SELL YOUR PROPERTY
THE SMARTEST CHOICE FOR HOME SELLERS
With years of experience in real estate, we understand that your property is unique, and we’re here to provide a tailored strategy to achieve a successful sale on the Costa del Sol. By choosing ASBO Estates, you benefit from expert guidance at every stage, ensuring you understand all the factors that can add value to your property and enjoy a smooth, successful transaction.
PRE-LISTING PREPARATION
Before we list your property with ASBO Estates, we prepare a collaboration agreement and provide clear instructions on the information we need to market your property effectively. We also guide you through all costs involved in the sale, including taxes and commissions.
At this stage, we strongly recommend hiring a lawyer. A lawyer will ensure all documents are in order, check for any legal or tax obligations, and give you peace of mind throughout the sale. At ASBO Estates, we work closely with several highly reputable lawyers and are happy to recommend reliable professionals who will represent you only and who speak your language.
This is also the perfect time to start gathering the necessary documents for the sale. Below is an overview of the key documentation required when selling a property on the Costa del Sol:
Personal Documentation:
- Passport or ID card
- NIE number or residency number
Property Documentation:
- Copy of the title deed (Escritura)
- Recent Nota Simple
- Latest receipts for IBI, basura and community fees
- Minutes and rules from the latest community meeting
Permits & Improvements:
- Licenses for any repairs or modifications made to the property
- Receipts for improvement
Additional Documents (if available):
- Energy certificate
- Floor plans
Don’t worry if you can’t find everything, your lawyer from the time of purchase often has these documents, and both we and your lawyer will help guide you through the process.
Home Staging
Buyers decide quickly. If they don’t feel a connection in the first few seconds, you’ve probably lost them.
We help you:
- Highlight your property’s strongest features
- Reduce clutter and distractions
- Suggest simple improvements that add perceived value
- Prepare each room so it photographs better and *feels* better
Buyers who see a well-maintained, well-presented home are willing to pay more — and move faster.
Pricing strategy
The right listing price is crucial. Too high, and serious buyers won’t even book a viewing. Too low, and you’re leaving money on the table.
We will:
- Analyze the local market and comparable properties
- Advise you on a realistic, competitive price
- Explain how small price differences affect interest and offers
- Adjust the strategy if the market’s response changes
We combine market data with our local experience, so you’re not guessing — you’re making informed decisions.
Marketing
Good marketing is more than posting a few photos.
We focus on:
- High-quality photography and property presentation
- Compelling descriptions that highlight lifestyle as well as features
- Marketing your property across our network and partner portals
- Targeting serious, qualified buyers — not just browsers
If your home has been on the market for a while with limited interest, we can help you relaunch it with a new strategy and renewed momentum.
Open house and viewings
A viewing is often the make-or-break moment.
We focus on:
- Guide buyers through the property and highlight key selling points
- Ask questions to understand their needs and concerns
- Create a relaxed atmosphere so they feel free to explore
- Use a structured checklist to ensure nothing important is missed
This way, every visit is a real opportunity — not just someone “having a look.”

Offers & closing
Negotiation can be the most stressful part of a sale. Our job is to protect your interests and keep the deal on track.
We help you:
- Handle offers without revealing too much about your personal situation
- Focus on the overall value of the deal, not just small details
- Decide when it’s smart to compromise (and when it isn’t)
- Secure a reservation agreement and deposit before taking your property off the market
Once you’ve accepted an offer, we guide you all the way through to signing and completion, working closely with your lawyer to ensure everything is in order.
RESERVATION TO COMPLETION
Reservation of your property
When you and the buyer agree on a price, the first step is to reserve the property. The buyer pays a reservation deposit (usually €6,000), and the property is taken off the market while both lawyers begin their checks. The deposit is held securely by a lawyer until the next stage.
Private Purchase Contract (PPC)
Around 10–14 days after the reservation, the buyer signs the private purchase contract and pays 10% of the purchase price.
Signing the deed (Completion)
Approximately 30–50 days later, both parties meet at the notary. The buyer pays the remaining balance, the deed is signed, and ownership is officially transferred. You hand over the keys and the sale is complete.
WE ALWAYS HELP YOU
ASBO Estates is here to guide you from start to finish. We’ll help you understand your options, highlight what adds value, and ensure you avoid common pitfalls – so you can achieve the best possible sale for your home on the Costa del Sol.
