Procuring an apartment directly from the owner in Chisinau can be a very difficult process. Whether you are looking for a home in a new or secondary block of flats, as a buyer you might think that buying a property directly from the owner will cost you less and the process will be simple. But is it so? Let's analyze.
Buying a home is a process that involves a lot of responsibility. You need to make sure that the process will be fair and transparent from a financial and legal point of view.
The essential questions you should ask yourself before going ahead are: : “Do I know all the steps of a transaction? Do I know how to make sure everything goes well and I won't later regret the decision I made? Can the owner know all the details so that the sale purchase transaction can be concluded successfully?".
Unfortunately, in the Republic of Moldova, there is no culture of turning to a specialist when we have a problem to solve, as normally happens in Europe or the USA. Moldovans are good at everything, and often end up facing unpredictable situations and undesirable results.
The idea is that when you want to build a house you turn to an architect or builder. If you want to treat an illness, you definitely go to a doctor, and if you want to solve a legal problem, you call on the services of a lawyer or jurist.
But when we want to buy/sell an apartment or a house, why not turn to those who know best how to do this? Yes I know, unfortunately there are wolves in sheep's clothing in this field, just like in many other fields. People because of which real estate agents do not have a very good reputation, and in some cases they even arouse antipathy.
The truth is that not everyone is the same. There are also professionals who do their job honestly and put their clients' interests before their own - these are the real estate professionals who value their reputation and only provide quality services.
Is it better to buy directly from the owner or use a real estate specialist?
Yes, you can certainly buy directly from the owner, but it is important to check all the details thoroughly so that you make the right decision in the end.
At the same time, I advise you to turn to a professional real estate specialist who can guide you through the entire process of selling and buying a real estate through:
- Definition of real needs with the help of qualification questions (through which you will know exactly the type of apartment / house that suits you)
- Verification of financial possibilities (cash payment or accessing a mortgage loan)
- Viewing properties that meet your criteria / needs (saving time and nerves)
- Property inspection (will show you both the pros and cons of the property so you can make the best decision)
- Negotiating the best price
- Preparation of property reservation documents (reservation contract or notarial receipt as the case may be)
- Preparation of documents for the transaction (ASP - Public Services Agency)
- Establishing all the details (date of the transaction, release of the building, inventory of the goods remaining in the apartment, lack of debts for communal services, etc.)
- Drawing up the sales contract at the notary and registering it at the ASP
As a buyer, you will benefit from quality services and pay absolutely nothing for the services provided. Buyers benefit from ZERO purchase commission with a professionally handled buying and selling process, so both parties involved win.
