Real estate exchange – a good idea, but where are the offers?
Thanks to the current market situation, anyone looking to sell their home can be confident that there will be plenty of interested buyers. The situation is quite different for buyers, however: while supply is scarce, demand is higher than ever before.
So if you need to move for professional or personal reasons, you will quickly find a buyer for your property. However, finding a new home could prove a little more difficult—and, above all, more time-consuming.
But you are not alone with this problem. The "property exchange" model is designed for those who not only want to sell, but also want to buy at the same time. However, finding a match for your search criteria seems almost like winning the lottery. If a family of four is looking for a larger home in the north of Hamburg, there is bound to be an offer from an owner willing to swap. But can the family offer him the loft in Berlin that he is looking for?
To put it bluntly, finding the ideal exchange partner can be a real challenge. What's more, many exchange offers no longer end up on the portals because word has gotten around about how difficult it is to find a suitable match on your own.
Many real estate agents offer services specifically for people interested in swapping. They create a search request with your desired criteria and make sure you don't miss any offers that might suit you. Because somewhere in Hamburg-Nord, there is an owner who is ready to sell and dreams of exactly the house that the young family wants to sell.
The real estate agent's database is sure to contain a number of properties that exactly match your requirements – from owners who are keen to sell. It is easy for a real estate professional to find the right buyer for your house at the same time.
Conclusion: A property swap can make both sides happy. However, since many swap properties are offered outside of portals, it makes sense to entrust a professional with the search for a suitable swap partner. If the right offer is still not forthcoming, the agent can show you other properties and find a buyer for your house at the same time. Last but not least, this saves you time and stress, which you will certainly need when starting a new chapter in your life. Are you considering offering your property for exchange?
