The feasible scenarios will be presented, along with the current and future fiscal climate in Belgium. We discuss together, at your place or at a location of your choice, and review in detail the appropriate approach and the steps to be taken.

Platinum package details

The Platinum package is designed to provide a complete, tailor-made service to assist you with the sale of your private real estate trust, with continuous guidance throughout the process.

The return on investment for the fee is significant: not only will you have the peace of mind of knowing that an experienced buyer acts as your advocate on the sell-side, but you also gain access to comprehensive market insights (the market players, the buyers you should target and who they are, the valuation of your assets by local professionals, and the valuation of your shares based on those assessments).

Some consulting services are more than worth their cost, because the outcomes save you valuable time and often deliver financial gains. Properly targeting the demand and exploring available options often results in far superior returns compared to what you might achieve on your own, with limited insight.

The consulting fee for this package is based on the total value of the assets owned by your trust. It ranges between 3% and 6% of the asset value, based on their total value and typology.

For realtors and accountants

Let's serve the seller optimally together, so they experience their best possible exit.

Selling a real estate company as a whole is often the best option from the seller's standpoint, and for you as the realtor or accountant involved. Selling the shares of a company that holds, say, three properties means one transaction instead of three: financially and time-wise better for the seller, faster for you, and with a comparable commission outcome.

It also gives your client extra added value, and lets you take part in sales you might otherwise miss.

  • Gain market share by offering your clients an extra option.
  • Keep confidence and clarity through a process with parameters beyond your own expertise.
  • Lead your clients through the process without blind spots.

Why work together?

Added value for you. One share deal instead of several separate sales means a comparable commission for far less coordination, and a way to serve clients whose company sale would otherwise fall outside your usual scope. You stay your client's trusted contact; I bring the buyer-side experience.

Added value for the seller. My goal is that the seller experiences the sale of their real estate company with all the cards in hand and complete peace of mind. After analyzing thousands of real estate companies, meeting hundreds of sellers, and purchasing dozens, I put that experience at their service. By combining our expertise and staying firmly on the seller's side, we bring them the greatest value.

Frequently asked questions

What to expect when selling a company on behalf of your client?

You stay the seller's trusted point of contact. I bring the buyer-side view: how buyers value the shares, who the right buyers are, and how to run the whole thing as a single share deal, from the first documents to the effective transfer. Throughout, the seller's interests come first and we coordinate so nothing falls between us.

How is compensation handled when several parties assist the seller?

It is agreed transparently and up front. Your existing mandate and commission with the seller are respected, and the seller is never charged twice: each party is fairly compensated for the part they play. The exact arrangement depends on who does what, and is settled clearly before anything moves forward.

How does the selling process work?
  1. Sending over documents and information to the prospective buyer (after signing a possible confidentiality agreement, "NDA").
  2. First meeting, and viewing of the property or properties.
  3. The buyer sends out their offer.
  4. When the offer is accepted, the buyer sends a letter of intent, signed later once accepted by each party.
  5. Period of analysis of the company, also called Due Diligence (assets, liabilities, history…). Some buyers still negotiate at this stage based on what they discover.
  6. Drafting of a share transfer agreement (SPA, "Share Purchase Agreement").
  7. Signature of the agreement, register of shareholders, payment, and effective transfer of the company.
Can the owner sell some properties separately and the rest as a share deal?

Yes. It can be arranged before or during the transfer, depending on the seller's situation and the buyer's own flexibility.

Selling the shares vs each asset one by one: the pros and cons

In most cases, selling the company as a whole is the best option for everyone involved:

Financially. A share deal is usually lighter on tax. Since 2026 the seller is taxed on the gain on their shares, but not on the value built up until 31 December 2025, and a shareholder holding at least 20% has a 1,000,000 EUR exemption before a progressive rate starting at 1.25%. Selling each property, by contrast, triggers 25% corporate tax on the capital gain before the proceeds can even leave the company.

Time. One transaction with one buyer, instead of several separate sales.

A single, comprehensive solution. The buyer takes over the whole company, including any less attractive assets, rather than cherry-picking the best ones.

Clean settlement. Bank loans, current accounts and personal guarantees are all settled in one go at transfer.

Legal and notarial formalities. None are required for a share deal, though some parties still prefer to sign the SPA before a notary.

Does the sale have to go through a notary, like a regular property sale?

Not at all. A share deal has no such requirement, although some clients feel reassured signing the SPA at their notary's office.
