Selling privately or with an estate agent? Sven Schwarzat gives tips for real estate sellers

Selling a property is a major decision that requires strategic thinking and well-founded decisions. One of the key questions that arises is: should you sell privately or use the services of an estate agent? Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends heavily on the individual needs of the seller. Sven Schwarzat, Managing Director of Schwarzat Capital GmbH, shares valuable insights from his many years of experience in the real estate industry.

The private sale

When selling a property privately, the seller takes on all the tasks themselves: from pricing and marketing to negotiating and concluding the purchase contract. A clear advantage of this approach is the cost savings, as there is no estate agent's commission. This can amount to a considerable sum, especially for high-priced properties.

However, selling privately requires a lot of time and expertise. In Leipzig, for example, there are hardly any local sellers, as most owners are based elsewhere. You need to know the market inside out in order to set the right asking price. You also need negotiating skills and a good understanding of legal and administrative aspects. According to Sven Schwarzat, this can quickly become overwhelming for inexperienced sellers. "Many underestimate the effort and risks involved in a private sale," explains the expert.

Selling with an estate agent

A real estate agent can take over the entire sales process. This includes valuing the property, preparing a professional exposé, organizing viewings and conducting price negotiations. Estate agents have a broad network and can often find suitable buyers more quickly.

Schwarzat Capital GmbH emphasizes that choosing a competent estate agent is crucial. An experienced estate agent knows the local market conditions and can achieve the best possible price. Sven Schwarzat recommends paying attention to quality features such as specialist knowledge, transparency and good communication. "A good estate agent is not just an intermediary, but also an advisor who makes the sales process efficient and secure," says Schwarzat.

Weigh up the costs and benefits

The broker's commission is often a sticking point. In Germany, it is usually between 3 and 7 percent of the sales price. For many sellers, this is a reason to prefer a private sale. However, Sven Schwarzat points out that the savings made by not using an estate agent are often offset by a lower sales price or a longer sales process.

Schwarzat Capital GmbH has proven in numerous projects in Leipzig that a strategic sales approach with an experienced estate agent can be more economical in the long term. Working with a professional is particularly worthwhile for complex properties or challenging market conditions.

Conclusion: What is the best choice?

The decision between private sale and estate agent depends on several factors: your own time and expertise, the complexity of the property and your personal priorities. Sven Schwarzat and Schwarzat Capital GmbH advise you to inform yourself well in advance and realistically assess your own options.

An estate agent can make the process considerably easier and increase the success of the sale, whereas a private sale requires more personal responsibility and commitment. Ultimately, the choice should be aimed at achieving the best possible price with minimal risk. As Sven Schwarzat concludes: "An informed decision is the first step to a successful property sale."
