Why the asking price decides everything
A pricing mistake costs more than any commission
Sellers lose money in two ways. Both look like common sense.
Priced too high
Looked at the neighbours' listings, set "the same as theirs" and a bit more. But a listing price is not a deal price. The property sits for months, buyers see the listing date and bargain harder. In the end you drop below market - and all that time you pay utilities, tax and possibly a mortgage.

Priced too low
Took the first offer or sold to a buy-out company "fast and hassle-free". Sold in a week and will never know how much you left on the table.

Example in numbers:
A flat worth €120,000. Asking price set 8% too high - the property sits for four months and goes for a discount below market.

9 600 € - what the pricing mistake cost
6 000 € - agency commission
6 000 € - agency commission
That's why the first thing we do is not a listing, but a price. Not over the phone and not from neighbours' listings - after a viewing, confirmed by a certified valuer.
Terms
We state our terms here, not at a meeting
Commission 4-5% + VAT
The rate depends on the property. We agree it at the start - it doesn't change during the sale. Minimum commission - €1,500 in Riga and €2,000 outside Riga.
€0 before the deal
No prepayments, no paying for photos or advertising upfront. The money for the property has arrived in your account - then you pay us.
Certified valuation as a gift
An official valuer's report recognised by banks and state institutions. Costs €220-270 on its own. Free for those who sell with us.
One price everywhere
We alone publish and manage the listings. Buyers see one price and one description on every portal - and can't knock it down by citing "another listing".
The main question
Why not sell it yourself on SS.lv and save 5%?
You can. Many do, and some succeed. Here's what you take on if you go that way:
- The pricefrom neighbours' listings, because you can't see real deals.
- The bargainingagainst buyers and flippers for whom this is a job.
- The callsfrom agents offering to "help" and people who won't show up for the viewing.
- Buyer checksdoes he actually have the money, or will the deal collapse the day before the notary.
- The viewingsin your working hours, in your flat, for strangers.
- The paperworkpurchase agreement, deposit, notary, Land Register. One mistake and the deal is delayed for months.
If that's your path - at least don't set the price from neighbours' listings.
If not - you pay only when the money is already yours.

Why we get a higher price
Valuer, agent and builder work on your property together
A typical agent is one person with a phone. He can't tell you whether a renovation before selling will pay off, because he isn't a builder. And he can't prove the price to the buyer with a report, because he isn't a valuer. We have all three under one brand.

Certified valuers find the real, maximum achievable price - and whatever could derail the deal: encumbrances, inconsistencies in documents, unpermitted alterations. All of it is fixed before going to market, not the day before the notary.

Our construction crew prepares the property for sale - only what pays off in the final price. A real case: a flat was worth €40,000. €24,000 went into renovation - it sold for €72,500. €8,500 more than the flat and the renovation combined.

The property goes to market prepared, with a proven price and no surprises. So it sells faster and for more.

Buyer financing
We help your buyer get a mortgage
Deals most often collapse over financing - the buyer didn't get approval in time. So we verify the buyer's financing before the deposit and walk him into the bank: Maks V clients have partner mortgage terms. For you it means one thing - the deal closes on time. Programme terms are on the promo-code page. The lending decision is made by the bank.
The buyers are already here
Buyers come to Maks V, not to a listing
Ludmila posted a new property in her WhatsApp status - before any portal, just for her contacts. A minute later there were six interested buyers. Not "views" - people who wrote and asked when they could come and see it.

Over 28 years we've built a base of people searching right now and partners bringing their clients. Your property reaches them before it reaches ss.lv.
Strategy
Three ways to sell - you choose
"Fast" and "top price" don't happen at the same time. We show what each path gives and follow the one you pick.
Fast
Price slightly below the top of the market, full exposure from day one, quick decisions in bargaining. If you need the money by a date or the property is holding you abroad. Guide: 2-3 weeks.

Balanced
Market price, demand check in the first weeks, adjustment based on real responses. The path for most properties. Guide: 3-6 weeks.

Upper segment, pre-sale preparation by Maks V būve, patient buyer selection. If you have the time and the property deserves it. Guide: 2-4 months.

Who we are NOT for: If you want to list the property more than 15% above market value and "wait for your buyer" - we'll say so and won't take it on. Not because we don't want to, but because we won't sell it - and we'll waste your time and ours.

Frequently asked questions
Answering what matters most
From deals, not listings. After a viewing, a certified valuer compares real sales of similar properties and factors in condition and current demand. You get the price the property will actually sell for, not a number that looks good in a listing.
Because a price from a description is guesswork. Quote low - you lose money if you believe it. Quote high - the property stalls for months. We name the price after a viewing, and a certified valuer's report backs it up.
Depends on the scenario: fast sale - 2-3 weeks, balanced - 3-6 weeks, top price - 2-4 months. These are guides from our deals; we'll be more precise after a viewing. Two factors decide almost everything: the right asking price and the quality of the presentation.
4-5% + VAT. We agree the rate at the start. Minimum - €1,500 in Riga and €2,000 outside. You pay only after the deal. Until then - not a single payment, photos and advertising included.
It's a document, not an opinion. The buyer and his bank trust a report, not an agent's word - bargaining is shorter and the buyer's mortgage goes through without surprises. On its own such a report costs €220-270; for our clients it's free.
See the section above. In short: you save 5% but take on pricing blind, calls, viewings, bargaining, buyer checks and paperwork. If you're up for it - good luck. If not - you pay only after the result.
Yes, completely, including the closing. Latvian notaries handle property deals by video conference via latvijasnotars.lv: documents are signed with eParaksts or Smart-ID, and the notary files them with the Land Register. You need an e-signature valid in Latvia. If you don't have one, we arrange a power of attorney and you don't travel at all.
Yes, it's a standard situation. The bank gives consent, the remaining loan is repaid from the buyer's money at closing, and you receive the difference. We agree the scheme with the bank in advance.
Capital gains tax - 25.5% on the difference between the sale price and the purchase price, less documented investments. Example: bought for €60,000, invested €10,000, sold for €100,000 - tax is 25.5% of €30,000 = €7,650. No tax is due if you have owned the property for more than 60 months and it was your declared residence for at least 12 consecutive months, or it is your only property owned for more than 60 months, or your only property and the proceeds are reinvested in another home within 12 months. We'll check your case before going to market - sometimes moving the deal by a couple of months saves thousands of euros.
Both are possible. For a share, the co-owners' right of first refusal must be observed; for an inheritance, the probate must be completed and the title registered in the Land Register. After that the property sells like any other.
Not always. The valuer and the builder calculate whether the investment will pay off. Sometimes a clean-up is enough; sometimes a renovation returns more than it cost: a €40,000 flat sold for €72,500 after a €24,000 renovation. The decision is yours, but based on a calculation, not a guess.
Then the price, presentation or exposure didn't match. We look at real responses and adjust. You are not obliged to wait forever.
