maude Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 hi folks!we need a fairly sensible valuation of our house here in france.Had 3 agencies to look-but about as much use as double pneumonia!Their figures varied by over 50% which is complete rubbish.I have heard that Notaires are the ones to ask for a valuation.Has anyone gone down this route,or I might as well dream up a figure and stick out for it.The agents all said that it was difficult to sell older houses so bottom prices,and yet when visiting to purchas all of a sudden the prices skyrocket!.I know business is business but my last 5 years experience with agents and their apparent lack of decent marketing skills and very poor photography- which starts getting people interested in the firstplace,leaves me reaching for the red stuff!!!!Or even Hashish!Any experiences welcome.thanks Maude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogo Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 Hi Maude.We had a similar problem,valuations between €120k and €165k,but we found our 'average'(ish!) and then placed the property on web sites privately,as well as agents.We had about 25 viewings,to about 2 with the agents,and we sold privately within 6 months,not a bad time for France.As you say,marketing skills?????[8-)].One agent was asked several weeks ago to drop the price by €10k,but it is still up for the original price on their web site.Another agent has NEVER contacted us for any reason,good bad,of price check.
