How an agent can assist
with the sale of your property.
Agents
are likely to find a buyer using the following means:
Internet marketing (increasing interest).
Regular advertising in National and local property press. (Note that some
property publications are only available for Agents to advertise and do
not accept private advertisements).
Leaflet drops.
For Sale boards.
Window displays.
Enquiries from various directories including Thomson's and Yellow Pages
including Yell.com
Mailing lists.
Personal visits to an office.
In a buyers market where there are a large number of properties
available, an Agent may speed up the process of finding a buyer by
successful marketing. In a
sellers market where demand outstrips supply, a house may sell itself with
little effort. Once a buyer is found, an Agent can act as a go between in
negotiating terms and a price. The Agent deals with the paperwork required
to notify solicitors and maintains a check on the progress of the sale
dealing with any delays or problems along the way.
