Property purchase & broker behavior: Is this normal?

Then you are lucky that the market in your region is so relaxed.

It is not at all, but as I said: That's why I don't say yes and amen to everything. Eventually it will work out.

So according to the realtor, the next thing we will hear from is the notary.
...

I assume you are aware that you will receive the purchase contract from the notary for review at least 14 days before the notary appointment? It might even be that they send you the draft earlier because they need more information from you. That was the case for us.

If you are taking over furnishings, tools, or similar items, you should make a small list because you don't have to pay real estate transfer tax on these values. However, I don't know if this reduces the realtor's commission, so that he might raise an objection.

If something in the notary contract is unclear to you, just ask here. Maybe one of the forum members knows if something is critical. Usually, these are standard contracts.

This only applies if the sale is from a commercial party to a private individual.

I know many families who have been searching for houses for years and don’t make it to the shortlist because there are far too many interested buyers. And it’s not due to lack of income or anything like that. Simply too much demand with too little supply.

That’s why it’s best to buy off the market ;-)

So, I spoke with the notary a few hours ago, she will send me the contract draft on Monday. I just became alert regarding the inventory. The notary mentioned that there is a dilapidated house on the property. Can we still somehow save real estate transfer taxes by listing the inventory inside?

Very good and original question. :)
