Why Choosing the Right Agent Changes Everything

A decisive choice for your wealth

 

Selling a house or an apartment in Switzerland is no trivial step. For many homeowners, it is one of the most important financial transactions of their lives. Yet many underestimate the impact of choosing the right real estate agent – or believe they can sell on their own and save agency fees.

In reality, choosing the wrong agent – or trying to go solo – can be very costly: wasted time, a reduced selling price, legal complications… In this article, we explain why Immoprice is not just another service and how we help you sell quickly, at the best price, and with peace of mind.

 

Selling on your own: a false good idea

 

Some homeowners think: “Why pay an agent when I can sell myself?”
On paper, this may sound appealing. In practice, the risks are numerous.

1. Incorrect price estimate

Too high → the property stagnates on the market, buyers turn away, and after months the price must be reduced – often well below its real value.
Too low → the property sells quickly, but you lose tens of thousands of francs.

2. Limited visibility

Agents have networks, databases, and marketing tools. As a private seller, you are limited to property portals. Less visibility = fewer buyers = weaker negotiation power.

3. Administrative and legal complexity

Sales contracts, energy certificates, capital gains tax… Selling a property is a complex legal process. Without guidance, mistakes are common and can be costly.

4. Stress and lack of credibility

Buyers prefer negotiating with professionals. A homeowner selling alone is perceived as less reliable – which weakens the negotiation.

👉 Result: selling alone is rarely the best option. In fact, in Switzerland 88% of properties are sold by professionals, and only 12% by private individuals (according to UBS).

 

A bad agent: direct consequences on your selling price

 

Choosing an agent is essential. But you must choose the right one – and that’s where many homeowners go wrong.

1. The overpricing trap

To win a mandate, some agents promise an unrealistically high price. This flatters the seller, but the property stays online for months and is eventually sold below value.

2. Lack of experience

An inexperienced or inactive agent = few visits, little marketing, no sales strategy. Result: long delays and a lower price than expected.

3. Unjustified commissions

Not all commissions are equal. Some agents charge high fees without real added value. Others may appear cheap, but this can come at the expense of the sale price. You might save a few thousand francs on commission but lose tens of thousands on the sale price – a bad deal.

👉 A poor agent can waste your time, money, and energy.
