Before you put your home or business on the estate market,
take a good deal of time to find an estate agent that can fit your unique
needs. Many people are misinformed, and will just hire any estate agent to try
and sell their home or business. Both the speed, and the price that you sell
your home or business for can be greatly impacted by the choice of which estate
agent you go with.
The first thing you need to make sure when looking for a
potential estate agent, is to make sure that you're comfortable around them.
Your estate agent will be coming to your home or business quite often, and if
you don't feel comfortable around them, it can become very difficult when
trying to work with them when selling your home or business. Your agent should
be very polite, and have an open and warming personality. The agent you choose
will be holding "open houses" on your property and will give tours to
potential buyers of the property. If your agent is rude, or harsh, a potential
buyer could choose not to buy your property just because of the way the agent
presented his or herself.
Finding an agent that has the time available to help you
out, and your property as well is very important. If you go a long time without
seeing your estate
agents in Notting Hill, it's probably a good idea to choose a new one,
because many agents handle a few different properties at the same time, and may
just not have the time to help you out. Before signing a contract or paperwork
similar to that, make sure you explain in detail all of your expectations for
the estate agent, and have the agent explain to you the ways in which they plan
to meet or exceed your expectations. It should be easy to get out of the
contract with the estate agent in the case of them not meeting your
expectations.
When scheduling things such as open houses, it is the agents
job to make those arrangements. Realize that is typically not a good idea to
have yourself or your family present when an open house is taking place. Some
buyers will feel uncomfortable making comments about the property if its owners
are present. If your agent claims that they can't attend an open house, you
should fire them on the spot. An estate agent will get a large commission from
selling your property, so make sure that they earn their money. If you start to
think that your estate agent is not doing everything they should on their part,
make sure you let them know. It's important you let them know what you want to
see them improve on. If your agent just isn't working up to your standards,
don't feel bad by hiring a different and better qualified agent. Call for the
