When you decide to sell your home the array of estate agents
vying for your custom can often be bewildering. They often appear
to broadly offer the same range of services with promises of unrivalled
service, aggressive marketing campaigns, proven success in the
area, a dedication to selling your property for the best possible
price.
So how do you choose? Do you go with the market dominant agent?
The one who advertises more properties in the local paper than
anyone else? The one with the most branded minis prowling the
streets? Do you ask friends and family about their experiences?
Or go for the cheapest?
If truth be told, you should probably consider all of the above.
But the experiences of others count for a lot. Whilst putting
this site together we asked friends and family how they would
choose their next agent. "Personal referral" came the
unequivical response.
What about review sites on the internet? was our response, in
light of what we were attempting to put together at Grab the Ladder.
"Full of complaints" was the answer. And it's true -
most internet review sites are full of complaints about estate
agents. Rarely a good word is spoken about them.
Partly this is because people only bother to write if they want
to let off steam about their horrific experiences, and let's be
honest, estate agents haven't got the best of reputations. However,
we firmly believe that there are friendly, efficient and highly
professional estate agents out there and the aim of this site
is to highlight them. Of course we expect negative reviews but
we're also encouraging the estate agents themselves to ask satisifed
clients to write positive reviews.
We're aiming for a balance of opinion so you can choose your
estate agent with confidence.
We hope this site proves useful. |
