4 Steps to Sell Your Property

1. Initial Meeting and Property Assessment

The journey begins with an informative meeting where we:

  • Review Essential Documentation: Ensure your property is debt-free, all taxes are paid, and there are no legal obstacles to a property transaction.
  • Set a Competitive Selling Price: Our valuation service analyzes current market trends to establish a realistic and attractive sale price for the Spanish property market.
  • Enhance Marketability: Offer suggestions on finishing touches like repainting or maintenance to increase your property’s appeal to international buyers.
  • Non-Resident Sellers: We will guide non-resident sellers through the entire process, explaining key steps such as obtaining necessary documents, setting a competitive price, and navigating tax obligations like the 3% withholding tax (capital gains tax).

With these steps, we position your property for a successful sale in the competitive real estate market and prepare a smooth selling process.

After the initial assessment, we proceed with:

  • Real Estate Contract: Formalize our partnership by signing a contract that outlines our services and commitments provided by Sunny Casas real estate agency.
