Selling a premium home isn’t about getting more eyes on it. It’s about capturing the right ones—serious, qualified buyers who are ready to move when the time is right.
And that timing? It’s rarely accidental.
The first few weeks on the market can shape the entire result. That’s why the approach needs to be focused, professional, and far beyond just “putting it online.”
High-value buyers are watching long before you list
Buyers in the €500,000+ range don’t browse property portals casually. They’re often working with retained agents, wealth managers or relocation consultants. They know what they want—and they act when the right home appears.
- They spot new listings early
- They compare carefully
- And they move if it fits the brief
Which means: if your marketing isn’t ready from day one, you’ve already missed them.
This is why your launch plan matters more than anything. It’s not about uploading a few photos and hoping for enquiries. It’s about creating demand from serious buyers who were already waiting.
Pricing “to test” the market? That’s a mistake
In the luxury market, pricing is everything. If you go live with a figure that’s clearly inflated—even by €50,000—you won’t get buyers negotiating. You’ll get buyers ignoring you.
A €595,000 home listed at €650,000 doesn’t get short-listed by the right people. It gets skipped. And the damage can last months.
At Hola Properties, we don’t guess. We have access to a wide private database of comparable sales data—real figures from successful deals, not just asking prices. That gives our clients the confidence to list with purpose, not speculation.

Video is no longer a luxury—it’s the minimum standard
For most international buyers, the decision to visit your property happens before they get on a plane. And their first impression won’t come from the listing. It will come from video.
But not just any video.
A shaky mobile phone walk-through with wind noise isn’t going to sell a €600,000 home. If anything, it will damage trust. Today’s premium buyers are watching on smart TVs, often with friends or advisors. Production quality matters.
At Hola Properties, we’ve spent over 10 years refining how to use video in high-end marketing. That includes:
- Professional direction and editing
- Storytelling and lifestyle content
- Targeted ad campaigns with tracking
- Watcher retargeting to build deeper engagement
And most importantly, we know where to promote it so the right people see it at the right time.

Yes, luxury homes take longer—but the first month still matters
It’s true that €500,000+ homes can take longer to sell. The buyer pool is smaller, and decision-making is often slower. But that doesn’t mean the first few weeks aren’t critical.
- The strongest offers usually come in the first 30–60 days
- After 90 days, buyers start asking why the home hasn’t sold
- Momentum fades, and price reductions follow
That’s why we treat the first month like a launch window—not a soft opening.
We build anticipation, prepare the property properly, and bring it to market in a way that gets noticed by the right people. The window is short. But with the right plan, it’s powerful.
Documentation delays kill deals
A serious buyer will walk away if the paperwork isn’t ready.
That means:
- Nota simple must be current
- Energy certificate must be available
- Georeferenced plans must be in place
- Title issues must be addressed in advance
No delays. No guesswork. And no excuses.
We help our sellers prepare all legal documents before listing, so a buyer with funds ready can move fast, with confidence.
It’s not about perfection. It’s about presentation
Premium buyers aren’t expecting every corner to be brand new. But they do expect:
- A clean, clutter-free environment
- Lighting that flatters the space
- Thoughtful layout and emotional appeal
Signs of neglect—peeling paint, broken tiles, damp smell—will immediately reduce buyer confidence, even if the home is structurally sound.
We guide sellers through simple, effective prep that makes a strong emotional impact—especially in photo and video campaigns.
Ready to sell? Don’t list until your marketing is ready
Selling a high-value home isn’t just business. It’s personal. You’ve likely invested time, money, and care into it. So don’t risk a half-hearted approach.
- A premium home needs a premium launch
- You won’t get second chances with international buyers
- And you shouldn’t settle for agents who just follow the crowd
At Hola Properties, we understand what it takes to market your home globally, professionally, and with results.
