What to look for in your estate agent

We have put together a short list of what we feel should be the key requirements of any good estate agent:

Experienced staff with local market knowledge
Local High Street office and point of contact
Modern user-friendly website
Multi-media marketing – including newspapers, magazines, social media and blog
Properties listed on Rightmove, Zoopla AND Prime Location portals
Strong local brand profile
Accompanied viewings always provided
Post-offer sales support from experienced estate agents
Floor plans included on property particulars
Professional Photography
Distinctive For Sale and To Let Boards
Members of reputable profession bodies

Lastly, always remember to ask your agent what their marketing plans will be IF your property remains unsold after 60 days. All too often a property can be overpriced just to win an instruction and you could be left in a long term contract with a property unsold!
