Choosing an Estate Agent |
|
![]() |
You can’t beat word of mouth, so ask friends, family and neighbours who have moved recently about their experiences. Create a shortlist of local Estate Agents – what professional bodies do they belong to? Some key names to look out for are the Ombudsman for Estate Agents (OEA), the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA). Pay them a visit – check out their premises, is the office clean and professional? Do they have well presented property displays in the window? Ask to see examples of property details so you can see what yours will potentially look like. Narrow down your list to approximately three agents who you want to invite to carry out a valuation. The highest valuation is not necessarily the best, as an over-priced house will not sell! |
