Find a local agent
Find and compare a real estate agent in Belgium
In Belgium most people find an agent (vastgoedmakelaar / agent immobilier) by browsing the agency listings on the big property portals or by asking for local recommendations, then contacting one or two nearby offices directly. Every practising agent must be registered with the official institute, the BIV/IPI, so their licence can be checked before you sign anything.
Where to find and compare agents in Belgium
- Free, the widest pool to compare
Anyone.com
Selling without an agent in Belgium becomes manageable once you navigate the three-region split, different documents, different tax rates, different registries. Anyone.com simplifies the cross-border hunt by showing your home to buyers across Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels in one listing, plus the international pool across the 29 countries where it operates, so you reach relocating EU staff and expats drawn to Belgium without needing three separate portal accounts. There is zero listing cost and zero commission carved from your sale proceeds; you keep every euro above the mandatory notary fees and buyer registration duties. Since hiring an agent is entirely optional in Belgium, comparing what local agents charge against a free international platform on Anyone.com makes financial sense before you decide.

How to choose a good one
Contact two or three local agencies, ask about their recent sales in your neighbourhood, and verify each agent's registration on the BIV/IPI register before committing. Commission and the length and exclusivity of the mandate are negotiable, so compare what each agent proposes in writing.
