24/7

The internet has changed property sales just like it's changed everything else in the world. These days, it's where most people start to look at different areas, property types and prices. The principal advantage to the internet being that we can connect with the biggest selection of potential buyers; locally, nationally and internationally. 

Traditional Estate Agents vs Online Estate Agents

If you are selling your property, you now have a choice of using a traditional estate agent based locally who will only charge a fee when they sell your property or online agents who will generally charge an upfront fee regardless of a sale. So, how do you know what is right for you and how do you ensure that you are getting the right service, experience and local knowledge to help you sell your property quickly and hassle free?

There are a number of important factors to consider:

Property Valuation

Ensuring your property goes onto the market at the correct price is crucial. This is where an estate agent who will visit your property and has in-depth knowledge of recent sale prices achieved in the local market will provide you with a more accurate valuation and help you achieve the optimal sale price for your property. An online agent won't always have this local knowledge and understanding of current market conditions. This could have a significant effect on the sale price you achieve. If the online agent doesn't get this right from the outset you could sell too cheaply or not achieve a sale.

Viewings

• Using an online agent will require the seller to show people around the property. Property viewings can be time consuming and will require greater flexibility. A traditional estate agent will accompany any potential buyers to view your property regardless of your availability.
• Would you be confident that a potential buyer was serious about your property and had the funding in place to make a purchase?
• Would you feel comfortable negotiating directly with the buyer and asking them about their personal financial circumstances?
• Could you address possible negative comments about your property in the way a traditional estate agent would?
• There are many twists and turns within the buying process and the experienced traditional estate agent will always convert more sales.

Sale & Completion Process

A traditional estate agent will also deal with the entire sale process from start to finish regardless of how long it takes or how complicated it becomes. This will save a great deal of time in the completion process between the seller, buyer, finance provider and conveyancers.
