The sales process

How we do it, step by step.

There's a lot to think about when selling. Here are all 18 steps – from the first inspection until the settlement is registered.

Preparation

7 steps

1
Inspection and valuation
Your agent visits, walks through the home with you, explains the sales process, gives you a view of today's market and a valuation of the property. Have any earlier sales documents ready.
2
Engagement agreement
You get an offer, a proposed marketing plan and a full overview of costs for outlays, surveyor etc. We go through the agreement carefully with you – there is no small print – and it can be signed electronically.
3
Planning the sale
Your agent draws up a timeline with you. One of the first things is booking the photographer and surveyor – and you get advice on how to prepare.
4
Statutory information
Your agent collects and checks information from the municipality, the owners' association, the managing agent, the Norwegian Mapping Authority and others – with extra checks when needed.
5
Surveyor, stylist and photographer
Set aside plenty of time. Before the surveyor's visit you fill in the seller's self-declaration about what you know of the property.
6
Energy certificate
The home must have an energy certificate before sale. It's done digitally, and your agent helps you through it.
7
Marketing plan and materials
Your agent creates the marketing plan, prospectus and ads for your home. You approve everything before it's published.

Listing on Finn.no and more
We use Finn.no, the new marketplace hjem.no and our own website – with viewing times on every channel.
9
Digital advertising
Ads on the media platforms in your marketing plan, through agreements with the large media houses.
10
Social media
Share the Finn ad with friends and family – it's free and spreads well. Your agent also suggests paid ads targeted by area and age.
11
Print
Your agent considers whether the home should also be advertised in print, and how much. Print is tailored.
12
Viewing
At Proffmegleren we don't use viewing assistants. Your own agent always holds the open viewings.

13
Following up interested buyers
This is where experience really shows: who are serious bidders, and what do they need to know?
14
Bidding and sale
Your agent runs the bidding – no assistants. It's documented in writing, bidders are identified, and you're updated continuously. On acceptance, the home is sold.
15
Contract meeting
Letters of acceptance to both parties, a draft contract with all appendices – then review and signing together.
16
Handover
Once the purchase price is in the agent's client account, the parties meet and complete a digital handover protocol.
17
Settlement and registration
The deed is registered to the buyer, mortgage documents are registered, and the settlement is paid out. Both parties receive a settlement statement.
18
Evaluation and archive
A short customer survey, the assignment is archived – and you're welcome back.
