In today’s article, we want to explain what this type of agreement consists of and what the benefits are of choosing it.

What is a real estate exclusivity sale contract?

An exclusivity contract is an agreement that is concluded between the real estate agency and the home owner, whereby the latter gives the sale of their real estate exclusively in the hands of the real estate agent for a certain period of time, which is agreed between both parties.

This contract implies a total commitment from the real estate agent to promote the house therefor selling it in the shortest possible time.

Benefits of signing and exclusivity contract to sell my home on the Costa Brava

  • It allows us to optimize the sales process. The owner only has to deal with one and the same real estate partner. A fact that allows you to build a relationship of trust with your agent, who will do everything in his power to deliver results in the shortest possible time.

  • We protect the seller at all times. The owner has relied on our services and we want to meet his expectations. So we are going to sell your house on the Costa Brava as if it were our own.

  • It increases the perceived value of the property. When only one real estate agent commercializes your home, it conveys a sense of exclusivity, value and interest to the buyer.

  • The sales period will be shorter. It allows us to shorten the lead times because the sales opportunities are greater. The reason for this is that the efficiency and involvement of the broker is total and greater.

  • A quicker and more effective response to changes.

    For example, if a price change needs to be made, it must be done quickly and immediately. In addition if the house is for sale with different brokers, it is possible that for a certain period of time the house will be offered at different prices on the market, which can cause suspicion among buyers.

    If the house is for sale with only one broker, you guarantee unambiguity in the price and conditions.

  • We use a number of limited and exclusive marketing tools that offer commercial websites where the house will be published; as a result this gives your property more exposure.

In summary

In summary, we can say that an exclusivity contract ensures a wider distribution of the property, allowing better and faster results to be achieved. Apart from an absolute commitment, there is an important saving of time and resources.
