Is It Time to Change Your Estate Agent
Buying or selling a house can be a daunting process. It is only natural to rely on your estate agent to guide you through this process, but what if your estate agent isn't doing enough to help you? This might be a sign that it’s time for you to consider changing your estate agent.
In this blog post, we will discuss the top reasons why you should consider changing your estate agent.
Communication is one of the key factors in any business relationship, and the same is true for estate agents. If your estate agent is not communicating with you regularly and giving you updates on the marketing of your home, it can be frustrating and concerning. It would be best to speak to your estate agent about your concerns first, but if there is no improvement, you may want to look at other options.
If your house has been on the market for a while and you aren't receiving enough property viewings, it maybe worth looking into changing your marketing strategy. Estate agents have access to a broad network of buyers. If they are not attracting enough buyers, it could be that your estate agent lacks the right strategies, marketing techniques and is not putting enough effort into selling your house. It’s essential to have an estate agent who will go above and beyond in marketing and showcasing your property.
An excellent estate agent has a record of achieving high sales rates, which is a clear indication of their proficiency. You need an estate agent who knows what they are doing and has experience of selling properties like yours. You can ask for their past sales records, and if you see that they are not selling as many properties as you would like, it's time to make a change.
If your estate agent doesn’t put much research or have much knowledge into your property's valuation, then it's time to start shopping around for a new estate agent. It’s essential to have an estate agent who can give you clear advice on how to enhance your property's value prior to your property re-launch. This way you are more likely you are to get the best price for your property.
Finally, the most crucial aspect to consider is professionalism. If your estate agent is consistently unprofessional, neglectful or does not follow through with your requests and their promises to you then they’re not the right agent for you. A trustworthy estate agent will always have your best interests in mind and is committed to ensuring a smooth and successful sale or purchase. Trust is so important.
Changing estate agents can be a slightly daunting process, but if you're facing issues such as poor communication, lack of viewings, poor sales record, lack of knowledge market conditions and property valuations, and broken promises, then it’s time to do some research and find an estate agent that will give you the support and expertise you need. Buying or selling a property is a huge commitment, and having an estate agent who takes that as seriously as you do is crucial.
