I want to use you but another agent has quoted me a cheaper fee. What shall I do?
Be careful about choosing a 'cheap' agent and try to base your decision on who you trust to sell
possibly one of
your most expensive assets. Our local knowledge combined with highly trained staff and a passion
for property
creates an unrivalled service from our 3 local offices. It's less about the commission fee you
pay to us and more
about the amount you end up with once your home is sold. For example: a cheaper less experienced
agent may well
not achieve as high a price for your property leaving you out of pocket by much more than the
difference in
commission. We try to keep our commission fee at a fair and competitive level but we need to
make sure we are
still able to offer you the service both you and your property deserve.
I want to sell but I was expecting a higher valuation. What are the options?
Valuations are subjective, they're not an exact science, and so it is natural that opinions will
differ. When
valuing, our job is to give you an evidence-based estimate of the valuation range but if you
want your property
marketed at above, or below, our valuation range you just need to tell us - you're the boss! A
word of warning
though... It's important to base your asking price on the current market conditions and
comparable properties that
have recently sold or those which will be your competition on the market otherwise you could
damage your sales
prospects in the long run.
I want to instruct you but I'm not ready to put the property on the market yet. What should I
do?
That's great news, you can still click the 'Instruct Us' button and we will be in contact to
arrange the timing
for us to come and take your property details. In the meantime we can keep your property in mind
should we come
across a suitable buyer.
I would like to sell with you but I don't want people to know I'm selling. What would you
suggest?
We would be happy to have your property listed on our discreet marketing service, but we will
still need a
signed contract for us to talk to potential buyers about your property. We have achieved many
successes with this
type of marketing, however it does not compare with the extensive marketing that our full
service provides and you
may miss out on getting the best possible price for your property by restricting us from using
all off our
marketing channels.
Why do I need an agent to sell my property? Isn't it just a matter of putting it on the
internet?
Couldn't I just use on online agent?
It's no different to many professions:- You may be capable of changing the brake pads on your car
and you may be
confident about doing so, but why would you risk it if you didn't have to? The marketing of your
property needs to
be done right, but that's just the beginning. A good agent will speak to buyers on your behalf,
carry out the
viewings, negotiate on your behalf, work with all parties to progress the sale through to the
exchange of
contracts and finally to completion. Most people only move every 7-10 years so are not
experienced enough to do
all of the job whereas we do it dozens of times every single month. Our local team and knowledge
can never be
replaced by an online agent. We would also never recommend paying any commission up front for an
online agent.
