Selling your home can be a stressful and difficult process, so we’ve put together some top tips to make choosing your estate agent one of the easy aspects of the big move.
What should I look for in an estate agent?
⦁ You’ll want to use an estate agent with a big online and offline presence. Estate agents with a comprehensive marketing plan will attract many prospective buyers both online and on the high street. Find an agent that does both well and shares listings with other property portals such as Zoopla and Rightmove for maximum coverage.
⦁ An agent with a local office. Agents with a local office will be able to source more buyers from local areas to view and potentially purchase your property.
⦁ A personal touch. Make sure you meet with your agent, or get to know them well over the phone if you’re unable. Test their knowledge of the market and local area and their service standards – this will be the true measure of finding a quick, stress-free sale versus a drawn-out and exhausting process.
⦁ Technology. Does the estate agent have easy-to-use apps, websites and social media accounts? Are they accessible and easy to communicate with? Great agents will give you real-time updates on viewings and offers so you’re fully in the know at every stage. Some even allow you to deal with solicitor letters and offers instantaneously and electronically.
⦁ Number of registered buyers. This is an obvious one, but make sure your agent has a high number of buyers for maximum visibility and the greatest number of potential leads. These buyers will often sign up for alerts, updates and ‘matches’ depending on the agent, so as soon as your property goes live, it could be in thousands of inboxes within a few hours.
In sum, a good agent will find you the best possible offer for your property in the shortest time. They’ll see the sale through to completion and support you every step of the way.
We wish you the best of luck with your property sale and hope these tips help you on your way to your new home.
