers feedback and chooses the right moment to negotiate gets more out of your home. With us you have one dedicated contact who guides your sale from start to finish, in the evenings too.
Conclusion
In a quieter market, the approach makes the difference. With the right price, a strong presentation and good follow-up, you can still achieve an excellent result. It starts with an honest valuation. We would be happy to visit you.
Frequently asked questions
How do I set the right asking price?
Look at what comparable homes in your neighbourhood have recently sold for and at what is currently on the market. An estate agent with local knowledge is best placed to assess this with a valuation.
Isn't a high asking price smarter, to leave room for negotiation?
Usually not. Too high an asking price scares buyers off and means your home stays on the market for a long time. In the end, that often costs more than it gains.
Which documents do I need for the sale?
Among other things, the energy label, for an apartment the owners' association (VvE) documents, and information on maintenance and any defects. Your estate agent will help you with a complete list.
