Save Money Selling Your Overseas Property with Beat-The-Agent

Subscribing to our Property For Sale by Owner service can ultimately save you a lot of money in estate agents fees. Estate agency commissions are usually added to the price of the property when it’s sold by a local estate agent. You can deduct these costs from your selling price to make your property more attractive to buyers; especially for people who are looking to buy an overseas investment property. See below examples of how much money you can save by selling your property abroad privately through Beat-The-Agent.com

People who are looking to buy a holiday home or an investment property abroad will know that they too will be saving money by buying a property directly from the owner. Beat-The-Agent.com makes it very easy for prospective buyers to interact with property sellers by contacting them directly; as each property listing has this facility.

Your For Sale By Owner Webpage

With Beat The Agent, you get your own webpage to advertise your overseas property on the internet and also in other media. In your account screen, you will be able to copy your personal web address and share this with friends, and you an also post it on other websites or even in local advertisements.

Targeted Online Advertising for Your Property

All of the money we spend on advertising is targeted to ensure that your property gets maximum exposure and that suitable buyers are found. This advertising is global, so you can expect to receive enquiries from local sources, regardless of where your property is located. We also work with large investment companies, tour operators and property funds. We are able to reach millions of potential buyers through on-line, local, national and international advertising.

Additional Online Services

Most of the other overseas property websites that offer services from private individuals (property owners) will also allow estate agents to advertise their properties for sale. This usually means that their websites are flooded with adverts which are either duplicates, dated, generic, incorrectly priced or inaccurate. This is monotonous for the buyer, and sellers sometimes find their property listing on page 426 of 1,198 and are rarely seen.

Beat The Agent only works with the overseas property owners direct and the property listings are rotated randomly, therefore giving no unfair advantage to people listing their property at €0 to appear on the front page of other websites. This also rules out the possibility of duplicates. We do not give a discount for numerous listings.

Subscription Service

The subscription service ensures that the information about your property for sale is current and correct. Many property buyers and investment fund managers are put off enquiring about dated listings as they assume that the property has been sold for some time. Potential buyers do not like dealing with estate agents as they feel that by dealing directly with the owner, they will get a more honest and accurate response.

A subscription model tells the potential buyer that the information is accurate, the price of your property for sale is genuine, and that the property abroad is available and that the listing is up-to-date.

Under Offer / Sold

This feature enables the property seller to keep or remove their contact details from their advert while their property is under-offer, therefore, you can avoid receiving new offers that may not interest you. However, you are in full control of your overseas property web page.

For the buyer, while your contact details are shown, they know that you are keen to be contacted. Beat The Agent brings together motivated overseas property buyers and motivated sellers at the right time.

Overseas Property Selling Guide

When you subscribe to Beat The Agent to list your property abroad for sale, you will also receive a selling guide specific to the country you are selling your property in. For example A Guide To Selling Property In Spain, A Guide To Selling Property In Bulgaria, A Guide To Selling Property In Cyprus, etc. These useful country guides are written by one of the leading international property law firms in the world and has helpful tips and a detailed rundown of what you will need to do in order to sell private property abroad. You can also contact them for further advice and they are also ready to represent you in transferring the ownership of property abroad and collecting funds when you sell your overseas property.
