The majority of people choose to sell their home through an estate agent. Quite simply your home is your most important asset; therefore it should be dealt with by a professional in order maximise its value and exposure to the marketplace.
Here are some of the advantages of using an Estate Agent: - Your home will be appraised by an agent who will be an expert within your area, with knowledge of local values, making sure you pitch your asking price at the right level.
- Your agent will advise you how to present your home to its best advantage in order to maximise each viewing that takes place.
- Your agent will take good quality photographs and prepare sales particulars on your behalf, highlighting your home's advantages; agents also produce floor plans and virtual tours, further increasing your chance of selling
- Erecting a for sale board which will direct all enquires to the agent on your behalf.
- Only estate agents can advertise your home on Radarhomes.co.uk
- An agent will be able to accompany viewings on your behalf; this will provide you with continuity on each and every viewing that takes place.
- An agent can negotiate any offers that are made on your home on your behalf; this can be a very difficult thing to do yourself. This is probably the most critical part of the sales process and if you get it wrong will cost you thousands of pounds, best to leave this to the experts!
- Once a sale has been agreed, the agent will "chase the sale" through to completion, dealing with surveyors and solicitors on your behalf. Once the sale has completed, the agent will arrange the handing over of keys etc.
