Advantages of using an Estate Agent

Date Published 06 December 2021

You might be wondering, 'should I use an estate agent to sell my property?'. Of course, you can go it alone and do it privately, but the majority of people do end up using one - and for good reason. Here we discuss the benefits of using an estate agent to manage and oversee the sale of your home:

1. Experience in the field. As agents are professionally trained and used to selling properties every day, you know you'll be in good hands.

2. Access to market knowledge. A good agent (particularly from a local estate agents) will know the local market inside out and be able to help you determine a suitable selling price based on their knowledge and understanding of similar properties in your area.

3. More exposure for your property. Your home will be shown on top portals such as Rightmove and OnTheMarket, giving it the best exposure across the country and increasing your chances of finding the right buyer for the best possible price.

4. Professional and level-headed negotiations. Estate agents help take the emotion out of selling your home. They will be realistic and stay cool when handling difficult negotiations.

5. They act as a safety net. If something goes wrong during the process, it's a lot more likely that your sale will go through if you use an estate agent as they're prepared for all sorts of unforeseen circumstances and scenarios. They know how to react quickly when things go awry.

6. Reduced stress. Moving home is known to be one of life's most stressful experiences, but it really doesn't have to be! By using a well-respected local estate agent, you will be guided through the whole process and save yourself a lot of time and stress. This will allow you to focus on other important aspects of moving, such as decluttering, organising removal vans, packing etc.
