How do I choose the best estate agent?

An estate agent should be judged on more than just their price - a good estate agent will ensure that your house is valued correctly and negotiate the best price for your home. Selling your home for 5% less than it's worth would cost you up to 20x more than any savings made by trying to sell with a 'cheap estate agent'.

Thankfully, we've built a tool which takes the hassle away from the entire process and ensures that you only get in touch with some of the best rated estate agents.

What kind of estate agent should I choose?

With the advances in technology, new estate agent models are becoming more popular.

Independent Estate Agent

An independent estate agent is more likely to have local knowledge and local knowledge goes a long way when selling your home. They often provide a specialist and more tailored service.

National Estate Agent

One of the biggest advantages of a national estate agent is their high profile, although, by their very nature, a national estate agent may lack specific local expertise. We only choose the best agent based on their local feedback.

Online-Only Estate Agent

Online only estate agents simply list your property on the main portals. They typically charge a fixed fee upfront and don’t charge commission which can appear enticing. You are left to manage the process which can be stressful and may leave your with an overall lower selling price.

Hybrid Estate Agent

These are a mix of high street and online agent but the focus is far more digital. This model holds automation in high regard - this can create cost efficiencies that benefit the consumer. For example, you may use their website to book a valuation, reducing their admin, and your costs.

What makes a good estate agent?

Having the experience and market knowledge.

Timing of offer acceptance can be crucial. Accept an offer too early, and you may be missing out on buyers that are willing to offer more. Hold out for too long, and you could lose genuine interest and offers could start coming in lower the longer your home stays on the market. A good estate agent will have market knowledge and experience to best advise you on how to maximise offers on your property.

A track record of positive results and feedback.

There are many reason why a particular estate agent may be gaining a large market share. Great estate agents can back up what they say by demonstrating a track record of successful sales and positive feedback. Although having a large volume of properties on the market can be seen as a sign of success, customer feedback can shine a light on if homemovers are happy with the service received.

Prioritising value over being a cheap agent.

The best estate agents focus less on undercutting their competitor's estate agency fees and focus more on the value they can provide to you and the sale of your home for a fair fee. If an estate agent is quick to start lowering their selling fees it can bring in to question their ability to negotiate and secure the best possible price for your home.

Great pictures and great presentation.

Good estate agents will make sure your home is presented at its best for sale. This first impression can be truly important as it can be the difference between a potential buyer viewing a property or not. They will usually use professional photography equipment or even a dedicated photographer and advise you on how to stage rooms for best viewing.

How do I compare different estate agents?

We can help here a lot. Homemove compares various estate agency models in your area and provides transparency on aspects such as selling fees, average selling price vs the asking price and the time on market using property history amassed over the last 12 years.

What's the average estate agent fee?

Estate agency fees may vary from less than 1% to as much as 3.5%, depending on a multitude of factors - including how many estate agents are selling your property and the competition in your local area. Ultimately, fees are negotiable but shouldn’t be the deciding factor.

How do I put a value on my house?

An estate agent will be able to give you an expert view on how much your house is worth, setting it at the right price for your local market. Getting the price right is very important - if they undervalue by 5% for example that could be a real cost of between £12,500 - £50,000 depending on the sale price.

How long will it take to sell my house?

Our data suggests that the average time to sell your house from day one of marketing the property to legal completion is usually around four months. We will allow you to compare your local agent completion time against others.

Can I just sell my home by myself?

Selling and buying a property is usually the largest transaction that you will undertake. Very few of our customers, as it turns out, want to go down that route alone due to the risks of getting it wrong so we are here to help you choose the right partner who will get you the best price.
