As a seller, I searched for a real estate agent who doesn't charge an outrageous fee. Selling a house in this day and age isn’t rocket science in my opinion, while a regular real estate agent charges a premium. You do need some expertise from a real estate agent. Self-selling offers this, Benno is friendly and competent. Clear explanation, you can determine the asking price yourself and deviate from the real estate agent's advice. You write the advertisement text yourself and you conduct the viewings yourself. For the advertisement text you can use ChatGPT: tell it to be an enthusiastic writing style and which unique selling points should come forward. Doing the viewings yourself is also fun (you get some tips), you give everyone who wants to come a chance instead of the expensive real estate agent who imposes a viewing stop after X requests and excludes people at the front because the house will still sell... All in all, a good experience, of course not completely perfect but that's what you pay for (e.g., forgetting to activate Funda statistics, callback from the real estate agent is quick but sometimes takes a few hours, manual questionnaires, bidding not via Move, written explanation can sometimes be clearer, sales sign without a pole, etc.).
As the selling party, this is an ideal way of working. You can easily guide interested parties in the property yourself, which makes it possible to make flexible appointments, such as viewings on weekends or evenings when it suits them. This not only offers convenience for potential buyers but also ensures that you can better support them throughout the process. Because you have direct contact via their phone number and email address, you can communicate quickly and personally, making the process smoother. In short, arranging everything yourself gives you control over the sales process and offers flexibility for both you and the buyer. An efficient and personal approach that can increase sales opportunities.
Benno excellently helped us with selling our house. We ended up at Zelfverkopen after searching for an affordable real estate agent without commission. At Zelfverkopen, you do have the advantages of a skilled realtor who helps with determining the sales price, the property photos, and measuring. When there are questions, time is always taken to provide a clear explanation. You also receive a window sign. The only thing you really have to do yourself is writing the sales text (you will receive enough tips + examples on Funda for this) and (scheduling) the viewings. We found it very nice to be able to take the time during the viewings to convey our enthusiasm to the potential buyers. They then responded that they also experienced this as pleasant. It was also fun to do and contributes to 'saying goodbye' to the house where you have a bond with. The house was sold quickly, among other things thanks to the realistic photos, whereby Benno first reviewed the bids with us. Thanks to the viewings, we already had a 'feeling' about the bidders and were quick to decide. Both parties received the deed promptly. Overall, our experience is great and it is absolutely not missed that the entire process is managed 'remotely'. Nice to keep control yourself while help is always available. I can recommend everyone to offer their house through Zelfverkopen! Update 24-9-2024: after multiple requests, the status on Funda has still not been updated to sold after more than 5 months! We are now getting a 'quick money and through' feeling. Therefore, 1 star off.
Why engage another ‘ordinary’ real estate agent when you can save so much money? Clear communication from Benno and his team, everything arranged super quickly and easily. Can recommend it to everyone.
We recently sold our home through Zelfverkopen.nl and I can highly recommend it! Although we have worked with traditional real estate agents in our city before, we were never completely satisfied. Often we felt left out and lacked insight into the bids and interest for our house. With Zelfverkopen.nl, however, you are in control while the Zelfverkopen.nl agent provides expert support during the bidding process. It is very reassuring that every offer lands directly in your mailbox. By doing the viewings yourself, you also get a better feel for potential buyers, which significantly facilitates choosing between bids. In short, if you don't mind conducting the viewings yourself, Zelfverkopen.nl is definitely recommended! Moreover, your property is accurately measured using GPS technology and beautiful photos are taken. You have the freedom to come up with the text for Funda yourself, while the agents of Zelfverkopen.nl review it with you again, so that you get an attractive advertisement on Funda! Just do it!
Perfect advice, beautiful photos, pleasant collaboration and still low costs. Ideal! Warmly recommended. You do need to enjoy doing the viewings yourself. But we liked that very much!
Really unprofessional. Called multiple times, but no answer. You are also not called back. You are also not approached by the salesperson. It leans towards gloomy behavior and untrustworthy.
As a buyer of a home with experience with this agency, self-selling worked for the seller. Until the bidding process everything went as expected. After that you notice it turns around and everything suddenly runs very rough, until you've been to the notary everything is too much effort and every question is too much. It's simply about raking in commissions and not about customer friendliness; to some extent that will certainly be part of the concept but employee Benno is frankly unnecessarily rude in the hope that you’ll stop sending further emails. Quite an emotionally incontinent person who can turn into a toddler who doesn’t get his way. Maybe other employees are better raised, which could naturally be the case, but given the other reviews I fear the worst! (review edited due to incorrect employee name; it concerns Zelfverkopen.nl)
Poor communication, you have to chase everything. Limited knowledge of the market. Benno is absolutely not a likeable person. Not recommended to do business with.
Apparently, I once requested information in 2016 or 2017 and ultimately didn't do business. Last week we suddenly received an email that the photos of our house were ready. So we just received photos of other people’s homes, after which I called and emailed them stating that we did not appreciate this. Now we are being called again while we are not doing business with them. Not professional to simply send photos of a property in Geuzenveld…
As a seller, I can wholeheartedly recommend Benno, Charlotte and team. The communication was always smooth and professional. The advice for the selling price and sales strategy was based on the land registry and extensive experience. Thank you very much!
Our house sold via zelfverkopen.nl. Very satisfied with the service, advice and support during the sale. It was nice to be able to play a role yourself in the sale of our house where we lived with great pleasure. The process went very smoothly.
On the website of his other company, this man calls himself 'honest, skilled and reliable', which apparently is meant to conceal that this man is dishonest and unreliable. Stay away from this company, you will be used and played for the broker's own gain. Has multiple companies, integrity is nowhere to be found. You are barely or reluctantly addressed, as a person you are not so important to this office. Disregards NVM rules, just like rules of integrity and common decency.
DO NOT COOPERATE! - Very impolite behavior - Scoring quickly and cheaply - Only thinking about their own profit - Poor to no communication - Not fulfilling promises All in all, this service is below par. I want to warn everyone through this channel not to enter into an agreement with Zelfverkopen.nl
Selling your house yourself, I was quite skeptical, but how glad am I that I did it through Zelfverkopen. The process went smoothly and the support was particularly good. Within 4 days I had sold my property.
It's been a year already, but last year I sold my apartment through Zelfverkopen.nl. It went smoothly and when I had questions, Zelfverkopen was always accessible.
