Why put my property in exclusivity?
Exclusivity is like a efficiency
Unlike the simple mandate the exclusive mandate promises a real development of your property.
The agency responsible for selling your property will be involved at 100% in the communication and the visibility of its product. A real estate in exclusivity does not have the same strengths and the same communication force as a property in simple mandate in several agencies. Communication and publicity of the property will be much more important on the professional sites and services rendered by the agency in question. Moreover, the exclusivity of the product makes it a rare and unique product that arouses the desire to visit with the potential customers.
More visible and better placed, it will be more likely to sell quickly and at the price. On average an exclusive mandate is sold 2.5 times more than a single warrant.
To sum up, signing an exclusive mandate will allow the agency to invest more in advertising and visibility for your property. Additional services will be offered to you according to your needs, as well as a much simpler management vis-à-vis the owner-seller especially for the organization of the visits and the delivery of the keys thanks to a single interlocutor.
What are the differences between the simple mandate and the exclusive mandate?
When you sell your property through a real estate agency, you must enter into a written contract beforehand. The content of the contract, called Mandate, is framed by the Hoguet Act of January 2, 1970. Without a warrant, the agency may not represent you and under no circumstances carry out actions for your account: (publicity, visit, negotiation, takeover of offer of purchase etc…)
The most frequent sales mandates are the exclusive mandate and the SIMPLE mandate
the simple Mandate: You can entrust the sale of your property to the number of agencies of your choice. The agencies are therefore free to disseminate your property on all the frequently used advertising media. Your property will appear several times in the same search under different agencies and often at different prices.
the exclusive Mandate: You entrust the sale of your property to a single agency that will broadcast your property on all media. The property appears at a single price. The organization of the visits is more fluid because there is only one interlocutor, the good arises as a rare property with the potential buyers and the sale usually comes faster.
Our agents are listening to you to advise you on the mandate that will correspond most to your real estate project.
