Before choosing an agent, here are six smart checks every seller should make:
1. Look at recent local sales
What similar homes nearby have actually sold for matters more than opinions.
2. Be realistic about improvements
A new kitchen or extension might help, but not every upgrade adds value.
3. Treat online estimates carefully
Automated valuations can be outdated and inaccurate.
4. Understand the current market
Buyer demand, interest rates and available homes all influence price.
5. Get three valuations
If one figure is far higher than the others, ask why.
6. Choose evidence over promises
The best agents explain the data behind their valuation.
Remember, the goal isn’t the highest valuation.
It’s the right price that attracts serious buyers who make concrete offers.
