If you are seeking to move, it is important to think carefully about how best to market your property. When the property market is buoyant, it is easy to think that you can cut back on the marketing of your home. Our experience tells us differently. A strong, tailor-made marketing campaign planned and delivered by professional estate agents will help you achieve the best price, irrespective of market conditions. With a number of estate agents and solicitor firms marketing properties locally you should ask yourself the following questions….
• Do they have a dedicated team of property professionals?
(If so, they will work at selling your property and not have other work distracting them.)
• Do they have dedicated estate agency offices?
(Their commitment to selling property can be measured by whether their sales team have dedicated offices in which to work where information about properties for sale are readily accessible)
• How noticeable are their “For Sale” boards; how many have you seen?
(If you have noticed their “For Sale” boards, then prospective buyers will notice the one displayed at your property when it comes onto the market. This will help capture interest from those not currently actively looking.)
• Do they have a good understanding of the market place; have they sold much recently?
(If they have not sold many properties recently, they may not have up-to-the minute knowledge of the market, which may mean that you do not set the appropriate price for your property.)
• Do they offer a good marketing package; have they discussed what may/may not be appropriate?
(You should be looking for an agent with a strong database of clients actively looking for property, a good website, a strong sales team who will act quickly in getting information out and follow up enquiries, regular, prominent property ads in the local press and so on.)
• Is the property team backed by a team of dedicated in-house property lawyers?
(An in-house legal resource will ensure that your transaction is completed efficiently and under one roof.)
