For the
Seller:
We visit the property with at least one of
the registered owners (the seller), to perform our assessment and gather all necessary
information. You can
contact us here if you would like to discuss how we can help you
to sell your property on Hydra.
We provide a list of
all the documents they must present to any prospective buyer's
lawyer, and give them help where they need it to obtain their papers
(in person visiting departments and offices or representing them at
their property if necessary), so that when the seller receives and
accepts an offer, the buyer can make a deposit and the buyer's
lawyer can proceed immediately with the contract of sale.
If the seller does not
have a lawyer, (which they must have by law now) we provide them
with the contact details of at least three so they can choose one.
We advertise the
seller's property for sale on our website www.SaronicNet.com which
maintains a Google page ranking of at least 5. On the website we
provide a summary page with a photo gallery (with one image of each
room) and floor by floor breakdown of the rooms and outside space.
We send the details of
the property for sale to all qualified potential buyers who are
registered with us on our "Early Alert Mailing List".
We advertise our
website with local posters, word of mouth, in local and
international press and by maintaining links with real estate
related organisations world wide, which by attracting visitors to
our website further advertises the seller's property.
For absent sellers who
do not have a property manager, we hold the keys to the property to
facilitate viewing.
We provide a full
communication service and handle all enquiries, make appointments to
view and accompany prospective buyers at all times when visiting the
property.
We provide a dated
list of all potential buyers who have enquired, been sent full
details and/or viewed the property.
We provide a
negotiation service between the buyer and seller.
Once an offer has been
accepted, we provide a full project management service,
communicating with all parties to ensure the smooth completion of
the sale. If necessary (if the contract signing is being done in
Athens and/or the seller is not based on the island) we will be on
hand to obtain final meter readings and collection of last minute
paperwork such as TAP declaration and ensure that they are delivered
to the acting Public Notary in a timely manner.
If the buyer of the
property was introduced by SaronicNet to the seller, for our service
to the seller(s) our fee is 2% + VAT of the selling price agreed and
is due on the day that the contract of sale is signed. |
For the Buyer:
We provide this
website www.SaronicNet.com as a shop window for all the properties
that we represent on our books. It is free of charge to view.
We are available by
email, by phone or in person at any reasonable time of day to answer
questions, forward additional information or to make arrangements
for viewing. You can
contact us here.
We obtain all of the paperwork necessary to
ensure that a potential sale is as delay free as possible.
We obtain
the objective value of each property so that we can give you a
realistic assessment of the additional purchase costs and if there
is outstanding paperwork that can't be resolved, we give you a
realistic estimate of how long it will take to process before the
sale can be completed.
As a further safeguard to avoid
disappointment or delay, we also conduct a preliminary search to
ensure that there are no outstanding liens (debts, mortgages, court
cases or fines) or boundary disputes that might impede the sales
process.
When you are on the
island and meet with us, we provide you with a folder containing ALL
the
full assessments we carry out for all properties on our books.
We arrange
obligation-free viewings and accompany buyers to any and/or all
properties to view and make repeat visits as necessary.
If the buyer does not
have a lawyer, (which they must have by law now) we provide them
with the contact details of at least three so they can choose one.
Normally the lawyer they select will recommend a Public Notary for
them (which the buyer must appoint and pay for).
We introduce the buyer
to all the banks, so that they can decide which one to open an
account with, and help them to obtain their Tax AFM.
We provide a
negotiation service between the buyer and seller.
Once an offer has been
made and
accepted, we provide a full project management service,
communicating with all parties to ensure the smooth completion of
the sale. If necessary we accompany the buyer to the tax office to
pay the purchase tax due.
Immediately after the
sale we accompany the buyer to the land registry office to register
the new title deed, to the utilities offices to change the
electricity, water and phone into their name and issue the buyer
with a copy of our
SaronicNet Insider's Guide to Real Estate on Hydra which is
exclusively for their use.
If the buyer of the
property was introduced by SaronicNet to the seller, for our service
to the buyer(s) our fee is 2% + VAT of the selling price agreed and
is due on the day that the contract of sale is signed. |
