In short

You can sell your property with VOTCHINA under an open or an exclusive contract. With an exclusive contract one broker is responsible for the sale, the property is offered at one price, and the full marketing plan, collection of documents and a weekly written report are at our expense. You sell with less stress and protect your price.

The "all agencies" trap

Many owners believe that the more agencies list the property, the faster it will sell. In practice the opposite happens: nobody is responsible for the sale, different prices and photos appear on different websites, and agencies compete to persuade the owner to give a bigger discount.

The buyer sees the same property at five prices, senses the owner is in a hurry and pushes the price down further. An exclusive contract does not limit your freedom – it gives one responsible broker the incentive to invest time and money in selling your property.

Why buyers prefer exclusive properties

Put yourself in the buyer's shoes: why would they choose a property sold through only one agency?

Checked documents

Before investing in advertising, the agency checks the ownership. The buyer comes to a deal where the main checks have already been done.

One honest price

No five listings differing by several thousand euros. There is one price agreed with the owner, and the buyer knows they are negotiating with the owner's representative.

Fast and accurate answers

The broker knows the property: why it is being sold, who the neighbours are, when it can be vacated, whether the furniture stays. The buyer does not wait days for an answer.

3 mistakes when choosing an agency

  1. "The more agencies, the faster." The result is usually a lower price and a longer sale.
  2. A starting price "with room for bargaining". An inflated price scares buyers away in the first weeks, when interest is highest.
  3. An exclusive without a written plan. Ask for the marketing plan, reports and price review dates to be written into the contract.

Questions and answers

What is an exclusive contract to sell a property?

A contract by which you entrust the sale to one agency for a set period. The agency takes on the full marketing, the documents and the reporting, and you have one responsible broker.

Do I pay extra for marketing with an exclusive contract?

No. Professional photos, advertising and running around institutions are at the agency's expense. You pay the commission under the contract and official fees against a receipt.

Can I terminate the exclusive contract?

The termination conditions are written in the contract, and we discuss them with you before signing.

What do I get with an open contract?

Advertising on our website and portals, offering to our buyer database, viewings and full support with the deal. The differences lie in the scope of marketing, reports and documents – see the table.

Will I pay tax if I sell the property soon after buying it?

The law exempts from tax the sale of one residential property per year if more than 3 years have passed since acquisition, and of up to two properties per year – after 5 years. If the deadline is close, with an exclusive contract we will show you how to plan the dates of the deal. For your specific case we recommend consulting our partner accountant.
