Traditional process or sale in 15 days? Discover the Swifthome difference

Real estate sale

Two methods. Two experiences. Two realities.

Selling a property often marks an important turning point in life — a step often synonim of exciting projects, but also one associated with delays and uncertainty.

Many homeowners assume a sale will close quickly in a dynamic market like French-speaking Switzerland. Yet the reality of the traditional house-selling process is often quite different.

The traditional Process: A long and troublesome journey

In a conventional property sale, the owner typically has to follow a time-consuming path:
     1. Searching for a real estate agent
     2. Property valuation
     3. Signing a brokerage mandate
     4. Professional photo shoot
     5. Publishing listings (property portals, social media, advertising)
     6. Organizing viewings
     7. Receiving purchase offers
     8. Discussions and negotiations
     9. Waiting for the buyer’s bank approval
     10. Setting the transaction date
     11. Signing at the notary’s office

Each step can take considerable time. Even when a buyer is found, nothing guarantees the transaction: financing can be refused by the bank, the offer can be withdawn, last minute price renegotiations take place… On average, a traditional sale can take 6 to 12 months from listing to receiving the funds.
