🏡 Shortlisting the Best Agents for Your Valuation! ✅
In Part 1 of our Seller Journey series, we covered that first thought—maybe it’s time to move—and how many sellers start by getting an instant valuation or scouring Rightmove to estimate their home’s worth. 📊🏡
But now, you’re ready for the next step: inviting estate agents out to value your home. And this is where things get serious.
Choosing the right agents isn’t just about comparing fees—it’s about finding out who will give you the best chance of selling smoothly and for the right price. 💷✨
🔑 Key questions to ask yourself:
👉 How involved do I want to be? – Do I want to handle viewings, negotiations, and chasing solicitors myself, or do I want an expert to do it for me? 🤔
👉 Which agents actually get results? – Who has a track record of completing sales, not just listing properties? 📈
Many sellers are tempted by online agents because of their lower fees, but here’s a crucial point: Some clients on the advice of their estate agent won’t accept offers from buyers using online agents for their sale—especially if there’s a competing buyer with a full-service local agent. Why? Because online models often lack sales progression support, which can cause delays, failed sales, and collapsed chains. 😬💥
That’s why, in this episode, we talk to Sammie, one of our client care consultants, to reveal the real issues we’ve seen when online agents are involved in chains and why some buyers actually lose out because of it. 🚨
🏡 What should you look for in an agent?
✅ Reviews – Are clients happy with their service and communication? ⭐
✅ Responsiveness – How easy are they to get hold of? 📞
✅ Track record – Do they just list properties, or do they actually progress sales to completion? 🎯
