Services

Property sales

Sale of an apartment or house covers pricing advice, photography, listings on the main Estonian portals, viewings, and negotiation through to the notary appointment. The owner receives a written plan with an asking price proposal before the listing goes live. The plan also includes a realistic sale-time estimate for the specific district and season.

Rental management

Rental service covers tenant search, background checks, the lease contract, and a handover protocol with meter readings. Owners can also order ongoing management, where Marten remains the tenant's contact for repairs and contract questions.

Price valuation

A valuation visit covers measurement checks, a condition review, and a comparison against recent sales in the same Tartu district. The owner receives a written price range with the reasoning behind it within a few days. Valuations are also prepared for inheritance and settlement cases.

Buyer representation

Buyer representation covers a search brief, shortlisting of suitable listings, joint viewings, and negotiation on the buyer's side. The service suits people moving to Tartu from another city who cannot attend every viewing in person.

Pre-sale preparation

Pre-sale preparation covers small repairs, decluttering advice, and ordering missing documents such as the energy performance certificate. The goal is a home with its paperwork ready before the first viewing.

Questions clients ask

How much is my apartment in Tartu worth?

The answer depends on the district, floor, condition, and recent sales of similar apartments. Marten gives a written price range after a visit and a comparison against closed deals, free of charge for owners who are considering a sale.

What does a real estate agent charge in Tartu?

Kodu Kinnisvara charges a commission agreed in writing before the listing goes live, calculated as a percentage of the final sale price. For rentals the fee is typically one month's rent, paid by the owner. Nothing is charged if the property does not sell.

How long does it take to sell an apartment in Tartu?

Sale time varies with district, price level, and season. A well-priced two-room apartment in a popular area can move within weeks, while a large house may take several months. The written sale plan includes an estimate for the specific property.

Do I need an agent to sell my home, or can I do it myself?

Owners can sell on their own, and some do. An agent adds market pricing data, portal visibility, viewing logistics, and negotiation experience, which matters most when the price is high or the seller lives outside Tartu.

What documents do I need to sell an apartment in Estonia?

A sale needs the property's land registry extract, the apartment association's confirmation of paid bills, and an energy performance certificate for the building. The notary prepares the sale contract itself. Marten collects and checks the documents before the appointment is booked.

Do you help with rental apartments for students?

Yes. Tartu's rental market follows the university calendar, so owners who list in June or July usually find tenants before the academic year starts. Marten handles tenant screening and the lease so the owner avoids the August rush.
