Selling a house is never an easy decision, especially when it is intertwined with a new chapter of family life. This is what happened to Lara, 35, from Monza, who together with her husband decided to leave the two-room apartment where they had lived for eight years to finally find the right space for their one-year-old daughter.
Guided by the advice of a friend and the idea of an innovative approach to the real estate market, Lara chose Casavo for sell a house quickly, transparently and without cost surprises. In this interview he tells us step by step how his experience unfolded: from the immediate online evaluation, to the visits organized with flexibility, up to the arrival of two full-price proposals in a single day.
Let's start with you: tell us who you are?
I'm Lara, I'm 35 years old and I live in Monza. In my life I deal with marketing and communication.
If you could have one superpower in life, what would it be?
It would be to read the mind of my 1-year-old daughter.
Why did you decide to sell your house?
The two-room apartment where we currently live has become too small. When my husband and I bought it, about eight years ago, there were only two of us living busy lives, always away from home. Then our little girl came, and suddenly everything became even smaller! We definitely needed more space. We are buying a four-room apartment under construction, also in Monza.
Why Casavo?
A friend recommended it to me, who sold his apartment in Milan in a short time. Di Casavo, I was attracted by their technological approach and the fixed sales commissions at 1%. An important aspect to have everything under control in terms of costs. In real estate, as we know, surprises are always around the corner.
Step by step: can you tell us how the sale went with Casavo?
After obtaining a estimate the value of my house on the Casavo website, I was contacted to schedule a first appointment with Stefano, the agent who followed me throughout the process. We discussed together various aspects related to the sale and understood how to value it with a correct sales price, that would also include custom-made furniture inside the apartment. I found Stefano to be scrupulous in this work. Once the sale price was defined, the photos of the apartment were taken and in a couple of days the announcement was published online. Having very busy days, Stefano came to meet us in organizing Saturday's visits. One day was enough to receive two full-price offers. With Stefano, we therefore made some considerations about which of these to accept, also given our need to be flexible on the date of the draft.
How would you describe your experience with Casavo?
My experience has been very positive. I found a team of very professional and attentive people. The communication was simple and immediate. As for the purchase offer, we couldn't ask for better.
What advice would you give to someone who wants to sell a house?
Council of Study the local real estate market, comparing the sales prices of similar homes for sale in surrounding areas. In addition, I recommend relying on experienced professionals. It might be tempting to think about selling a house without an agency, and thus save on commissions. In reality, the work of preparation, negotiation and management is really important and generally irreconcilable with everyday life.
What do you dream for the future?
To move into our new home as soon as possible, which I can't wait to customize. Color palettes are a great passion of mine!
