Our Valuations are free without obligation.

STEP 2 – SELECTING AN ESTATE AGENT
When choosing an agent consider their opening hours, when they will be available to conduct viewings, their local presence and what kind of marketing your property will receive. These are critical to obtaining the maximum exposure and price for your property.
Another important thing to consider when selecting an agent is their period of sole agency. There is no doubt that a sole agency is far preferable to asking lots of agents to market your property, particularly in terms of accountability. But some agents insist on a sole agency tie-in period of 8, 12, or even 16 weeks! Our question is… why? Read about our FREEDOM contracts here.
