Tips for Hiring a Guildford Estate Agent

It is a good idea to hire a Guildford estate agent if you are planning on selling your home. But is also imperative that you choose an estate agent that can deliver. Do your research and do not pick the first agent that you come across.

While researching, most people make how much an estate agent charges a top priority. Never let a low price be the only factor in deciding which Guildford state agent to work with. If you find a good agent who is also extremely affordable, that's a plus. But finding an agent who specializes in getting results should be the aim.

The reputation of the estate agent and the estate agency is something that you should be looking for while researching. With so much information about people online you should be able find out anything you need to know. You should also ask the people you know about a particular agent. But most importantly, look at the estate agent's sales. Set outside a couple of weeks to monitor agents you are interested in and see how good they are at selling homes that are currently on the market. 

After completing your research, it's time to meet with your estate agent. They shouldn't have the job just yet as you still need to ask a few questions. Question them about how they handle customer service issues. Question them about the technology they use and if they have the technology that an estate agent would need to compete in today's market. Discuss the services that you can expect and ask for a list of them.

The majority of Guildford estate agents work on commission. That's definitely a good thing for the client. It means that the client won't have to pay anything until they see results. But if you have concerns about how much work an estate agent is willing to do on commission, make sure they offer the follow: free visits and valuations, free marketing packets, free advertising and free communication and negotiation with interested buyers.

After finding the right Hamptons in Guildford estate agency, know exactly what they expect to be paid. Again, the estate industry is commission based. Once you house sells, they will then go back and charge you for the work that they did. You should get a list of the charges for each service separately as well as a grand total. That's another reason why you should not be totally influenced by the price an estate agent charges One agent might charge more than another agent but after examining the two services you might see that things are not how they appear. The higher priced agent may, in the end, be a better value because he offers more services for you money.
