Sell your home in 9 steps
Step-by-step plan to sell a house or apartment
Step 1: meet your real estate agent
Did you contact us through one of our channels or drop by your local office? Then a real estate agent will be immediately assigned to the sale of your house or apartment. He or she will be your fixed point of contact throughout the entire process.
Step 2: price determination
Before you can put your property up for sale, it naturally needs a price tag. Our real estate agents know the market and can accurately estimate what your house or apartment is worth, taking into account factors such as price per m², reference points and level of finish. We aim for a maximum market-conform selling price.
Step 3: choose a sales concept
Besides determining the price, the way and timing in which you place a property on the market are also crucial. Do you sell traditionally? Or do you prefer a dynamic sales concept? We are happy to advise you in your choice.
Step 4: compilation of the sales file
Selling a house or apartment involves quite a bit of administrative paperwork. At Dewaele, you can count on all documents being requested and properly followed up, in close cooperation with your notary.
Step 5: make your home attractive on the market
We give your property maximum visibility, both online and on the street. Our in-house photographers can create attractive photos or a full virtual tour, which we can use across various tools, from flyering to online advertising.
You can also prepare the sale by freshening up your property here and there.
Step 6: house visits
Depending on the sales formula you have chosen, prospective buyers will visit your house or apartment either once together or one by one. You can guide the viewings yourself or leave them to your Dewaele agent. Our advice? Always make sure visitors feel welcome and at ease — only then will they see a future home in your property.
Step 7: negotiation of an offer
Have you received an offer on your property? Hooray! Now it’s up to you to decide whether to accept it or negotiate with the potential buyer for a better price. Not a negotiator? No worries! Your Dewaele agent will gladly take the lead.
Step 8: the sales agreement
Recovered from the offer on your house or apartment? Then it’s time for the next phase: the preliminary sales agreement! Thanks to the thorough approach our agents and legal team take with your file from the very beginning, the sale can be recorded quickly and correctly in cooperation with your notary. Time to raise a glass!
Step 9: sold!
Your property has been sold — congratulations!
Even after the sale of a house or apartment, you can always come to us for no-obligation advice. In the meantime, discover our moving tips.
A correct estimate is worth a lot!

More about selling your home with a Dewaele real estate agent
If you plan to sell your house or apartment, it can sometimes be challenging to find the right buyer. By selling your house with a real estate agent, you are assured of a hassle-free sale. A Dewaele agent can help you by offering your house or apartment to potential buyers thanks to their extensive network.
Dewaele has a lot of experience in-house when selling houses and apartments and can advise you on the best way to present your home. For example, a Dewaele agent can place professional photos of your home and use them to create an attractive advertisement. This advertisement can be placed on various platforms, such as Google, social media, or specific partner websites. Additionally, the agent can also create a virtual tour of your house or apartment so that buyers get a good impression of the property before scheduling a viewing. Potential buyers can view this on your property's sales page.
Once your house or apartment is for sale, the agent can also schedule viewings and answer questions from potential buyers. This can be done, for example, by phone or email. If there is a candidate buyer willing to pay the asking price, the agent can also help draft a purchase agreement. This includes all important details of the sale, such as the asking price, payment terms, and the date on which the transfer of the house or apartment takes place.
Selling a house or apartment can sometimes be a time-consuming process, especially if you are not familiar with the real estate market or have little time to deal with it. But with the help of a professional real estate agent, such as Dewaele, the sales process can be easier and faster. Dewaele can also help you determine a realistic asking price for your home, so you don't ask too much or too little for your house or apartment. If you are looking for professional help in selling your house or apartment, Dewaele, your life partner in living and entrepreneurship, can help you with that.
