    Contact information
  • Commissioning agreement

    The selling process begins with drafting a commissioning agreement with the broker. Prepare to provide the necessary information and to prove your identity with, for example, an electronic signature.

  • Smooth paper work through cooperation

    The broker indicates which documents are needed from the seller and at which points of the process. The broker will also help obtain the documents. The broker obtains the abstract of the register of mortgages and the registration of ownership, the cadastral certificate, and the official map of the property. It is recommended to always have an appraisal document of the property made. The appraisal document includes things such as the numbers of trees at the forest property, the areas of the forests in different stages of development, and information about the soil’s nutrient status.

  • Marketing the property

    Upon request, you can review the sales brochure and marketing materials drafted by the broker before the marketing process is started. In the Metsätilat.fi online service, exposure is guaranteed. In 2021, the site had 3.1 million visitors.

    After the bidding time has ended, the broker will inform you of the offers received.

  • Drafting a deed of sale and transferring the property

    You will either be given the deed of sale for review or an invitation to an electronic drafting service where you can give feedback on the draft of the deed of sale. The final trade practice shall be agreed together with the seller and buyer, and it can also be conducted fully electronically.
