Your key to your own property: the search request
Despite increased supply, demand remains high, and many interested parties are competing for a limited number of properties. Online listings are often unsuitable or appear untrustworthy. A targeted search request can help here.
Discover hidden treasures
Experienced real estate agents have access to far more properties than are visible on their websites or on the usual real estate portals. In addition to publicly listed properties, they also work with so-called off-market properties—properties that are discreetly marketed to selected interested parties without widespread advertising. These hidden listings offer buyers the opportunity to find attractive properties that not everyone has on their radar.
A head start through early information
With a search request from a real estate agent, you are one step ahead of the competition – you find out about suitable properties before they are officially listed on the market. This gives you the opportunity to view these exclusive properties before the general public. When you come across your dream property, you can react quickly and make the seller a compelling offer – before anyone else even knows about it.
Targeted property search: your search profile is the key to success
In order for your real estate agent to be able to present you with properties that meet your expectations, it is essential that you provide precise details of your search criteria. Define clearly which features are essential for you, which would be desirable, and which aspects are out of the question. The more detailed your search profile, the more targeted the real estate agent can be in finding suitable offers for you.
Budget and financing
It is particularly important to set your maximum purchase price. An existing financing commitment from your bank or a concrete financing plan not only gives you planning security, but also shows the real estate agent and potential sellers that you are ready to buy. By providing this information together with your search request, you increase your chances of being informed about new offers on a priority basis.
