Advantages: As an Estate Agent I have inside knowledge

Disadvantages: You may not always like what I have to say

As a proactive a truthful estate agent I would like to suggest the following when trying to select an Estate agent to sell your home...
1. Try to look past agents commission.
2. Register yourself as a buyer in person with all the agents and note the level of contact.
3. Enquire about a property on their website and see if they call you back.
4. Find out how the staff get paid, are they incentivised to get YOU the best price.
5. Staff experience - once your sale gets agreed will they have the level of experience to sort out problems with leases etc..
6. is the manager based in the office - a good manager will make sure the office is making outbound calls to generate business.
7. Remember a good agent will get you a good £3,000 - 5,000 more depending on their ability to reason and negotiate and this will far outweigh the difference in fee.

Summary: As an agent I constantly find people who have had bad experiences with agents - I would like to help
