The goal being to allow a person in Beijing enough information in relation to the story of your home, that they would be able to make the purchase without ever visiting the property. The goal is to save you TIME, and give you OPTIONS.
An overpriced home stays on the market for years, an underpriced home is sold in a few days. Auctions are the best way to DETERMINE VALUE.
The Costa Brava property market is truly UNiQUE. There are homes that could never be built again, properties in locations so prime that no value could be given to them. An private auction style purchasing platform is the only way to provide a real purchase price to such Unique properties
How to achieve that is to provide the relevant information regarding the basic details of your home:
- Catastral, and all relevant details
- Photo Presentation of the home and the area
- 3D scan of the home and the area
- Escritura of the home, and all relevant documentation to it. (eg.. architectural diagrams, construction projects, tasaciones)
Apart from that, a short video of you, the owner, explaining your intentions and reasons to sell. By being transparent and proving your reasons, you provide a person with the intent to buy the confidence to make the next step.
This information is ONLY available to those that have made a deposit in the platform, thus ensuring that if their intent to purchase is true they are putting up their part.
In this way we hope to provide buyers and sellers a way to determine the value of a home in the Costa Brava in real time. Allowing buyers to make informed offers, and sellers a way to move on as quickly as possible with a real market price.
HOW TO BID
Prospective buyers have to make a deposit that is held by UNiQUE Costa Brava, and allows them to bid on homes. Once a bid is accepted by a homeowner, this deposit is held as guarantees while the purchase is finalized. If both parties come to an agreement, the sale proceeds at the price offered by the buyer, and only the deposit is held by UNiQUE as commissions. Should the sale fall through due to the seller's fault, this deposit is returned to the buyer, or should the sale fail due to reasons of the buyer the deposit is kept by the seller.
There are no time limits to these auctions, and a seller may not accept every bid made. If an offer is not accepted within 1 week, the bid is voided. The bid is public, so anyone registered on the site can see what has been offered and can bid to beat it, and a seller has the right to choose or lose any bid. A buyer can at any time remove their deposit if no bids are pending.
A bird in the hand is worth 100 flying, and the value of anything is what you are willing to pay for it.
