Beware Overvaluing Your Property
Overvaluing a property is a well-known tactic that some Kilmarnock estate agents will use in order to impress you to secure your listing instruction. Therefore, do not fall into the trap of simply choosing the Kilmarnock estate agent with the highest valuation because an overpriced property will tend to attract the wrong kind of buyers to your Kilmarnock property and the right buyers may never get to see it.

This practice can result in the property remaining static on the Kilmarnock housing market. This can also lead to the property having to be subsequently reduced falling below its true market value. The issue of obtaining a correct valuation is therefore paramount to the selling process.

It is critical that you appoint a Kilmarnock estate agent who not only has a track record of successful sales in Kilmarnock but also has a thorough working knowledge of current buyer activity and who can interpret and communicate prevailing market trends to your advantage.

Sales Particulars and Window Displays
Many agents in Kilmarnock use traditional window cards as part of their window display to promote properties.

As part of the standard service a set of particulars describing your property including some photographs will also be prepared by the Kilmarnock estate agent.

Always ensure that the window card, sales particulars and any associated newspaper adverts are to your satisfaction. If you feel that the estate agent has not adequately described or included something which you regard as a feature or selling point then bring it to their attention and ensure that changes are made.
