Study Notes
Real Estate
- Real estate refers to property, specifically houses and the land on which they are built.
- Real estate has a fixed location, cannot be separated from the land, and cannot be moved.
- A real estate agency arranges the selling, renting, or management of homes, land, and buildings for their owners.
- Examples of real estate agencies include angel-Volkers, Idealista, and fotocasa.
- A realtor (real estate agent) represents buyers and sellers in transactions, often working for a commission or fixed quantity.
- An API (in Spain) is a real estate agent with special training and certification, specializing in giving advice about real estate, following an ethical code, and protecting customer rights.
- Commercial agents in real estate agencies may not always have specialized training, but often have contracts with the agency.
- Parties involved in renting include the landlord (lessor), tenant (lessee), and optionally a real estate agent.
- Parties involved in buying and selling a house include the owner, buyer, real estate agent/commercial agent, and notary.
- A realtor's role includes representing buyers and sellers in transactions, advising clients, and building portfolios of properties.
- The real estate selling process involves listing the property, connecting with potential buyers, agreeing on price, and finalizing the sale with the notary.
- First-hand properties involve developers buying land, constructing homes, and then contracting real estate agencies to sell them.
- Key parties in the real estate sector include banks, real estate agents, customers, developers, notaries, and lawyers.
- Low birth rates, youth unemployment, and anticipated price decreases contribute to lower house demand.
Renting vs. Buying
- Renting has lower upfront costs and the landlord's responsibility for maintenance; relocating is easier.
- Buying involves building equity, tax deductions, and customization freedom.
- Renting, however, lacks equity building, flexibility, and freedom to make changes.
Real Estate Financing, Costs, and Legal Elements
- Free housing has prices determined by market supply and demand.
- VPO houses (government-subsidized) are sold at lower prices than market value with specific conditions.
- Conditions for a VPO house include income limits, previous VPO ownership history, and using the house as the primary residence.
- Housing cooperatives involve groups building their homes collaboratively for cost savings, excluding intermediaries.
- Documents crucial in buying or selling a house include intermediate agreements, reservation agreements, deeds, and other certificates like IBI tax or energy efficiency certificates.
- Pre-agreements with deposits are contracts where a buyer makes a deposit to reserve a property.
- Deeds are official documents signed by a notary, confirming the transaction.
- Valuation expenses determine a property's worth.
- Notary fees and consultancy costs are part of the home buying process, varying depending on the situation's complexity.
- Buyers pay VAT, transfer taxes, mortgage taxes, and property taxes.
- Sellers pay plusvalÃa (property profit tax).
- Tax conditions for deductions may vary based on the rules of the autonomous community involved.
- Governmental grants for renting may have age, employment, or income restrictions.
- Mortgages are loans from banks to buy homes, with the house potentially acting as collateral (real guarantees).
Marketing and Promotion
- Traditional real estate promotion includes flyers, catalogues, billboards, and magazines.
- Digital promotion includes websites, social media, and newsletters.
- SEM (Search Engine Marketing) uses paid advertisements to increase web visibility.
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) increases web visibility through natural search results.
- Good advertising messages should be credible, persuasive, clear, and creative.
Real Estate Types
- Real estate types include apartments, studios, penthouses, terraced houses, semi-detached homes, detached houses, cottages, bungalows, houses, palaces, mobile homes, boats, farms, ranches, and other property types.
Real Estate Filters
- Common filters on real estate websites include property type (flat, house, office), purchase or rent option, and location (area, residential, suburban, city or countryside).
Additional Details
- Home staging involves remodeling or redecorating a house to appeal to buyers.
- A "sheet of visit" is a document confirming customer visits to the property.
- Factors influencing house buying decisions include property characteristics (number of rooms, if furnished), price, location, and amenities.
- Taxes, expenses, and conditions may significantly alter the details of each transaction; therefore specific details should be checked with the relevant local authorities.
