When looking to list your property, it is important that you use a service that would tick all the boxes. In this article, we will explain exactly why you should use a local estate agent over the likes of a property portal listing, auction or nationwide estate agent.
One of the major draws for our clients is our locality to them. We have years of experience in the local area of Teesside and we have buyers and investors ready, on-hand to purchase property. If you’re looking to sell your property in Teesside, we believe that a local agent like ourselves would be by far the best option!
Is it worth selling a property via a local estate agent?
A local estate agent would use their knowledge and experience, in the specific area, to showcase your property to people who would most likely be interested. A local agent will already have access to instant property buyers and sellers, so if you are looking to sell your property fast this process is perfect.
Using a property portal to list your property may not be as good as you think. They aren’t technically local and don’t provide a service that would be tailored to your needs, meanwhile taking a large cut in fees. What a lot of people do not understand is that by listing your property with a local agent, they are extremely likely to also list your property on a portal. This is a win-win for the homeowner as they get their property marketed by the agent’s website and also they get a portal listing that is managed by the local agent who has vast experience!
A property auction also has its disadvantages. Although this is a quick way to sell your property, a major drawback of a property auction is that a property is typically sold for lower than it is worth due to lack of interest. There are also high fees that take away from your final cash figure when using an auction. At Horizon we can also sell your property quickly but it does not come at the cost of a huge fee.
Local knowledge
A local estate agent will have great experience in that area, meaning they will know the market extremely well. With great experience, a local estate agent will know the correct marketing techniques and will use their knowledge to implement your needs into their service. Being local would also mean the agent is highly trusted in the area, giving you comfort in your decision.
Professional service
As previously mentioned, a local estate agent would have amazing experience in a specific area. The experience would add a great deal to your service, as they would know exactly what to do for the best results. With experience also comes the pros and cons of their past management. However, as a whole, this is a huge positive! This would mean they could provide you with great guidance as to what works best with factors such as pricing, marketing and more.
The comprehensive service that would be delivered by an estate agent would be exceptional compared to only using property portal or an auction. Local estate agents give you a more personal service, covering every aspect needed to gain the best results, all while they deal with the stress. We believe that being personable, easily contactable and highly experienced within the local community can help profoundly with selling your property.
