Selling a home in Leiden and the surrounding area

Sell your home with a local neighbourhood estate agent

If you are selling your home in Leiden or the surrounding area, you will want to know what it is worth, how to reach the right buyers and which sales strategy could achieve the best result. The agents at REMAX Makelaarsgilde guide you personally from the first advice through to completion at the notary.

Every home and neighbourhood calls for its own approach. Our agents know the local property market down to the neighbourhood and understand which features, amenities and developments matter to buyers. We use that knowledge to position your home effectively and guide you carefully through the sale.

A realistic valuation and a smart asking price

A successful sale starts with a well-founded assessment of your home's value. We consider its location, property type, condition, recent sales and current demand in your neighbourhood. We then advise you on an asking price and sales strategy that fit your home and your plans.

Presenting your home at its best

First impressions determine whether a property catches buyers' attention. That is why we take great care with its presentation. We advise you on preparing your home for sale and arrange engaging property details, professional photography and a complete online listing. Together, we decide where and when to market your home.

Viewings and negotiations

We arrange and conduct viewings, answer prospective buyers' questions and keep you informed of their feedback. When an offer comes in, we discuss the terms, financial certainty and proposed completion date as well as the price. Your agent negotiates on your behalf and helps you make a considered decision.

From sale agreement to completion

Once an agreement is reached, we record the terms carefully in the sale agreement. We keep track of important deadlines, stay in touch with everyone involved and guide the final inspection and handover of the keys. You stay informed and always know what happens next.

Step-by-step plan

The sales process in 7 steps:

Setting the asking price

One of our estate agents will visit you to determine the value of your home. We consider the property’s strengths, any areas for improvement and current market conditions. On that basis, we advise a realistic, strategic asking price so that your home is positioned attractively.

Presenting your home

You only get one chance to make a first impression. That is why we work with you to create the perfect presentation. Our professional photographer produces high-quality photographs, 360° imagery and a property video. We also create floor plans that present the property clearly. We are happy to advise you on how best to prepare your home for photographs and viewings.

Marketing

With a carefully considered marketing strategy, we bring your home to the attention of the right audience. We promote it on Funda.nl, on social media such as Facebook and Instagram, through newsletters, flyers and eye-catching For Sale boards. Your home is also visible in our window display in central Leiden — a prime location with plenty of passing footfall.

Viewings

Throughout the sales process, we keep you fully informed. The estate agent arranges viewings with you and personally guides interested buyers through the property. This ensures that your home is presented in the best possible way.

Negotiations

We aim for the best result. With our market knowledge and years of negotiating experience, we advise on the right strategy and conduct discussions on your behalf. Because we are not emotionally involved, we can negotiate sharply and purposefully to achieve the highest possible return.

The purchase agreement

Once agreement has been reached on the price and conditions, we draw up the purchase agreement and go through it with you carefully. After both parties have signed, the statutory three-day cooling-off period begins. We then send the signed purchase agreement to the notary.

Notarial transfer

Before completion, you will receive the draft deed of transfer and settlement statement from the notary. We go through these documents with you and answer all your questions. Before completion, the buyer carries out a final inspection of the property, during which meter readings are recorded. The official transfer then takes place at the notary office and you hand over the keys to the new owner — the moment the sale is formally complete.
