Selling Consultation
The agent will work with the seller to understand the property and determine the best strategy to achieve the sale. Japan Hana will share our deep knowledge of the market and local area. We recognise that each seller’s requirements are different and we will work closely with you to meet your specific needs.
Due Diligence and Listing Price Proposal
We will conduct an assessment of your property and use our deep knowledge of market conditions and transactions to determine the right valuation for your property.
Brokerage Agreement
An agency agreement will be signed to entrust the agent with the sale of the property. Remaining documentation on the property will be received by the agent.
Application and Price Negotiation
Once a buyer is found, the buyer will send a Letter of Intent showing their interest to purchase at a certain price, and negotiations on terms will begin.
Marketing
After signing the brokerage agreement, Japan Hana will promote the property as widely and as effectively as possible, in a way that fits the characteristics of the property. We will target our database of customers, partners and other resources, and will liaise regularly with the seller on the progress.
Contract Signing and Receiving Down Payment
Once the terms have been agreed, the agent will work with the parties to conclude a sales contract. We will coordinate the price, method of payment and time of completion amongst others, and coordinate the signing of the contract. A down payment will be received by the seller.
