Selecting a company to sell your biggest asset, your home, can seem a daunting prospect. Yet according to Marie-Claire Bruning, member of the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA) and Director of Bullock and Lees (Southbourne) Ltd, your choice can be made much simpler by following a few straightforward rules.
Contact us about your property
The first and most essential principle is to make sure your agent belongs to a professional and accredited organisation such as the NAEA. All of its members are bound by rules of conduct to offer you a fair deal, without overvaluing your home. They also provide access to a complaints procedure and a solid understanding of the market. Selecting an agent who is a member therefore ensures peace of mind, as well as the highest level of integrity and service.
Good estate agents will answer telephone calls and emails quickly and will have examples of returning clients to prove the quality of their service. A great estate agent will bring a list of buyers with them, and will have a contingency plan in place in case it cannot find a buyer.
When you find your agent, agree the top five selling points of your property and what kind of contract you sign. As to see comparisons of valuations and actual sale prices in the area, and find out whether your house will be marketed in print and online. Finally, make sure you get on well with your chosen estate agent - this will be invaluable if your house sale is long and emotional!
