A good estate agent is the most important factor in helping you sell your home in Yorkshire.While having a clean, tidy and presentable house that people can imagine themselves living in (this means de-cluttering and removing some of your personal items) helps, the right estate agent will make all the difference to how quickly you can sell your house in Yorkshire.
So what should you look for? The quickest way to find out whether a particular agent or company is right for you is to invite them over for a valuation. Estate agents have a dreadful reputation for being untrustworthy, and this isn’t true in all cases, but do look out for someone who you feel might not be being truthful or straight with you. It is no small thing to sell your home in Yorkshire so you need to make sure you like and trust the person who is helping you do it.
The other thing you can suss out when the agent is valuing your home is how realistic their valuation of the property is. If they over-value it (and you will know what the average is after a few valuations), try to contain your excitement –they are probably giving you an inflated figure to get your business. The chances of them getting that price for your house will be slim.
Try to do some homework on the agents in your area. Who has the most properties for sale that are around in the same price bracket or similar as your home? Finding an experienced agency that has the largest presence in your area will help you to sell your house in Yorkshire.
Ask around friends and neighbours to see what they can recommend, and, just as importantly, who they suggest you stay away from!
Finding a good estate agent might take some work on your part, but it gives you a better chance of a more successful and smoother house sale.
