REA Sellers Guide

The selling process

Selling your home is one of the most significant decisions you will make in your life. It should be an exciting and positive time for you. At REA, we understand that your home means much more than just bricks and mortar, and choosing the right property professional is crucially important.

1. Qualified means quality

Instruct a qualified chartered surveyor and estate agent to value and market your property. All of our firms are members of The Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI) and meet the most stringent ethical and conduct standards. All members are fully qualified and client interests always come first.

2. Information required to give you the best possible advice:

  • Professional survey and measurement of the property
  • Photographic shoot of the property
  • Title check - Freehold - Leasehold (Tenancy, if relevant)
  • Site plan / planning
  • Review inventory

3. Agree asking price and value

We inspect your property and advise you of the approximate opinion of value & suggested asking price.

4. Choosing a methods of sale

Private Treaty, Public Auction, Online Auction or Sale by Tender. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages. We discuss the most suitable for your particular property & advise you of our recommended best option.

5. Property Contract

We exchange the property services agreement with you and your legal representative to ensure that everything is in order.

6. Professional Fee

We agree and confirm our sale fee (plus VAT.), payable in the event of a successful sale. There is also an additional listing/outlay cost for registration and marketing.

7. Marketing Campaign

We provide a marketing campaign specifically tailored to your property. This includes a colour brochure, For Sale signage within the boundary of your property and uploads on the various relevant websites. We also advise you of discretionary optional extras for marketing your property.

8. BER Certificate

We discuss Energy Rating (BER Cert) Requirements. A BER Cert is simply an energy label for your home, similar to that on electrical appliances. The label has a scale of A-G. Since January 1st, 2009 a BER Certificate is compulsory for all homes being offered for sale or lease/rent. We can arrange this for you.

9. Your solicitor

We instruct your solicitor on your behalf. He/she will request title deeds from your bank/building society. We can suggest a local solicitor from a trusted panel if you do not have one.

10. Prepare your property for viewing

We advise on how best to prepare your property for viewing. Read our tips below on how to give the best possible impression.

11. Reporting

We keep you and your solicitor updated and up-to-speed on all interest shown in your property during the campaign.

12. Completion

We seek a booking deposit from the proposed purchasers (subject to contract) once we secure agreement on a potential sale. Your solicitor and the proposed purchaser's solicitor will be informed accordingly.

Contracts are then sent by your solicitor to the proposed purchaser's solicitor, signed, and the balance (if any) of the deposit is paid. A completion date is agreed and the transaction is duly finalised by your solicitor. Our fee plus V.A.T. and relevant outstanding additional out-of-pocket expenses are payable on completion.
