WHO SHOULD SELL MY HOME?
You’ve decided to put your property on the market, choosing an agent to do this can be a minefield. Here is a brief guide to ensuring you stay on the right path…
Buying a property is the single largest investment that most people undertake. So when the time comes to sell, as with any investment, you naturally want to achieve the best possible price – but who is going to achieve that for you?
How do you know which agent will work
hardest in generating the best possible outcome? Deciding who is up to the job is not an easy task, and separating marketing fact from fiction can make this decision even harder. It is very safe to say that not all estate
agents are the same. So how do you choose the right one for you? The first and probably easiest step is to go online. A quick review of all the major property portals (Right Move, Find a Property, Prime Location etc) will highlight the agents in your area who have the larger market share. This probably also means they have the largest database of waiting buyers and will be a great first port of call. A more traditional and equally effective way of comparing the different agent’s ability and success is to observe the number of SOLD boards on show in your area. Are there certain names that you always see? Also look how agents market themselves and the property they’re selling. The internet is again the main source for finding
buyers; so see how many websites your local agent is on to gauge their success levels. Buyers are now far more mobile and will not just be local but could be from anywhere in the world. The number of offices they have and whether they work locally, regionally, by county, nationally or internationally will determine how effectively your property gets sold.
Once you have looked at their market presence and activity it is time to look at the individuals that make up your local team. After all, it is no use if they have hundreds of other offices if the local one is staffed with inexperienced negotiators. Having a skilled and trusted negotiator working on your behalf is of the utmost importance. Source the finest to achieve the best possible outcome in a property sale.
