If one of your goals for this year is to sell your home in Barcelona, you might be wondering what options you have to do so: would you prefer to sell your apartment through direct negotiation with individuals or would you rather sell it through a real estate agency? While the first option seems cheaper, it is proven that in the long run, it involves more hassles and problems for the individual (because… do you have time to show the house for sale, do you have access to all the real estate portals? Do you know how to draft a legal contract? Or ensure that the potential buyer is solvent?) That is why, to avoid possible headaches, the option that most people usually choose when selling their house is to go to and trust a real estate professional. And then the question arises: how to choose a real estate agency in Barcelona that offers the best guarantees?

Ask for references about the real estate agency

When it comes to delegating the sale of a property to a real estate agency, it is desirable to find one that offers the greatest trust and maximum security since it will be responsible for valuing the house, managing all the advertising related to the sale, showing it to interested buyers, and most importantly, advising you throughout the entire process. That is why the first recommendation is that before putting your home and your data in unknown hands, you get well-informed and turn to professionals. In Catalonia, there is an official register of real estate agents (AICAT), through which each agent must certify their capabilities and present civil liability insurance. As a professional real estate agency, Casc Antic BCN has its own registration number (n. 3272) to offer its clients the greatest guarantees of trust and credibility.

Choose a real estate agency with results criteria

Not all real estate agencies are the same and that is why, at times, you see properties in the old town of Barcelona managed by real estate agencies from other areas of the city. This is a problem since the lack of knowledge of the neighborhood and its streets affects the sale management by attracting the wrong buyer. Casc Antic BCN is the only real estate agency specialized in the old town of Barcelona, with a high level of knowledge of the characteristics of the different neighborhoods of Raval, Gótico, Borne, and Barceloneta, which allows us to make accurate valuations and offer the right client the properties we manage. Additionally, we have an important network of national and international real estate companies that constantly consult and request our properties to meet their own demand. This means that when Casc Antic BCN manages a property, it will also be offered by other collaborators from Spain, Germany, China, Russia, Israel, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, and the USA, among others.

Can they offer you a comprehensive service?

Among the questions you should ask yourself before hiring a real estate agency in Barcelona to sell your apartment, you should also ask this one because selling a house involves much more than showing it to potential buyers. The real estate agency should offer you a comprehensive service that includes valuing or appraising the property, knowing the legal procedures, having knowledge of architecture and structures to update or renovate the property, being able to analyze how property visits are conducted, advertising the property in different media and real estate portals, as well as displaying it in their properties section of their office and/or website.
