SELF-SALE CONSULTATION · I'LL COME TO YOU, UP TO 100 KM
CZK 2,000 an hour in Brno and up to 25 km around it. And I won't pitch you anything.
A few sentences about the property and a link to the listing is enough. I'll get back to you within 24 hours, confirm the price for your distance and agree a time.
You want to keep selling without an agency, but a professional opinion would help. I'll come and look at the property, we'll go through the five things that most often stall a private sale, and you'll leave with a list of steps in the order to do them.
You tell me what you're selling, where it is and how long it's been listed. From the address I confirm the price of the consultation straight away and we agree a time.
The listing, the title deed, the energy performance certificate, a floor plan and a current land registry extract. If something's missing, say so upfront — that's often part of the answer to why it isn't selling.
I walk through it with you, not from photos. I look at it through the eyes of a buyer standing there for the first time and making up their mind within minutes.
The price, the listing, the property, the paperwork and the viewings. For each one I tell you specifically what I'd change, in what order, and what it takes.
Ordered by what makes the biggest difference and what to do first. No follow-up meeting, no commitment, no questionnaires over the phone.
The five areas where a private sale most often breaks down. We don't discuss them in general terms — we discuss them on your property and in your listing.
The most common reason a listing sits for months is the price. I compare it with what comparable properties in your area actually sold for — not what they're being offered for. Those are two different numbers and the gap between them tends to matter. I'll set the price for you and back it with data, whether it comes out higher or lower than you expect. If the price is off, neither new photos nor better copy will fix it.
The photos, the text, the floor plan and everywhere the listing appears. I'll tell you specifically what to rewrite and what to reshoot: which photo has to come first, what to cut because people read the same line in every second listing, and what's missing, so a buyer has to ask — and most of them would rather not ask and click on instead. The floor plan is almost always missing, and it's one of the first things a serious buyer looks for.
What puts a buyer off before they get to ask anything else, and what they'll remember from the viewing. I'll tell you what's worth fixing before the sale and what isn't. A major renovation usually doesn't come back in full in the price; the small things costing a few thousand that decide the first impression get overlooked almost every time.
Easements, liens, the actual state not matching the land registry, a missing or expired energy performance certificate, a title deed nobody can find, a co-owner who doesn't know about the sale yet. These things don't kill the sale at your end — they kill it at the buyer's mortgage stage, by which point you've lost months and the buyer has bought elsewhere. That's why I want to see them before you shake anyone's hand.
How you run them, what you say, and what you should be asking instead. The most common mistake is talking a lot and finding out nothing: a buyer with the money ready, choosing between two flats, needs something different from one who first has to sell their own home and is still finding out whether the bank will lend. I'll show you how to tell them apart and how not to undercut your negotiating position in the first few minutes.
You leave with a list of steps in the order to do them. I won't pitch you anything. The consultation is paid for precisely so that it stays independent — it isn't a meeting where I talk you into signing with me. If you want to keep selling on your own afterwards, that's fine, and it's a common outcome.
The price depends on one thing: how far the property is from Brno. I'll travel up to 100 km.
| Where the property is | Price |
|---|---|
| In Brno and up to 25 km around it | CZK 2,000 per hour |
| 25.1–50 km from Brno | CZK 2,500 per hour |
| More than 50 km from Brno | CZK 5,000 per consultation |
I confirm the price upfront from the address, before we agree a time. No travel surcharge, no items that turn up on the invoice later.
It's for you if you're selling privately and want to carry on doing so, it's just not going the way you expected: the listing has been up for weeks, the phone doesn't ring, or the only people calling are agents. And it's for you if you're just starting out and want to get it right first time — that's cheaper than fixing it six months later.
It isn't for you if you need an expert appraisal for a bank, a court or the tax office. That's done by a court-appointed expert and my consultation doesn't replace it. I'll tell you that on the phone, not once I'm standing there. Valuations for probate I do handle — that's a different service from this consultation, so just get in touch and we'll go through what you need.
And it isn't a meeting about representation. If you're looking for an agent to take the sale over, just say so — that's a different service, a different conversation, and it's paid out of the sale.
I've been in real estate for 18 years and have over 700 completed deals behind me. On top of that, I sit on the examiners' side at the state qualification exams for real estate agents — where I ask about exactly what we cover in the consultation: pricing, contracts, reservations and defects. So I'm not coming to your property to sell you my services, but to tell you where I think it's breaking down.
That makes sense and I have no problem with it. I've written a guide on setting your asking price — it covers what I start the consultation with, you'll just be working through it yourself.
