Sell your property in time for Christmas!
If you want to sell your home before Christmas, now's the time to be putting your property onto the market, and with low stock of properties and high demand there isn't a better time to be doing so!
With the higher number of sales in the last year, this has eroded supply.
The market is moving nearly twice as quickly as in 2016, with time it is taking to sell at 26 days down from 49 days in 2019.
Before you place your property on the market,
Here are 6 tips to to choose the right agent for you:
Choose the best estate agent:-
1.Track Record. Go with an agent who has a good local reputation and experience in selling properties, and don't just take the agents word for it , a good agent will have client testimonials.
2. Fees and costs. It may be tempting to go with the agent with the lowest fee - but be wary. Low-fee agents skimp on marketing and photography.(it’s the only way they can do the job for such a low price and stay afloat). They may also have a smaller sales team so they won’t be able to provide that level of focus which is required to provide you with the expected service offering. That might be good for their business model, but it’s terrible for your bank balance.
3.Professional marketing. Buyers do so much of their research online that an agent must have a professional digital presence. Compare how local agents in Attleborough present properties for sale. Look for good quality photography and well-written property descriptions.
4.Read the fine print. Be wary of agents who want to tie you in for an excessive period. It suggests they don’t have confidence in their own abilities.
5.Valuation. If an agent vows to sell your property for a sum that is jaw-droppingly higher than market value, be suspicious. Most likely, they’re over-promising to lure you in and will have to drop the price later when savvy buyers don’t fall for it. This tactic just wastes time. Go with an agent who is optimistic but realistic.
6.Gut instinct. Do you trust the agent or feel like they’re pulling a fast one on you? Follow your instincts.
