OK. So you want sell/Let your House? You open the Times and Citizen to see the plethora of Agents and their offerings.
Some say sold/Let or under offer/similar available so why advertise? Truth is they are not selling/letting houses they are selling their service to you as a prospective Vendor.
They are trying to build their creditability by demonstrating that they can Sell a house like yours. Its all a ruse, so you contact them for a Market Appraisal.
Reality is nowadays a lot of propertoes are sold/let via the Internet through property portals like Rightmove, Zoopla, Prime Location, Homes24 etc etc etc. The internet's reach is vast, the Local Paper not so.
But people buy from People not some Url: up in Cyberspace.
So I maintain the first question to ask any Prospective Agent is who I am dealing with? Who will be shaking my hand and guiding me through this process?
Many big Nationals have complex structures with teams of staff dealing with the various stages of the Process. Not very consumer focused. A bit like a production line.
Consequently, you might find that, although you were very impressed with Richard who came out to see you and initially took your Instruction.In reality you never see him again and End up dealing with Tom, Dick and Sally who are based 20 miles away at Head Office.
Lets face facts, we are dealing with probably the single most Valuable Asset you have, so you should really be spending some quality time deciding who to Entrust with its Sale or Rental.
Please feel free to contact me and share your thoughts and concerns regarding choosing the right Agent to Market your Property
