Selling a house or flat – at the best price, from 1 % commission.
Selling without risk.
For most owners, selling a house is the biggest financial decision of their lives – and it only happens once or twice. That is why we carry the risk, not you.
- Free mandateYou give us the mandate, we carry the risk: no advance payment, no listing costs, no flat fee if unsuccessful. Valuation, photos, documentation and viewings are included.
- Commission from 1 % – only on successOur commission is only due once your property has been notarised. If the property does not sell, you owe us nothing.
- For comparisonIn German-speaking Switzerland, agencies usually charge 2–3 % of the sale price plus VAT – often with upfront costs for listings and documentation.
- On site in Basel-CountryWe are at home in Füllinsdorf and know the market between Liestal, Pratteln, Sissach and the city of Basel from our own experience – the prices, the buyers, the notaries and the authorities.
A realistic price instead of a wishful one
We value your property free of charge using comparable prices from the region. Too high a price costs months, too low a price costs money – we find the right one.
Professional marketing
Photos, sales documentation, listings on the major portals, viewings with serious prospects, negotiation – all included.
Supported through to the notary
Reservation agreement, buyer’s financing confirmation, purchase contract, notarisation, land register entry: we coordinate everything with the notary’s office.
Taxes considered
Property gains tax, transfer tax, replacement purchase: with Roman Frey, our financial adviser and property fiduciary, we plan the sale correctly from a tax perspective too.
Six steps to the notary.
Free valuation
On-site viewing, analysis of location, condition and comparable prices. You receive a clear market value – without obligation.
Mandate & documents
You grant the free mandate. We compile the sales dossier: land register extract, plans, building insurance, running costs.
Marketing
Professional photos, documentation, listings on Homegate, ImmoScout24 and other portals as well as in our buyer network. Usually takes 6–10 weeks.
Viewings & negotiation
We conduct the viewings, vet the prospects and negotiate the best price for you.
Reservation & financing
Reservation agreement with deposit (usually 1–2 %), financing confirmation from the buyer’s bank.
Notarisation & land register
The purchase contract is notarised by a notary in Basel-Country. Ownership transfers with the land register entry – and the purchase price is paid out.
Total time from valuation to land register entry: usually 3 to 4 months.

Questions about selling.
Who draws up the purchase contract?
In the canton of Basel-Country, an independent notary with state authorisation to notarise.
- A privately written purchase contract is void for land – notarisation is mandatory
- We prepare all the details and documents
- We coordinate the appointment with the notary and accompany you to the notarisation
When do I receive the money?
After the land register entry – usually 2 to 4 weeks after notarisation.
- At notarisation the buyer presents an irrevocable payment undertaking from their bank
- Payment is made via the notary’s office
- Part may be withheld to secure the property gains tax
Wie lange dauert ein Verkauf im Baselbiet?
From valuation to land register entry usually 3 to 4 months.
- Marketing and viewings: usually 6 to 10 weeks
- Reservation, financing confirmation and notary appointment: 4 to 6 weeks
- With a realistic price and complete documents it goes faster
Too high a price is the most common reason for delays.
What is a reservation agreement?
A written declaration of intent between you and the buyer.
- Deposit of usually 1–2 % of the purchase price
- Secures the negotiation phase while the buyer arranges financing
- Only the notarised purchase contract is legally binding
Do I have to pay taxes on a sale?
Yes – in Basel-Country the transfer tax and, if there is a gain, the property gains tax.
- Transfer tax: 1.25 % of the purchase price for the seller
- Property gains tax: 3 to 25 % on the gain after deducting investment costs, investments, commission and notary
- Anyone who buys another owner-occupied home in Switzerland within two years can defer both or be exempted
We work it out with you before the sale.
Should I renovate before selling?
Usually not – small measures yes, major renovations no.
- Worthwhile: cleaning, decluttering, small repairs, fresh paint, well-kept garden
- Not worthwhile: a new kitchen or bathroom shortly before the sale – the buyer has their own ideas
- Exception: safety-related defects and moisture damage
At the valuation we tell you honestly what really improves the price.
What happens to my mortgage?
It is repaid, taken over by the buyer – or transferred to your new property.
- Repayment: the bank is repaid from the sale proceeds – for ongoing fixed-rate mortgages an early repayment penalty may apply
- Takeover by the buyer: possible if the bank agrees and the buyer meets the affordability criteria
- Mortgage transfer (change of property): If you buy a new home, you can take your existing fixed-rate mortgage, with its rate and remaining term, to the new property – without an early repayment penalty. The bank re-checks the new property and affordability. Especially worthwhile if your old rate is lower than current rates
- Mortgage notes are cancelled or transferred to the buyer
We clarify this early with your bank – together with Roman Frey, our financial adviser.
Can I cancel the mandate?
Yes, at any time.
- A brokerage contract can be terminated without notice
- You only owe us a commission if the sale is concluded with a buyer we introduced
- No costs for valuation, photos or listings
No success, no fees – that is our promise.
