Sell your property
for the best price

A correctly priced property in Herentals or Zandhoven typically sells within 45 to 90 days. At De Steenboer, we achieve a sale within that timeframe for 81% of our properties, thanks to targeted marketing and local market expertise. Selling time depends on asking price, property condition, season, and presentation. Spring and autumn are traditionally the strongest periods, but with the current limited supply in the Kempen region, properties sell quickly year-round. Professional photography and correct pricing are the most important factors for a fast sale.

Agent commission in the Herentals and Zandhoven area averages 2% to 3% of the sale price, plus 21% VAT. For a property worth €350,000, this amounts to €7,000 to €10,500 plus VAT. At De Steenboer, we charge a transparent commission that includes professional photography, online marketing, and full legal guidance up to the notary. Drone footage is available as an optional, paid add-on. We work on a 'no cure, no pay' basis: you only pay upon successful sale. Compare not just on price, but also on service, marketing approach, and sales results.

In Flanders, you need at least four mandatory documents: an EPC certificate (€150–€250), a soil certificate via OVAM (€67), an electrical inspection report (€150–€200 if older than 25 years), and the post-intervention file. Since 2022, an asbestos certificate is also mandatory for homes built before 2001. Optional but recommended are urban planning information and a cadastral extract. Total certificate costs run €400–€1,000. At De Steenboer, we help you gather all documents to ensure your sales file is fully in order.

Selling through an agent typically yields 5 to 10% more than private sales, even after deducting commission. An agent offers professional photography, broad marketing across all property portals, legal guidance, and negotiation expertise. With private sales, you save the commission but miss market knowledge, professional presentation, and face more legal risks. Especially for complex cases — such as post-inheritance sales, divorce, or building code violations — professional guidance is strongly recommended. We guide you from valuation to signing at the notary.

Focus on first impressions: declutter, depersonalize, and clean thoroughly. Fix minor issues like loose door handles or leaking taps, freshen walls with neutral colors, and maintain the garden and facade. Avoid major renovations just before selling — cosmetic improvements yield 150–200% return, while a new kitchen or bathroom only recovers 50–70% of the investment. A tidy, bright, and fresh home sells faster and for a higher price. At De Steenboer, we give you personal advice on which improvements will yield the most in your situation.
