If you are thinking about selling

It is no secret that in these days a lot of people want to sell their property. The reasons may be many:  everything from the desire to try something new, financial difficulties or something else ...
No matter the reason, the sellers must accept, the market as it is these days, and a larger loss when selling their house. The fact that this makes the market very attractive to buyers is another matter entirely, and not the topic of this post.

For how do you sell your property in the best way? As a private seller, you have basically three options.
  1. Try to sell the house yourself.
  2. Have your property for sale at as many brokers as possible.
  3. Make a sole agreement with a single broker who can handle all aspects of the sale.

There is no doubt what we recommend: An agreement with a single broker. It will give the broker a bigger motivation to sell and not at least promoting the home without competing with 17 others brokers, who are also trying to sell your home. Because who wants to put a "for sale" signs up at a house, where the are all ready other signs, or throw money into promoting a specific property, when you risk that another broker sells it the day after?
Putting your house for sale at many brokers at the same time is a little like putting yourself between two chairs. Therefore we recommend to give one agency or broker sole rights to selling your property.

At 2Base Estate we have looked at the homes that are sold around end 2010 start 2011, and how we as a broker had a sole agreement on the property.
In average the homes sold after just 84 days on the market, and in average there was only given 2.73 percent if refusal on the market price. We see this as proof of that it pays of if you as a seller give a broker sole rights to your property.

When you enter into an agreement with a broker you must ensure that:
  • It is in written.
  • Dwelling price and the broker’s commission is clearly described.
  • A clear written agreement on how long the contract runs.
  • The broker will also present your property to his local network of estate agencies. (Check who belong to this so that you are sure the broker actually has a reach and wide variety of other local contacts).
  • The broker makes sure to take professional pictures of the property.
  • The broker puts a "for sale" sign up in case he finds it to be effective for the sale.

Least but not last we wish you good luck with your sale ...

Hottest topic of Alanya is about your guests

  Recently the most discussed topics related to real estate in Alanya is without doubt the amendments to the law about short time rental of privately owned property. This has led to several other discussions that are also relevant for owners of private properties that do not rent out their property. Mainly two questions are being discussed.... - When are people that are staying in my property to be considered as commercial rentals? and - Must I register my guests with the local authorities and how is that done?   On social media platforms a fierce discussion has been going on. So far most information available has been 3rd party information such as "according to.... ", "we were told that... ", "local authorities said that... " and so on. In this blog post we will take a slightly different approach. We will take a look at the actual laws and form an opinion based on what the laws and regulations say. Before we start please note this carefully: - This inform...

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney

Good advice when issuing a power of attorney This is usually worth considering when buying or selling real estate or when you are in need of an accountant or a lawyer. Quite often, it can be useful and time-saving to issue a power of attorney to a third party, who can then act on your behalf. The process itself is simple and fast, and alone in and around Alanya there are almost ten different notary offices to choose from. These are the most important issues to remember when issuing a power of attorney: Only issue powers of attorney to persons that you trust and that you know who they are. Make sure that the power of attorney is specific and for your exact purpose only. When selling your property via power of attorney, the exact registration and location must be specified. When selling a car, the licence plate and registration must be specified and so on. If it serves a purpose, consider making a time-limited power of attorney. Use a professional translator whom you unde...

Size of a Turkish squaremeter

  This time, we will examine something that should seem quite simple: the size of a square meter. First, let's see what Wikipedia has to say on the subject: The square meter is a unit of area. It is defined as the area of a square whose sides measure exactly one meter. For those particularly interested in the subject, it is worth noting that one square meter equals 0.000001 square kilometers or 10,000 square centimeters. One question Wikipedia does not answer is the size of a Turkish square meter. Experience has taught us that one European square meter and one Turkish square meter are not equal. This is most obvious when we receive the floor plans for the units we promote. These are often quite exaggerated, and we often see 2-bedroom apartments listed as 150 square meters. However, visiting the apartment in question often reveals a different story. In other words, the 150-square-meter apartment turns out to be just 100 square meters. The main reasons for this are: - In Turkey, info...
