Valuing your property: a key stage in the process

Here at BARNES, valuing your property is a key step in getting it on the market.

It is first and foremost about a meeting of minds, and we make listening to our clients our top priority. Whether you’re looking to sell or rent, or even move to another region, city or country, we want to understand exactly what you have in mind.

Choosing a BARNES consultant

Real estate is a human experience. So choosing your consultant means choosing the person who will represent you to potential buyers. The person who will champion your property’s features during the negotiation phase. There are many reasons for parting with a property — investment, marriage, birth, even divorce or inheritance. At BARNES, our consultants are selected and recruited for their operational skills, as well as their professional and interpersonal backgrounds. After all, it’s not just your property plans that we’re supporting you in but your life plans, too. 

BARNES is represented by some 1,000 consultants in France and internationally. Wherever they are based and whatever their personality, our consultants are trained to perform a thorough assessment of your property taking current market trends into account. Following an initial meeting, your BARNES consultant will provide you with a written, well-argued valuation.

Marketing by BARNES

On the strength of its global offering, BARNES prepares the sales mandate for signing and ensures that the marketing file and its constituent documents are all in order. Our consultants carefully select viewing requests, always prioritising quality over quantity. Thanks to the brand’s presence in 60 destinations across 20 countries, your property will benefit from exceptional exposure and be presented to both our French and international clients. 

Whether digital or print-based, the marketing strategy we adopt will be designed with you in mind and tailored to your requirements. The excellence you would expect of BARNES also extends to our dedicated integrated communications service. We offer a wide range of tailored solutions to help promote your property (BARNES Magazine, private viewings, videos, virtual tours, etc.).

Completing the transaction

Presenting you with a buyer’s offer is always a special moment. At this stage in the marketing of your property, our BARNES expertise is crucial. Your consultant will assess the validity of each offer received by running a thorough check of the potential buyer’s financial profile. BARNES also works with its partners to help buyers find the right finance option for them with one goal in mind: optimising the time it takes to obtain a loan and streamlining the transaction.

The consultant you meet with on day one will remain your main point of contact throughout the process. They will always be on hand to support and advise you in bringing your future plans to fruition.
