Selling a property is one of the biggest financial transactions most families will ever make. On Brikoula, publishing a property for sale is a paid premium listingâunlike service requests, which remain free. That is not a tax on sellers; it is what keeps the category valuable and worth browsing.
Why Sellers Pay to Post
A small publication fee filters out the noise: duplicate listings, unrealistic price-testing, and ads posted "just to see what happens."
What remains is a marketplace where every listing is genuine and every seller is seriousâexactly what buyers are looking for. And serious buyers are exactly what sellers want. The result is fewer but far more meaningful enquiries instead of hundreds of casual messages.
What a Serious Listing Should Include
Real photos taken in daylight of every main room, plus the building entrance and the viewâbecause buyers will ask to see them anyway.
The property's surface area in square metres, the floor number, and its orientation.
A clear explanation of the legal status: whether all documents are ready or what stage the process has reached. Unexpected legal issues are one of the main reasons property sales fail.
A realistic asking price. Testing the market with an unrealistic price usually attracts buyers who are only testing the market as well.
What is included in the sale: the kitchen, air conditioners, built-in fixtures, and any other permanent features.
Organising Viewings Wisely
Schedule visits in dedicated time slots instead of accepting appointments throughout the day.
Keep valuables out of sight, ask prospective buyers to provide a phone number through the in-app chat before confirming a viewing, and whenever possible arrange visits during daylight hours with another adult present.
A buyer who refuses any form of identification before entering your home is already giving you important information.
Keep Negotiations in Writing
Use the in-app chat for offers and counter-offers until the sale is officially signed before the notary.
Verbal agreements are easily forgotten; written ones protect everyone involved.
Once both parties reach an agreement, the legal process belongs to the notary. No informal cash deposit should ever change hands.
Where Brikoula Fits
Your premium listing places your property directly on the map, allowing buyers searching in your neighbourhood to find it exactly where it is located.
Interested buyers unlock your contact details and communicate with you through the app's chat, while the publication fee helps ensure that the people contacting you are genuinely interested.
