The broker
If you are not a professional yourself and are familiar with the real estate industry, the involvement of a broker makes sense. But how can you protect yourself from the black sheep, ie fraudulent brokers who want to rip off vendors?
A first hint is the membership in a Swiss real estate association. Comparis ch works together with various brokers via its partner service QSIM (Swiss Real Estate Quality Network). These belong to a recognized association; have at least three years of experience and a recognized professional education in the real estate industry. Your property is estimated at actual sales intention free of charge and without obligation on the spot. If the customer chooses the broker, he undertakes to market the object and to be available to the seller even after the transaction has been completed.
There is some evidence of dubious brokers. Be careful in the following cases:
- On request, you can not name any reference customers who comment positively on the broker.
- No membership in an official association can be attested.
- In addition to the commission (about 3 percent depending on the region), additional compensation for services is required.
- The broker offers to sell your property at an unrealistically high price, just to get the sale order.
-
The financial aspects

The emotions
Often, a lot of emotions are associated with a property, which should be excluded when selling as possible. Potential buyers seek an object for their own needs and ideas; therefore, one should deal sensitively and empathically with interested parties. Awaken the emotions to the buyer, not to yourself.
-
The sale
Your arguments influence the price: Argue comprehensible and rational, so you can convince interested parties best and underline the proposed selling price. Be prepared for price negotiations but always on alleged negative characteristics of your property. Some sellers and buyers, a contract is set up. If you do not know much about the real estate industry, it is generally advisable to hire a professional broker in the negotiation phase and to seek his assistance until the final handover of the keys.
