I have purchased a two rooms flat in Vangede area and it has not been a good experience. The flat was advertised as a 67sqm as BBR area, while in the purchase agreement it has been a light mention that the BBR area might be only 62 sqm. At least a poor and not transparent sales process, with very little flexibility to compensate for the actual fraud sale.

ANSWER TO YOUR REPLY:

I am sorry, but it has nothing to do with my understanding of the process, but with how the flat was advertised from the very beginning of the sales process (salgsopstilling), which influences the value of the flat per sqm, which is one of the main indicators in the real estate industry, right? It is true that it was mentioned in the following document (købsaftale) just as a clause and that my lawyer might not have underlined it as a red flag in due time for me to reject the purchase. However, the lack of transparency is quite obvious.

We purchased a heritage country house in Jutland through Christopher Noerring Lund from Jesper Nielsen in Aarhus. The experience was excellent throughout. The property description and photos are very professional. Jesper Nielsen specialize in unique properties, and they understand the market very well, which meant that the pricing was set at a realistic level which resulted in a transaction. Christopher mastered the role of representing the seller, yet managing the negotiation process between the parties skillfully. We can highly recommend Christopher from Jesper Nielsen in Aarhus to any seller of a unique property in Jutland.

I used JN to sell my house in Charlottenlund. It went up for sale August 2019 and was sold March 2020. It was my choice to go with JN as i wanted a company that i thought was hungry and nimble enough and dare i say it trendier than a Home or Nybolig. In my review, i have to say that Malene Olsen working at JN was excellent and Michelle Dahl also a very nice person.

In my review there are a few things to consider.

1) Make sure the price is right when you put the property on the market. Unfortunately in my case this wasn't the case. I was informed that my property would be sold at X when we first met or close to it. The difference in valuations between the real estators was quite large, but obviously was my choice to go with the highest valuation. We ended up selling the property -14.5% from original valuation. The problem with going with a valuation that is too high is that you are always chasing the tail so to speak and collecting liggetid on the sites. We had no people turn up to our first open house, and extremely little traction in the first 5 months of the house being listed. This of course created frustration when you are told that the way to get more people in the door is to keep cutting the price. Any person with no training could say the same thing.
2) Costs - Make sure you read the contract through. JN was about 80% higher initially than home.dk all in to sell my property. This is fine if you get to the sell at the higher price, but if you don't, you are still potentially liable to wear the high cost. Some of the costs within the "cost" such as digital marketing i would also consider too high. The algorithm used is the same as some of the other major real estate agents yet on research i found the cost through JN to be at least 2x as high.
3. Make sure the real estate agent has a large footprint in the area you choose. For example, JN is well known in the Holte area and is looking to expand into other areas which is great, but if the firm is new in an area like Charlottenlund, you potentially have a domino effect problem. For example, if you put your house with Home, they might have 30 houses in the 10-20 mio range in Charlottenlund, with JN they might have one or two. This creates a problem i found in that Home would have a larger pool of clients from open houses etc, who they could direct to their other properties to view, at JN that was impossible if they had one at 11mio and one at 18mio. So essentially i believe the firm also needs to create some scale in its business. One of the ways obviously would be to undercut home.dk on price rather than as i found be a lot more expensive.

I am not advocating using Home or Nybolig over JN, but i think you need to do some research before making a very important decision like who to sell your house with. Its the biggest thing you will ever sell.
