Manage Viewings
We plan and host all viewings. Our agent presents your home professionally and you get feedback after each viewing.
Negotiation
When an offer comes in, we negotiate on your behalf for the best possible outcome.
Purchase Agreement & Transfer
We draft the purchase agreement and guide the legal process up to the notary transfer.
What Does a Selling Agent Cost?
Costs mainly consist of commission: 1-2% of the final sale price. We always discuss transparently upfront.
Our commission includes all standard services: valuation, photography, Funda listing, viewings, negotiation and legal processing. You only pay once sold.
Whether an agent pays for itself depends on your home and the market. A realistic asking price, good presentation and strong negotiation make the difference. You only pay commission once your home is sold.
Costs of selling a house
As a seller you pay fewer costs than the buyer, but it helps to know them upfront. Amounts are indicative.
| Cost item | Indicative | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Selling agent | Commission approx. 1% – 2% or fixed fee | Often excluding 21% VAT; check extra and withdrawal fees |
| Energy label | A few hundred euros | Mandatory when selling; a valid label can be reused |
| Notary: cancelling mortgage | Ask for a quote | The notary repays your mortgage and cancels the registration |
| Early repayment penalty | Depends on your mortgage | Often penalty-free when selling your home; check your terms |
| Styling, photos, video | Optional | Included by many agents; ask |
| Double housing costs | Depends on situation | If your new home transfers before your old one |
Transfer tax and the transfer deed are paid by the buyer (buyer's costs).

These practical tips increase your chances of a fast sale at the best price.
Home Styling
A tidy, neutrally decorated home appeals to more buyers. Remove personal items and keep it fresh.
Timing is Everything
Spring is traditionally most popular, but opportunities exist year-round. Your agent advises on optimal timing.
Realistic Asking Price
A too-high asking price is the biggest pitfall. Trust your agent's well-founded advice.
