We provide a free valuation based on real market data, the property's location and specific characteristics, and sales history in the same area. Our goal is to help you set the right price, ensuring an efficient sale while maintaining the value of your asset.

We will support you throughout the entire process, from the initial valuation to the completion of the sale. We determine the asking price, recommend improvements, create marketing materials and promote the property through the most appropriate channels. We manage contacts and viewings, and negotiate with the right buyers. We handle the CPCV (Contract for the Sale of Property) and coordinate the legal documentation, providing complete transparency, professionalism and security throughout.

Yes. We provide full support throughout the process, including liaising directly with the bank to obtain the mortgage release statement, which confirms the outstanding balance to be repaid. On the day of completion, this amount is settled directly with the bank using the relevant portion of the sale proceeds. Our team manages every stage of the process in coordination with the financial institutions of both the seller and the buyer, ensuring a seamless and secure transaction.
The mortgage is automatically released upon completion of the sale.

We assist with collecting, verifying, and organizing all the necessary documentation, ensuring the entire process runs in full legal compliance. To begin the sale, you will need:
— Citizen Card of the owners;
— Updated property tax register (Caderneta Predial);
— Permanent Land Registry Certificate;
— Occupancy license;
— Energy certificate (if you don’t have one, we will handle its issuance);
— Property floor plan (when applicable);
— Deed of purchase and sale.

We gather and review all documents with you to ensure everything is in order before we promote your property.

The time taken to sell a property varies depending on factors such as location, pricing and condition. At The Magnolia Properties, we accelerate results by combining a targeted marketing strategy with proactive management.
Throughout the process, we provide regular market feedback and transparent advice on potential adjustments that could improve your property’s performance.

Absolutely! Many of our clients prefer to stay in their homes while their property is on the market. We handle all viewings discreetly and respectfully, and we are flexible about your schedule.
Our team can offer you personalised advice on how to present your property to its best advantage, enhancing its appeal without ever compromising your comfort or your family’s daily routine.

In addition to our commission, which is payable only upon a successful sale, you may incur the following costs:
- The cost of issuing an Energy Performance Certificate, if you don’t already have one.
- Mortgage release fees, if you have an active loan.
- Capital gains tax, should you make a profit from the sale.

All other transaction-related costs, such as deed fees and transfer taxes, are usually covered by the buyer. Our team provides clear guidance throughout and can help you estimate any applicable expenses in advance, ensuring full transparency and peace of mind.

Not always. We carefully evaluate your property’s condition and only recommend improvements that will genuinely add value. Often, simple touches such as neutral tones, thoughtful organisation or a thorough refresh can make a big difference.
To create an even more captivating presentation, we also offer a home staging service designed to reveal your home's true potential and timeless charm.

It means gaining time, peace of mind and greater value. At The Magnolia Properties, we oversee every aspect of the process, from the legal and technical details to marketing and negotiation, to ensure a seamless experience and maximum exposure for your property.
Thanks to our expertise and trusted network, we can help you achieve a faster sale at the best possible price. Meanwhile, you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having dedicated professionals representing your best interests at every step.

A 5% commission is standard practice in the market as it allows you to collaborate with other consultants and agencies, greatly increasing your property's visibility and reach. When paired with an exclusivity agreement, this translates into a full commitment from your agent, a bespoke marketing strategy and a more effective, focused sales process.

Contrary to popular belief, lower commissions often reduce exposure. Agencies operating on smaller margins tend to avoid property-sharing agreements, resulting in fewer viewings, less visibility and, ultimately, fewer opportunities to sell.
Opting for a fair commission and an exclusive partnership means investing in your property’s true value and ensuring a process that is prioritised, professional and proven.

Opting for an exclusive agreement centralises communication, strengthens commitment and ensures a seamless, fully professional sales process.
By avoiding duplicate listings, inconsistent messaging and market confusion, exclusivity presents your property in a clear, coherent and authoritative manner.
Backed by a clear strategy and dedicated support, exclusivity transforms the selling process into a focused, efficient, results-driven experience where success speaks for itself.
