CHOOSING A BURTON UPON TRENT ESTATE
AGENT
- Contact at least three estate agents before making your
decision on which to use.
- Check the estate agent belongs to an organisation such as
the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), the Royal Institute of Chartered
Surveyors or the Ombudsman for Corporate Estate Agents (OCEA) scheme.
Most Burton upon Trent Estate Agents will belong to these organisations but it is
definitely worth you checking just to be sure as such memberships gives you both comfort
and protection.
- Have any of your friends or relatives used an estate
agent
in recently? If the agent did a good job it will certainly be worth you considering
using them too.
- If possible, choose an estate agent that sells or
specialises in your type of property.
- A good Burton Upon Trent estate agent will answer the
telephone and e-mails quickly so when you first contact them, take note of how
efficient they are.
- If an agent has a website to advertise your property, find
out how quickly details are posted - it should be within 24 hours.
- Check how long the agent has been operating in the
Burton Upon Trent area.
- Ask how and where they will advertise your property.
- Ask if the agent already has a list of buyers waiting for
a property like yours.
- Ask how long it has taken them to sell similar property in
Burton.
- Find out what the estate agency does if it cannot find a
buyer for your home.
- Ask what type of contracts they offer - sole, joint or
multiple - and if there are any penalties in changing estate agents.
- Ask for the rate of commission the estate agent will
charge but remember that the cheapest is not always the best. Your Burton Upon Trent
estate agent will need to give the service you need and want as well as be reasonably
priced.
- Agree with the agent the top 10 selling points of your
property.
- Although no qualifications are needed to be an estate
agent, some do have training. Ask if your agent has had any.
Before putting your house on the market, you should make sure that you have done everything you
can to ensure your house sells as quickly as possible and for as much money as
possible.
