Compare Estate Agents Services & Fees

When it comes to appointing an estate agent, remember: they want your business, so negotiating is the key.With Estate Agency Fees Direct finding the right estate agent is easy. As well as Residential Sales fees we're also the perfect place to compare other estate agency services like Valuations, Conveyancing, Surveys & Home Information Packs (HIPs).

Once you have found potential agents follow these guidlines to ensure you are making the right choice:

• Do they advertise in the local newspapers on a regular basis - If so, is it a colour ad and how often would your property be advertised.
• Do they list their properties on websites such as www.rightmove.co.uk & www.globrix.com and do they include full details of their properties.
• Is there office in a good location, with good window displays?
• Are their details produced in colour, with internal and external photos?
• How many buyers do they have registered that are looking for your type of property and in your price bracket.
• Do they have comparable properties to show you to back up their valuation?
• Do they provide an opportunity for all of their sales staff to view your property to familiarise themselves with the property that they will be selling - how can you sell a property to its full potential if you haven't seen it?
• How often they make contact with their Vendors with updates on viewings, marketing and generally to keep in regular contact with you - after all a Vendor who is ignored will not be a happy one and could potentially find alternative agents.
• Always check out their agency agreements - there are a lot of agents out there that want to 'tie you in' to a 12 week agreement. This is generally the case for the large chain estate agents; the independents do not generally have a tie in period. All they usually require is 2 weeks written notice.
• Finally, Go with your instincts - if you feel that a particular agent would promote your property better than the others then that could be the one to go for.
