Selling your house?  What's the first thing you do when they think about selling your house? You work out what it's worth. Everybody does it. You jump onto Google, look at similar properties, have a look at your own house, think about how much you paid, then think of a figure. Thing is, your idea of your property's value affects almost everything in the selling process. It influences your choice of agent and selling solution. It affects your listing price. It colours the relationship you have with your chosen agent. It determines how long your property stays on the market and it influences your final selling price. That’s why it’s disastrous if you get the valuation wrong. Over-pricing leads to problems such as being on the market too long and having to reduce the price.

Here’s the truth; they’re not, and they don’t.  Of course, how you sell your home is entirely your choice you don’t have to go with a traditional estate agent.   You may choose ...

 Maybe you’ve wondered ‘can I change estate agents?’ Well, if you’re thinking that, it’s likely your agent isn’t performing as well as you’d want. When you listed your property, you were probably promised the world and they stroked your ego by valuing your house at more than you expected. Truth is, they were only doing that to get you on their books. Now you’ve been on the market for a while, people are wondering why your house hasn’t sold yet.  If time is marching on and you’ve had little interest in your property, you’re likely getting itchy feet. Why leave your agent? Your agent may have mentally given up and moved on to new properties when yours is no longer ‘flavour of the month’. Your listing is moving further down search listings and changing agents means a marketing refresh.   If you choose to leave your estate agent, a new description and set of photos can breathe life into your listing and gives you a chance to reassess the price.
