Why The Keys ?

The team

The Keys Real Estate is a young, dynamic and multilingual team with several years of experience of the Brussels real estate market. Our “tailored” approach allows us to manage each of our properties with the attention and exclusivity it deserves. This results in a personalised service for each individual property we have on our books. This seems logical to us, as in reality, no two properties are the same…!

Our profession

Why choose an estate agent ?

Selling your property often represents one of the most important decisions and transactions in your life. It is because of this importance that our profession exists. Estate agents’ roles have very much evolved over the past years, and have become even more crucial. The constantly changing regulations and legislations relating to the sale of a property make up some of the factors responsible for this evolution, especially in a tough economic situation. Quite rightly, real estate transactions are more controlled and access to the profession is much stricter than before. A good estate agent is there to guide and advise you throughout the whole sales process. This begins with an objective valuation of your property, and goes through several steps all leading towards the best possible final result.

One must not consider an estate agents’ commission as an additional cost. On the contrary, it will enable you to sell your property in the best possible conditions, be they financial, administrative or logistical.
