Guide to selling a luxury real estate property

• The Prosecco region
• Venice

The main difference between an exclusive mandate and a non-exclusive mandate concerns the commitment between the seller and the real estate agent.

The exclusive mandate grants sole selling rights to one agent for a defined period of time. On the other hand, a non-exclusive mandate allows the seller to entrust the sale of the property to several agencies at the same time and, in some cases, the seller can even manage the sale independently.

From a strategic point of view, an exclusive mandate allows for a more coordinated, consistent, and professional approach.

A non-exclusive mandate offers the seller greater freedom but can make communication and the property’s positioning in the market more complex. As a matter of fact, entrusting multiple agencies does not necessarily mean receiving more requests, nor does it mean obtaining a quicker sale. On the contrary, photos are often taken from different angles (sometimes unprofessionally), descriptions may be inconsistent, and even prices and square meter figures may vary. These overlaps signal weakness and urgency to the market, prompting potential buyers to haggle over the price.

As a Boutique Agency with over 30 years of experience in this region, we consider exclusivity to be the cornerstone of our commitment to quality for three key reasons:

1. We firmly believe in the selling of your property, and we enhance its value through a preliminary study, which often involves an interior design project that showcases your property to its best advantage.
2. Together, we can define a unique and coherent strategy, selecting the most suitable network of contacts whilst maintaining full control over the property’s image. This translates into greater clarity, less wasted effort, and a more effective and streamlined sales process.
3. Exclusivity allows us to invest our resources in the property with greater conviction by creating tailored communication, a professional presentation, and targeted promotion through exclusive media channels and sales networks.

When a property is managed on an exclusive basis, every activity can be planned with greater care and with a specific goal: to achieve the best possible result in terms of both time and value.

We are, indeed, convinced that in an increasingly competitive market, it is not just visibility that makes the difference, but the quality of such visibility. A fragmented promotional approach risks undermining the perception of a given property; a unified strategy, on the other hand, allows us to preserve its prestige and present it in the most effective way possible.

In other words, we believe that exclusivity is not a restriction, but a methodological choice. It is the best way to offer a truly personalized service and to treat every property with the same care and attention as one would treat a valuable asset with a unique history.

Selling a property at a fair market price and avoiding underselling or creating false expectations are our top priorities. Edelweiss.re’s real estate valuation method differs significantly from traditional standards through two key pillars:

• Sales comparison approach: we monitor actual transactions in the high-end market in our areas of expertise (the Dolomites, Venice, the Prosecco hills) on a daily basis. We do not analyze asking prices on property portals (which are often inflated or distorted), but rather the actual deed values. We compare these values with trends in international demand to provide a solid, competitive, and strong starting price during negotiations.

• Assessment of the potential value: this is our real strength. Our team assesses the property not only for its current condition but also for what it could become through targeted renovation or layout reorganization. By identifying and quantifying the potential, we dramatically increase the value perceived by the buyer.

We firmly believe that, in the delicate process of selling a property, confidentiality and attention to detail are the key. That is why we immediately try to help you understand our value and our strategy.

To protect the value of your home, we adopt a concrete action plan that is unique in the market:

• Legal, Planning and Building Regulations Check-up
  Step 1: Full Protection
  Before taking pictures, we carry out a thorough analysis of the property in terms of documentation, building regulations, town planning and land registry records. Resolving any potential technical discrepancies in advance means securing the negotiation, protecting you from future legal disputes and ensuring a safe and straightforward purchase for the buyer.
• Interior Design and Archviz Project
  Step 2: Our true differentiator
  If your property needs refurbishment or has underutilized spaces, our interior designers and architects will develop a bespoke project with top-quality photorealistic 3D renderings (Archviz). This is our strategy to show the buyer their future home, eliminate any uncertainty about refurbishment costs, and speed up the decision to buy.
• Emotional Marketing and Positioning
  Step 3: Bespoke Campaigns
  We carry out a professional photo and video shoot to showcase the property in harmony with its surroundings (whether it is situated amongst the peaks of the Dolomites, in the Prosecco hills or in Venice). The property is then listed on elite national and international platforms, maintaining a refined and exclusive positioning.
• Links with International Network
  Step 4: High-value client targeting
  Thanks to our private database and our established international network with Mayfair International Realty, we connect your property directly with global investors and buyers. Every contact is pre-qualified and shortlisted by our team: we will only show your home to people who genuinely intend to buy a house, whilst safeguarding your privacy.
