When I want to sell my property - Guidelines to sell property in France

You are the owner of a Chateau, a Manor home, a Mill, a Townhouse, a Mas, a Farmhouse, a Hotel, a Wine Estate, an Equestrian property, a Beach front property, a luxury villa or a Bed and Breakfast domain;

You have now decided to sell your valued property....

Achieving a successful property sale is the primary objective. This always requires a carefully chosen and decisive strategy in which both vendor and estate agent are the joint custodians of that strategy.

Should you be interested in using our services, we look forward to receiving your initial email request by clicking the 'email button' further down. We will subsequently send you by email our property intake form which covers every important detail about your property. This procedure speeds up the intake of your property. Alternatively one of our local agents could contact you/yourselves for a mandate visit.

But first, please read the important information in the next few paragraphs

• A reliable price estimate must be provided and based on good understanding of the condition of the property, its location and the market circumstances.
• The price has to be realistic, marketwise, when the objective is TO SELL.
• Information about the property must be exactly the same everywhere it is (or is going to be) listed.
• The agent or agents taking inquiries must have the same information readily available about the property
• Your privacy and the privacy of your property must be protected by our agent at all times when so requested.
• The property should not be listed on any portal where it might be listed more than once (by more than one agent)
• The property must be supported in a multi-lingual web environment to enhance international exposure.
• The agent must have an adequate system and facility to follow up quickly on supply and demand communications.
• The agents' website must have serious visitors/parties who return on a regular basis. For a quality property website, the number of unique visitors is not really that relevant. What IS relevant are strong 'property detail pages' to 'visits' ratio's and the real time that visitors spend on the website looking at our properties. Moulin has a well visited , well prepared / documented property database and moreover can demonstrate a core of thousands of serious and potential buyers.

When you decide to sell your property and before you have appointed any agent, you should always ask yourself:

• Should I appoint a leading estate agent with a domestic and international database of clientèle, who can handle every inquiry for your property with the necessary individual care and professionalism required?

In other words; when you offer a property to more than one agent (a non-exclusive marketing agreement or mandate) it is crucial for you as a vendor to understand all the implications of signing several non-exclusive marketing mandates, as non-exclusivity can and will almost certainly impact and/or influence the:

controlling factors to realize a successful sale:

1. Consider the time that you, as an owner, spend on the distribution of your property details is efficient. One or two leading agents will reduce that amount of time significantly!
2. Is the price of your property the same with every agent and instantly adjusted when necessary?
3. Where, other than on the agent's own site is your property going to be listed and will the agent have full control over your property for instance when dealing with International partners?
4. How many databases is your agent using to market the property? Is your agent properly organized in a manner to control each of those databases all the time?
5. When something needs to be changed in the information about your property should you not best put that in the hands of one agent or maybe two?
6. Is your property going to be listed, without your knowledge, on portals where it may also appear by other agents whom you have not appointed?
7. Are collaborating agents of the agent I mandated using their own price and description information rather than that of your appointed agent?
8. Have you received a fair price estimate from competing agent(s), i.e. is the price right for your property and for this market?
9. Will the agent exercise a correct screening on any interested individual(s) or potential buyer(s)?
10. Will the agent protect your privacy at all times when so required?

When any of the above factors are not being met in full, the transparency of your property listing is reduced and the chances of receiving serious inquiries are compromised.

For many properties a good aerial photograph helps to sell a property as it is shown in its natural habitat. In addition, a professionally taken picture from a special aircraft should be a wonderful piece of photographic art and also possibly something you may wish to display in your next home. These pictures can be enlarged to create a poster format quality image. The cost of this service depends on the number of owners who like to participate and the length of time that the aircraft needs to be in the air to accomplish the mission. Typically never more than 2 owners in any department. We simply pass on the price that is charged for taking a large number of different angle and distance photographs of each property.
