How does the official key handover for the apartment work?

As soon as the purchase price has been paid in full and the transfer of economic interests (rights and obligations) has taken place, we will schedule an on-site appointment. We will hand over the keys to you and document the condition of the apartment, as well as all relevant meter readings, in a detailed, legally compliant handover report.

How exactly do you determine the actual value of my house?

We do not rely on crude algorithms, but rather on recognized valuation methods (comparable sales, cost, or income approaches) combined with genuine local market experience. During the on-site visit, we assess the specific condition of the property, any upcoming renovations, its energy efficiency, and, above all, its micro-location. We then compare these hard facts with current transaction data from the region to determine a realistic price that is market-competitive.

How long does it take to sell a house?

How long it takes to sell a house depends on the location, pricing strategy, condition of the property, demand, and the quality of the marketing. Some properties find a suitable buyer quickly, while others require more time to be properly positioned in the market. What matters most is that the sale is not only completed quickly but also thoroughly prepared and reliably executed. As real estate agents, we support you with a clear marketing strategy so that your sale can be carried out in a targeted, well-organized manner and with the right buyer.

How much does a real estate agent charge when selling a house?

The cost of a real estate agent is generally based on the agreed-upon commission, which can vary by region. What matters most is not just the amount of the commission, but the services you receive in return—such as property valuation, marketing, showings, negotiations, and support right up to the notary appointment. A good real estate agent ensures that the sale is organized professionally and significantly reduces your workload. As your real estate agent, we support you with clear procedures, transparent advice, and a marketing process focused on security and quality.

How much is my property worth?

The value of a property depends on several factors, including location, size, condition, amenities, lot size, year of construction, and current market demand. Renovations, energy efficiency ratings, and the micro-location within a city also play an important role in the appraisal. A realistic appraisal is crucial to ensure that your property is neither listed below market value nor held back by an excessively high price. As real estate agents, we support you with a well-founded appraisal that carefully takes into account the market, the location, and the unique features of your property.

How much time do I have to review the draft purchase agreement for the apartment?

By law, a 14-day period is required for consumer contracts. We ensure that you receive the notary’s draft contract on time so that you can review it at your leisure and, if necessary, consult with your own legal or tax advisors. During this time, we are available to answer any questions you may have.

Is it worth hiring a real estate agent, or should I sell the property on my own?

At first glance, a private sale may seem straightforward, but in practice it often involves a significant time commitment and many uncertainties. Pricing, documentation, marketing, inquiries, showings, and purchase price negotiations require experience and market knowledge. A real estate agent handles these tasks professionally and helps you avoid common mistakes in the sales process. If you’d like to carry out the sale in a secure, structured manner with personalized support, we’re here to assist you as real estate agents with a well-established process.

Is now a good time to sell?

Whether now is a good time to sell depends on your property, your personal situation, and current demand in your region. Not every market develops the same way everywhere, so it’s always worth considering the location, target audience, and realistic selling prices. If you enter the market well-prepared, you’ll lay a much stronger foundation for a successful sale. As real estate agents, we’ll support you with a personalized assessment of your property and a marketing strategy tailored to your region and your specific circumstances.

Is the on-site appraisal really completely free?

Yes, there are no hidden costs associated with this service for you. Why do we do this? Because a professional real estate appraisal is the absolute foundation of any successful home sale. We view this step as our initial investment. It’s our chance to demonstrate our local market expertise and approach to you—completely risk-free.

Is there a fee for the initial consultation and profile creation at ACCENTRO?

No, our initial consultation and the creation of your personalized search profile are completely non-binding and free of charge. We want to fully understand your goals before we suggest suitable apartments—because a confident purchasing decision is based on transparent and well-informed planning.

Should I renovate before selling?

Whether renovations are worth it before a sale depends heavily on the condition of the property and the target audience. Small changes—such as ensuring the property looks well-maintained, keeping rooms neutral, or fixing visible defects—can be worthwhile, while larger investments aren’t always cost-effective. It’s important to realistically weigh the costs against the benefits. As real estate agents, we’ll give you honest advice on which measures will effectively support the sales process and which steps you can skip.

What are the most important criteria to consider when buying an apartment as an investment, as opposed to for personal use?

When buying a property for personal use, your personal circumstances are the top priority: how well it fits into your daily life, the micro-location, and the floor plan. If, on the other hand, you’re looking for an investment property, the focus shifts to data-driven metrics. In this case, we’ll work with you to analyze factors such as maintenance fees, the ability to pass on costs, the expected return on investment, and long-term rentability.
