Want to sell your house yourself? Wise. After all, you will save on estate agent fees if you use your time and talents. But you cannot excel at everything. That is why you get the best results with an experienced professional by your side. Getting stuck somewhere? Then an estate agent will jump in with sensible advice or practical help. Together, you will form an effective sales team.
Ultimately, selling a house yourself comes down to the following consideration: what do you arrange yourself and where do you call in the help of a skilled estate agent? You can take the following routes:
Freedom of choice when selling your house
A traditional estate agent takes care of the entire sale. From writing ad texts to viewings and negotiations. This is convenient for you as a seller, but also extremely pricey due to the commission charged. Especially in the current housing market, with ever-increasing sales prices.
Transparent package prices
Do you have enough spare time and legal knowledge? And can you hold your own at the negotiating table? Then you can handle the sale 100% without an estate agent. But even if you have all the necessary skills, you run into the following problem: without the help of an NVM estate agent, your house will never appear on Funda. As a result, you miss out on a lot of potential buyers. Too bad!
Local market knowledge
A good online estate agent will support you with the valuation, negotiate with potential buyers and take care of the legal settlement after the sale. Moreover, an online estate agent is a member of the NVM, which means your house will be advertised on Funda. Unfortunately, due to the lack of local market knowledge and limited services, you don't always get the service you deserve. In this case, selling your house yourself rarely yields the highest selling price. There goes your profit.
Excellent service
With Easie, you specify in advance which parts of the sale you will handle yourself. For the rest, you rely on an experienced Easie estate agent. This gives you the best of three worlds. The freedom of choice and low costs of selling yourself, Funda promotion by an internet estate agent, and the service and market knowledge of your local estate agent. What more could you want?

The advantages of selling your house yourself
Selling your house yourself has many advantages. You can save a lot of money, you can move faster and you have full insight into the popularity of your house. In addition, you can quickly share your enthusiasm about your own home with potential buyers by selling your home yourself.
One of the biggest advantages is that you can save considerably on estate agent fees. Whereas you pay an average brokerage commission of 1 to 1.5 percent (source: Vereniging Eigen Huis), with an online broker you often pay a one-off amount. For this amount, various services are provided that allow you to quickly and easily bring your house to the attention of your target group.
Control the sale of your house yourself
By selling your house yourself, you retain full control and flexibility over the sale of your house. Viewings you can coordinate with potential viewers yourself. Would you like to change the asking price or are you not satisfied with the photos shown in the offer or on Funda? Then this can be quickly adjusted.
Knowledge about your property
The person who knows your property best is you. By communicating your enthusiasm to the viewer, you increase your chances of success. Buyers often like being accompanied by the owner himself. The atmosphere is often more informal, and questions can be answered first-hand. Intervention by an estate agent is not necessary, which makes selling simple!
The pitfalls of selling your house yourself
Besides the advantages of selling your house, there are also a number of pitfalls. Potential buyers can give you a hard time in the negotiation phase. Besides, it is always nice to know which step you are up to.
Negotiate yourself
Have you reached the negotiation stage and are you not a star at it? Then make sure you get an estate agent or someone close to you to help you with this. Negotiations are often a tricky phase. It is nice if you go through this with certainty and a good feeling.
Follow-up steps
Once you have reached an agreement? Then there are still a lot of arrangements to be made. A sales contract must be drawn up, an appointment must be made with a notary and your house must be taken out of the sale. Easie will help you draw up a sales contract. In addition, we are always available for any questions regarding the sale of your home.
