Property Sales

The sale of a home is often an emotional roller-coaster ride. We at Joubert Realty realize this and want nothing more than to support you during this process. Allow us to put our experience, professionalism and enthusiasm to work for you.

The success of a real estate company is, no doubt, linked to the time needed to find a buyer and complete the sale. It is imperative to price your property as realistically as possible according to the prevailing market conditions. If it is priced to high and stays on the market for too long, it could create the erroneous impression that there is something wrong with the property. In such a scenario even the realistic price of the property may, over the course of time, not elicit the desired response.

The process of selling your property begins with a no strings attached conversation about and a careful inspection of your property. We will, once the minimum price and the asking price have been determined, put together package tailored to meet your needs.

At Joubert Realty our goal is to reach as many potential buyers as possible. Our approach includes, but is not limited to, the following:

• Placement of “for sale” signs;

• Putting together a color brochure with description, various photographs and floor plan(s);

• Placement of your property on our website www.joubertrealty.com;

• Mailings to those clients from our ample client database searching for a property;

• Advertising the property in the local papers and the monthly real estate publication “De Makelaar”.

Organizing an, eventual, Open House also belongs to the realm of possibilities.

We will, of course, coordinate and show the property. Once an offer is made we will negotiate, in close consultation with you, on your behalf. Once a deal has been reached we will draw up the necessary papers and forward these to the notary of the buyer’s choice. The agreed upon price and delivery framework are amongst the many things laid out in the aforementioned papers. We will also continue to monitor the process up to the signing of the official documents when the property changes from owner.

We can also represent your interests if you are in the market looking for your dream home or commercial property. If you are in such a position you will undoubtedly have many questions and, perhaps, even feelings of uncertainty. How do I know what is available? What is the structural condition of the property I am interested in? Is the asking price realistic for what is being offered?

Buying a house or other property is not (usually) something you do on a whim. In most cases it represents an important financial decision which can have far-reaching consequences. Joubert Realty specializes in bringing people together from both sides of the market; it is, after all, what we do on a daily basis! As your real estate agent we protect and fight for your specific interests and requirements. You can trust our advice no matter if you are a buyer or a seller.

If you are a buyer, Joubert Realty can advise you based on, but not limited to, the following:

• We will analyze your wishes and/or desires;

• We will accompany you and guide you during an inspection of a property;

• We will advise you about the asking price;

• Once you have made a choice we will negotiate on your behalf;

• Once a deal has been reached we will coordinate and monitor the entire process to conclusion when the official documentation is finally signed.

Property Rentals

Besides the buying or selling of real estate, Joubert Realty also can meet your needs when it comes to rental properties.

Do you have a property for lease? We can help you find a tenant and will negotiate the rental agreement and draw up the necessary paperwork for you.

We will also advertise and represent your property in the same manner as with properties that are for sale.

Project Management

Whether you live here or abroad, we can also manage your property for you. Just drop in and we will be glad to answer whatever questions you may have!

As your property management firm we are your partner in maximizing the return on investment of the property. As such, we act in the best interests of the owner to maintain the property, keep it occupied with tenants and collect rents. Many real estate professionals have looked into property management and changed their minds when the scope of the management tasks and recordkeeping are fully understood. It is definitely a niche for the more detailed and responsive in the profession.

Joubert Realty has the experience, knowledge and understanding of operating expenses and budgeting to manage your property. We will thoroughly inspect each property and use this information, balanced by the current governing market conditions, to determine appropriate rental rates. We will also, if needed, make recommendations for marketing and advertising strategies in order to maximize occupancy and rental rates. The property will be shown and prospective tenants will be screened.

Once tenants have moved in, we will respond to their requests, with approval of the property owner, monitor their activities as regards the lease requirements, collect rent in a timely manner and carry out the unwelcome task of eviction for violations or non-payment and will even initiate legal proceedings against the tenants on behalf of and in accordance with the owner’s requests.

We also maintain relationships with numerous contractors and repair companies, and monitor the quality of all repairs and maintenance. This ties in with both the financial as well as the occupancy management aspects because it is important for tenant retention to have well- maintained properties.
