Comments from recent clients
Leaving a property on the market for weeks with no real buyer interest is likely to have a significant negative effect on the eventual sale price. Timely advice from me can help you avoid this happening
This is often caused by poor initial advice or inappropriate marketing made worse by a breakdown in communication between seller and agent. Don’t let this happen to you.
If you are on, or about to be, on the market – let me make some specific and useful observations pinpointing significant improvements that can be made to the marketing of your home.

Some typical questions, challenges and issues that I can help you with
Is my home ready to go on the market?
Am I giving away real value and profit to our buyer? Could I make our house more valuable? Should I get planning permission for the extension first?
How do I choose an Estate agent?
Which agent is likely to be more successful? Do I choose a one office firm, a regional or national network? Online or a High street agent? Do I choose more than one?
How do I handle Estate agents ‘valuation’ visits?
When should the agent come and value? How do I compare each estate agents opinion?
How do I decide what price to ask for my home?
Do I go with the highest valuation? How do I make sense of their comparable evidence? Should I quote a ‘fixed’, ‘guide’, ‘in excess of’ or ‘in the region of’ price?
How do I evaluate the agents marketing contract?
Will I be able to sack them easily if they don’t perform? What is a Sole agency? Multiple agency? Joint sole agency? Sub agency? What are ‘Sole Selling Rights’?
What commission fees should I agree to pay?
How high or low should they be? What extras included in the fee? Do I have to pay if they don’t introduce my buyer? Do I offer a success incentive?
How well will my property be presented?
How important are property web portals?
How important are property web portals?
Good write up or lazy incomplete web portal entry? Should I opt for a Premium or Featured Rightmove listing?
Handling of enquiries, viewing and offers?

To get some FREE initial help and advice, give me some basic information about your property on the form and I will give you some useful feedback, specific to your property, in return.
