Thinking about selling your house, villa, apartment or investment property in Curaçao?
Selling real estate is a major decision. Whether you are relocating, selling an investment, moving to another property or simply considering whether now is the right time to sell, having the right strategy can make a significant difference.
At Keller Williams Curaçao, we guide property owners through the complete selling process—from determining the right asking price and marketing the property to negotiating offers and completing the transfer at the notary.
You work with one dedicated Keller Williams Curaçao real estate agent, supported by our full team, providing you with one clear point of contact while benefiting from the resources and reach of our entire brokerage.
The process of selling property in Curaçao typically consists of six main stages:
At Keller Williams Curaçao, we coordinate these steps with you from beginning to end.
One of the most important decisions when selling a house in Curaçao is establishing the right asking price.
Before listing your property, we prepare a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) and develop a pricing strategy based on the property, location and relevant market information.
Pricing matters. The objective isn't simply to place your home on the market at the highest possible asking price. It is to position it effectively so that it attracts serious buyers while protecting the value of your property.
Once the strategy is agreed upon, the listing agreement is signed and we prepare the property for the market.
This includes recommendations to maximize its appeal, professional presentation, photography, the property description and installation of a For Sale sign where appropriate.
Putting a property online is only the beginning.
A successful real estate marketing strategy should expose your property to both local and international buyers.
Our marketing can include:
Our objective is to create professional, consistent exposure for your property across multiple channels rather than simply waiting for buyers to discover the listing.
Curaçao attracts property buyers from both the local market and abroad.
Keller Williams Curaçao combines local market knowledge with the reach of the international Keller Williams network. Our Seller’s Guide highlights access to approximately 200,000 Keller Williams agents worldwide, including around 17,000 agents located in cities with direct flights to Curaçao.
This gives us an additional opportunity to bring Curaçao properties to the attention of buyers outside the island.
When an offer is received, we review it with you.
Price is obviously important, but it isn't the only factor to consider. The conditions, financing, timing and other terms of an offer can also influence whether it represents the right deal.
Your Keller Williams Curaçao agent will help you evaluate the offer and negotiate the terms with the goal of reaching the best possible agreement for you.
Once both parties agree on the terms, the accepted offer forms the basis for moving forward with the transaction.
Before the sale can proceed, documentation and required compliance checks must be completed.
As the seller, you will generally be asked to provide documents including:
The buyer will also provide the documentation required for verification.
Keller Williams Curaçao performs the required compliance checks. Once compliance has been approved, the sales agreement can be signed by the parties and the transaction file is forwarded to the notary.
After the sales agreement is signed, the buyer will usually transfer a 10% deposit to the notary within 10 working days.
The notary confirms the funds and prepares the legal transfer of the property.
According to our standard selling process, closing typically takes place approximately three to four months after signing, although the actual transfer date is agreed as part of the transaction and can vary.
If one of the parties cannot personally attend the transfer appointment, it may be possible to complete the transaction using a proxy.
Before closing, a final inspection or walkthrough of the property is performed.
The deed is subsequently signed at the notary, ownership is legally transferred and the keys are handed over to the new owner.
And yes—this is usually the part where everyone starts smiling.
Property owners sometimes assume that listing a home with several real estate agencies creates more exposure.
We believe a professionally managed exclusive listing agreement can actually increase the effectiveness of your marketing without limiting access to buyers.
With Keller Williams Curaçao, exclusivity does not mean that only Keller Williams agents can sell your property.
We share our listings with other real estate agents and agencies across Curaçao.
When another real estate agent brings the buyer, Keller Williams Curaçao shares the commission 50/50 with that agent.
This gives other agents a strong incentive to introduce qualified buyers to your property while you retain:
Instead of several agencies advertising the same property differently, you have one strategy and one responsible listing agent—while the wider real estate community can still bring the buyer.
Our standard exclusive listing term is 12 months.
This gives us the opportunity to fully implement the marketing strategy, reach both local and international buyers and maintain consistent exposure until the right buyer is found.
It doesn't mean we intend to take 12 months to sell your property. We move quickly from the moment the property enters the market.
The term provides continuity and gives the marketing strategy sufficient time to focus on the right deal rather than simply the first offer.
Our relationship with sellers is built on trust.
If you are dissatisfied, we first want the opportunity to discuss the situation and determine whether adjustments can resolve the issue.
If you still want to terminate the listing agreement, Keller Williams Curaçao will release you without a cancellation penalty.
We will provide a list of buyers who inquired about the property during our listing period. If one of those buyers subsequently purchases the property, commission remains applicable. Otherwise, you are free to move forward.
Keller Williams Curaçao's standard selling commission is 4%.
The commission supports the complete marketing and sales process, including photography, video, signage, online listings, social media advertising and exposure through local and international channels.
Importantly, when another agent represents the buyer, we share our commission 50/50 with that agent.
That cooperation helps maximize exposure because other real estate professionals remain financially motivated to bring their buyers to your property.
Choosing the right real estate agent in Curaçao isn't only about who can put your property online.
It is about pricing, positioning, marketing, negotiation, communication and managing the transaction correctly through to the notarial transfer.
At Keller Williams Curaçao, our approach combines:
Our commitment doesn't end when you sign at the notary. We aim to remain your real estate partner long after the transaction has been completed.
You don't need to decide today.
If you're considering selling, a good first step is simply understanding what your property could realistically sell for and what strategy would give you the strongest position in the current Curaçao real estate market.
Whether you own a house, villa, apartment, waterfront property, investment property or building lot, our Keller Williams Curaçao team would be happy to discuss your options.
Let's talk about your property and determine the best strategy for your situation.
