Questions You Should Ask An Estate Agent Before Instructing Them To Sell Your Rochester Property

September 16th, 2022

One of the most common questions I get asked is how homeowners in Rochester should be selecting their estate agent. Many people don’t want to base it solely around the the value that’s given to them for their home and also the fee that the Estate Agent is charging. But what are the other things you should be considering when selecting an estate agent?

  1. Who will you be dealing with throughout the process? Will the person you are meeting initially be seeing it through from start to finish or will you be passed from pillar to post within the office / company?
  2. How long is their contract length? One of the biggest problems in Estate Agency is overpromising and underdelivering. Anyone can say anything to you to secure the business but estate agency is a results industry. Once you have signed a contract most Rochester Estate Agents will have tied you in for a certain period of time, during which you will be unable to market your home with another company if results are not being produced. Make sure you know what your signing.
  3. How will they present your property? Marketing details are key to attracting buyers to book viewings. How do they present their properties and will this entice viewers through the door?
  4. What exposure will they give your property? Where will they be advertising it?

These are just 4 of several questions I would recommend asking a Rochester Estate Agent before employing them. To find out the others and how I can help sell your property please give me a call today on 07557783325.
