In this short article we look at how people choose their Estate Agent
- Capability and market knowledge top the list of how prospective home buyers choose their agent according to results of the 2020 Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey analysed by Dataloft.
- Confidence in ability was rated by more homemovers than any other single quality and far outweighed the 19% who included 'lowest fee' in their top 5.
- ‘Liked and trusted’ (69%) and ‘handled similar properties’ (59%) complete the top 5 which remain consistent across all different age groups.
- Younger buyers, aged up to 34, were more likely however to include portals, fees and ratings in their top 5 choices. Source: Dataloft, Property Academy Home Moving Trends Survey 2020, % of respondents
