6. Tailor the Listing to Your Target Group

Address the listing specifically to the prospective tenants or buyers who are most likely to be interested in your property

• Selling
  There is no single “right way” to determine a selling price, nor is there a formula that works in every situation. In addition to the property’s location, condition, features and current use, the reason for the sale – such as an inheritance or divorce – should also be considered.You can obtain an initial estimate using ImmoScout24’s free property valuation calculator. The more information you provide, the more precisely the property’s value can be calculated.The exact selling price should ideally be determined by a local real estate agent.
• Renting Out
  The appropriate rent depends on the size and features of the apartment, the location and condition of the building, the local rent index and the amount of the additional costs.You can receive an estimate of an appropriate rental price, along with many other useful figures relating to your property, by adding your property free of charge to the “MeineImmos” area.

To find the right tenants, it is important to address the appropriate target group. Always check important criteria such as income and ability to pay.These factors are particularly easy to review for SuchenPlus members who have provided a complete application dossier.

Tip: If you expect to receive a large number of enquiries, ImmoScout24’s applicant management tool can help. It allows you to manage enquiries centrally, filter and sort prospective tenants, archive messages and coordinate viewings directly through the messenger.

You can manage your listing at any time from the “Meins” section of your customer account.To make changes, select the relevant listing by clicking its title and open it in the ExposéManager editing mode.

Selling a property involves several tasks, including determining the price, creating a property brochure, arranging viewings and negotiating with prospective buyers. It also involves handling the contract and completing the property handover, including a handover report.If you feel confident completing these tasks, there is nothing to prevent you from selling the property privately.Real estate agents take some of this work off your hands and provide professional expertise. A professional will also generally achieve a higher selling price, meaning that appointing an agent can be a worthwhile investment.We will be happy to recommend suitable real estate agents in your area free of charge and with no obligation.
