Tips on choosing an Real Estate Agent in Mallorca

Spoiles for choice: Real Estate agents in Mallorca

Choosing the right real estate agent is of fundamental importance for a successful sale – but how do you spot a good real estate consultant?

If you want to sell a property in Mallorca, it is important to find the best agent for yourself and your property. You should bear in mind that agents work for a commission. If you feel that you are being pressured to accept a particular offer, remember that this decision is entirely yours. A responsible real estate consultant will never pressure you to do something that doesn’t feel right to you. 

Selling property – with honesty and transparency

Honesty is the soil in which trust grows. Your real estate agent should therefore tell you about the negative aspects of a property as well. Also, you should never feel as though your real estate consultant is pressuring you to buy a particular property. Transparency and honest interaction are key factors for working together at eye level.

Get recommendations for real estate agencies in Mallorca

Your first stop should be your circle of friends and acquaintances. Have them recommend a tried-and-tested real estate consultant to you based on their own positive experience with that consultant. Also, do some research on the internet of different real estate agents in Mallorca and compare the recommendations by other users – independent review platforms like Google MyBusiness will give you an idea of the quality of consulting services. Pay attention not only to the actual review, but also to the number of reviews. A real estate consultant with lots of satisfied customers will have lots of positive reviews. 

Specializations of real estate consultants

It’s not just the location of your property in Mallorca that is crucial, but the location of your agent as well. When choosing a consultant, pay attention to where they are working – in the city or in the country – and what type of property they specialize in. The real estate consultant’s portfolio should contain properties similar to yours, and they should specialize in the region where your property is located. This way, they can provide helpful tips to potential buyers while showing your property, such as information on the nearest school, the character of the neighborhood and other relevant topics. 

Quality property sales in Mallorca 

You can find out a great deal about a real estate consultant online: How are they represented on the web, and are their website and social media channels compelling? Real estate portals are also a good indicator of the quality of a company: Are contact persons listed by name and presented professionally? Does the company use property images taken by professional photographers? Does the real estate consultant offer innovative marketing tools like 360° virtual tours or online tours, and how are the real estate shop and any provided marketing products designed? 

References of luxury properties in Mallorca

A good real estate consultant should have proven experience with selling property, and ideally should have sold properties similar to the one you are selling. This way, you can be sure that the company knows the particulars of your property type and can professionally support both the buyer and the seller. For instance, the conditions that apply to a rustic finca in Mallorca can be very different from those of a newly built modern home. In addition, it can be helpful to take a look at independent studies, like those of the Deutsche Institiut für Service-Qualität (German Institute for Service Quality) or the magazine publication FOCUS Spezial, which conducts tests and bestows awards to distinguish exceptional real estate consultants.

Competences of a real estate consultant

A real estate consultant should have proper training and a certain amount of experience in their field. Perhaps the team of real estate agents also includes members with additional qualifications in, for instance, architecture or engineering, so that specific questions can be addressed in even greater detail. Regular advanced training in real estate law and similar topic areas should also be a matter of course for the consultant.
