- Full control over the process
- Direct contact with buyers
Cons
- No NVM/Funda access without partner
- Risk of mis-pricing
- Time-intensive
- Legal exposure on contracts
- Negotiating against a professional buying agent
Hybrid options
"Funda only" packages let you list on Funda without full agency service — a middle path.
