Brokered sale · For sellers

Sell for what your car is really worth.

A brokered sale from start to finish: we handle preparation, professional photos, listing and paperwork. You only decide on the price.

Selective by design

We don't take every car — only those we can present with pride. That focus is what earns you a better price.

Definition

What is car brokerage?

In a brokered sale the broker does not sell the car in their own name. Our job is to bring you and the buyer together: we prepare the car, photograph it, write the listing, deal with enquiries and handle the paperwork. The sale contract is concluded between you and the buyer.

In practice that means the car stays in your possession until it sells, the buyer’s money lands directly in your account, and the fee falls due only once the car is sold. Consignment works differently — there the intermediary sells in their own name, on your account.

Why brokerage

You hand over nothing.

  • Keep driving

    The car stays in your possession until it sells. No sitting on someone else’s lot — use it as normal.

  • The money comes to you

    The buyer’s money lands in your account. It never routes through ours.

  • The car stays unencumbered

    We don’t take it onto our own account or hold it as security. No claim of ours attaches to it.

  • You pay for the result

    The brokerage fee falls due once the car is sold.

  • You set the price

    We agree the asking price together and every offer reaches you. Nothing is decided without you.

  • The enquiries come to us

    We handle the listing, the photos and the calls from interested buyers. You arrange the viewing directly with a serious one.

Your car goes to brokerage, not consignment — the sale is concluded in your name and the car stays in your possession. What’s the difference? →

Frequently asked

Brokerage, briefly.

What is the difference between brokerage and consignment?

In brokerage the sale contract is concluded between you and the buyer — the broker brings the parties together. In consignment the intermediary sells in their own name, on your account. That determines in whose name the deal is made, when the fee falls due and who is liable to the buyer. We are brokers.

What does car brokerage cost?

The brokerage fee is tied to the sale price and falls due only once the car is sold. No sale, no fee. You get an exact quote together with the valuation.

Do I have to hand the car over while it is for sale?

No. The car stays in your possession until it sells and you can keep using it as normal. We do not take it onto our own account or hold it as security.

Who receives the buyer’s money?

You do, directly. The buyer’s money never routes through our account.

What kind of cars do you take on?

Mainly cars with an active or recently-expired factory warranty. We don’t take on every car — we take the ones we can present honestly.

Do I stay a private seller?

Yes. The sale contract is concluded between you and the buyer, so you sell as a private person. We are the broker, not the seller.
