How a Service with a Real Estate Personal Shopper Works

  1. Initial consultation: Begin by scheduling an initial consultation. During this meeting, you will discuss your property needs, preferences, budget, and any specific requirements you may have. This consultation allows us to understand your goals and tailor our services accordingly.

  2. Property search and selection: Based on the information gathered during the consultation, we will conduct a comprehensive search for properties that align with your criteria. We will utilize our expertise, market knowledge, and network to identify suitable options, including both listed and off-market properties.

  3. Property viewings: Once potential properties are identified, the personal shopper will arrange viewings at your convenience. We  will accompany you to the property viewings, providing insights, answering your questions, and offering professional guidance throughout the process. If you are unable to attend viewings, we can assist by conducting the viewings on your behalf, record a video for you, or arrange a video call to bring you up to speed.

  4. Negotiation and offer: When you find a property that meets your requirements, the personal shopper will assist you in formulating a competitive offer. We will secure favorable terms and conditions on your behalf. Our goal is to achieve the best possible outcome for you as the buyer.

This may include coordinate and conducting property inspections, coordinating with lawyers or notaries, and ensuring that all necessary paperwork is properly prepared and executed.

  6. Additional services (optional): If desired, the personal shopper can assist you with additional services such as property reform, interior design consultations, maintenance, management arrangements. These services can be tailored to your specific needs and preferences, enhancing the overall experience and ensuring a seamless transition into your new property.

  7. Closing and post-purchase support: Once all the necessary steps are completed, the personal shopper will facilitate the closing of the transaction. We will ensure that the transfer of ownership is smooth and assist with any post-purchase requirements or support you may need.
