The debate of whether estate agents are worth the money has been a long standing debate. It really boils down to whether a seller has the time to arrange viewings and get personally involved in the selling process. However, there's a very good argument for not using them...and that's financial! With rates at between 1 and 3% you could save thousands of pounds buy going it alone.
Philofacts:
With the internet it is easier than ever before to sell you home yourself.
Estate Agents arrange viewings with you anyway and you have top be in etc etc
- if potential buyers do this you are just cutting out the middle man!
FirstTimeBuyerGuru:
The other thing is, and this won't suit everybody, but the seller and owner can sit down with a cup of tea and actually agree on a price rather than this longwinded back and forth between the estate agent, buyer and vendor. Also, the estate agent isn't necessarily going to have the answer to questions that only the vendor would know.
Philofacts:
A very good point.
The "offer tennis" of home buying and selling can be done there and then and you will KNOW it is genuine
and not just the Estate Agent trying to play both ends of against the middle.
