There is no doubt that you will usually get the best price for your home if you sell via an
estate agent. Local agents have specialist knowledge and will often have a list of people waiting for properties like
yours.
However, you may find that an agent will find you a buyer who makes an offer, only to pull out later. When selling via an agent
you have no idea how motivated your buyer is. Many buyers will put in offers on more than one property and then pull out later.
Remember that you will need to pay your own legal fees and estate agents commission (usually around 2% of the selling price).
Selling via Estate Agents
Tell the agent if you need a fast sale
If your time is limited, this might be a problem
Enlist with multiple agents to help widen the net of buyers
Be prepared to take a discounted offer
Always make sure that your buyer has the finance ready to complete before accepting an offer
What Are My Options?
Give yourself a fixed time scale. If you are unable to sell during that time, you need to look at alternatives
if you are facing repossession. Estate Agents will have lists of potential buyers in your area, already screened as realistic
buyers, and most agents advertise weekly in local newspapers.
