Let's face it, selling your home can be one of the biggest events of your life. When you put your home on the market, you want to make sure that it’s in good hands. Choosing an Estate Agent can be a difficult decision - So what are the things you should look for when choosing one?
First off you should make sure that they know your local area. See who's active in the market. Don’t just look for 'For Sale' signs in your area, pay attention to who has 'Sold' signs.
Ensure that the agent is experienced in the market you are selling into. Ask your agent what kind of qualifications / experience they have and if they belong to a professional estate agent organisation for example the I.A.V.I.
Most importantly trust your gut instinct! Make sure that you like the agent and that you feel that you can work with them. You will have a lot of contact with the agent throughout the sale of your property so it’s important that you feel that you can talk to them.
