No matter the reason you are selling your home, you want to sell your home for the best possible price. When you sell for a higher price, you have more confidence and freedom in your next move. Whether you are looking to upgrade your property, or you would like extra money to get more out of life, selling your home for the best possible price is the ideal outcome when you go to market.
Therefore, you should take steps that will help you sell your home quickly and effectively. One issue that matters is the choice of estate agent. We believe that local knowledge is essential in the property market and at Spencer Harvey, we are proud to say that we are your Stockport specialist estate agents.
We know and love the local area, which means that we help you connect with prospective buyers. This takes a lot of the stress out of selling a home and we’re pleased to say we have helped many homeowners to sell in a way that pleases them.
We’re also delighted to say that a recent study has outlined the benefits of calling on a High Street agent as opposed to an online-only agent. The Advisory is a consumer advice group in the property vendor sector and their findings suggest that High Street agents have outperformed online-only agents in many ways, including:
Compared to online-only agents, traditional estate agents enjoyed 48% more viewings
Compared to online-only agents, traditional estate agents generated 64% more offers
In 73% of cases, traditional estate agents earned a 5% higher price than online-only agents
There is confidence in working with a traditional estate agent and this is true for buyers and sellers. The study suggested that for a property selling for £250,000; a vendor using an online-only estate agent would receive £12,500 less than a vendor that selected a traditional estate agent.
It was found that online-only agents are heavily reliant on property portals directing interested buyers to them. With a traditional estate agent, there are more communication channels and at Spencer Harvey, we are pleased to say we do more to direct interested buyers to your property.
We believe that the emergence of the online property market is good for the industry, but it is not et at a stage where it can be relied on for everything. Right now, nearing the end of 2018, traditional estate agents still have the edge in helping vendors sell their home, and we are here to help you sell your property.
