Selling your house.
Selling your house in Amsterdam or close surroundings is not as easy as it seems. There are many things to consider and questions like: how much will my house be worth? How do I give attention to my house? What do I do if someone is really interested in my house? And, what about the legal and administrative stuff, valuation, contracts, etc.?

Shortlist of our actions:
* Window presentation: our office is located at the Kinkerstraat 12-C, with 24/7 a lot of traffic. A better way to be seen on the move is not thinkable!
* Brochures: In order to give as much information about your house as possible we will create a brochure which can be handed out during visits or be downloaded for free from our website.
* A very important part of the possibilities to get the best attention for a house nowadays is being visible on internet. Not only will the house be presented on our own website, Housing You Makelaars will provide ads on all major websites such as Funda.nl, zoekallehuizen.nl,huislijn.nl and a few others.
* Last but not least we will put a sign "for Sale" (Te Koop) on your house. Our experience is that people in the direct neighborhood are often interested in houses for sale in that area. For themselves or for friends. A well proved lead generator!
