Missed Opportunities
You local blakeney Estate Agents will always be available, by telephone or email, to deal with enquiries about your property. If you try to DIY your house sale then you are likely to miss may opportunities because you are unlikely to be available to field enquiries.

Quality Marketing
A good blakeney estate agent will be an expert at marketing your property. They will know how to advertise your property in all the right places. Ideally your blakeney property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Normally an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or blakeney property post. Other forms of marketing include window cards, handouts, mail-shots and open-house days. Remember, the frequency and quality of the content of the advertising is just as important as where it appears.

blakeney Estate Agents Are Natural Sales People
It takes a special kind of person to be a good sales person. It takes character, charisma, a certain manner, the right looks... these are simply things that many of us lack. Hopefully your local blakeney estate agent will posses the attributes of a good sales person, and close the sale for you faster and at a better price than you could manage on your own!

Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in blakeney will offer to undertake accompanied viewings on your behalf. They will show off your property to viewers, drawing attention to all of the best features. Most viewers are more likely to tell an estate agent, than the owner, what they don’t like about a property. This means that if you use a blakeney estate agent, you are likely to get honest feedback on what aspects of your property need dressing up to achieve a quick sale, at the best price.

Tidy The Garden
Perhaps you are not much of a gardener, your lawn is un-cut and the whole place is looking rather messy! Well it’s time to get busy. A badly presented garden may well be off-putting to blakeney buyers. Cut the lawn, trim the edges and remove as much junk and clutters as you can. A few plastic pots filled with colourful flowers could really change the appeal of your property.

Modernise dated fittings.
It's arguable that some folk love "dated". The majority don't. If your house is looking more 80s than "now" you may want to consider zapping the worst offenders. Nasty wallpaper can be covered with a lick of paint, cupboard doors and tiles can also be painted over, and door handles are easily replaced. blakeney property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.

Be Energy Efficient
If you're selling your home then blakeney buyers will be looking for energy efficient properties, as these will be cheaper to run, and easier to sell.

A good blakeney estate agent will be able to advise you and point you in the right direction for making your home more energy efficient.

An energy assessor will come and assess your property for a current and potential Energy Efficiency Rating and a current and potential Environmental (CO2) Impact Rating. This will be included in your HIP pack, which must be completed before you market your property.

Rent Some Storage
If your house is very cluttered, then you may want to consider renting a storage unit in blakeney. Removing large, unnecessary articles of furniture and other clutter will give the appearance of bigger rooms. Viewers like to see a reasonably blank canvas, that they can really imagine making their own. The disadvantages are the weekly costs of storage, and the double-handling of the furniture, that you will now have to move twice.
