Avéo helps owners sell quickly before the new capital gains tax on real estate

Avéo, the leading network for helping people sell their real estate, can help owners of second homes sell before the end of the year to avoid the new capital gains tax that takes effect on February 12, 2012.

Founded in 2008 and a pioneer in home staging in France, the Avéo franchise network offers comprehensive sales support services to real estate agencies and their clients. It has helped reduce the average time to sell properties to 19,5 days, compared to the traditional 127 days.

With the change in the taxation of capital gains on second homes (increase in the rate and duration), Avéo's offer is particularly relevant.
Indeed, on February 12, 2012, the new regulations governing capital gains on second homes, rental properties, building land, and vacant housing came into effect. These properties will now be taxed at a rate of 32,5% instead of 31,3%, and you will have to own your property for more than 30 years to benefit from an exemption, compared to 15 years previously.

To avoid this new tax, many property owners with short-term sales plans are accelerating their efforts to sell their properties at the best possible price before the regulations come into effect. The result: an influx of properties for sale on the market. It has therefore become essential to stand out and present your property in the best possible conditions to sell it within the allotted timeframe.
In this context, Avéo's intervention consists of depersonalizing and enhancing the property in order to allow potential buyers to easily project themselves into it and trigger the "love at first sight" that will generate the sale.
Currently, 83% of properties handled by Avéo have sold in less than a month.

SALES SUPPORT SERVICES OFFERED BY AVÉO

Avéo has set up a range of sales support services for real estate agencies that can significantly reduce the time it takes to sell a property.
- “Sold in 3 months”:
Avéo services are backed by the "Sold in 3 Months" guarantee. This guarantee is offered to sellers with a contractual commitment, but requires no financial investment before the property is sold. It reassures owners about the timeframe for selling their properties.
- Home Staging:
Avéo allows you to recondition your property for sale. Decluttering, depersonalizing, neutralizing, and adding new layouts to enhance the space.
- Management of real estate diagnostics:
By managing the mandatory real estate diagnostics during its service, Avéo allows real estate agencies to quickly present a complete file of the property for sale.
- Refreshment work:
Avéo takes care of all interior and exterior renovation work (painting, wallpaper, floors, etc.) without subcontracting.
- Costing of the work:
As a potential buyer tends to overestimate the work to be carried out in order to negotiate a lower sale price, Avéo makes it easy to overcome these objections by directly integrating the costing of certain works into the file.
- Organization of Open Days:
Organizing Open Days by real estate agencies can significantly boost their sales. Avéo handles the logistics of the organization: creating flyers, distributing leaflets in mailboxes, banners, signs, and communicating about the event.
- Moving assistance:
Included in Avéo's services is the loan of a van on the seller's moving day or the complete cleaning of the property after the move.
- Solution for real estate development and rental management:
Avéo offers solutions to facilitate the sale of an existing property with a view to acquiring a new one, as well as exclusive services (maintenance, refurbishment, etc.) for landlords. These services can be provided on a regular basis or simply for upgrades between leases, for example.
- Solutions for buyers:
Avéo also offers services to buyers: advice on organizing interior space, home energy audits, energy renovation, etc.
