The Internet and Websites
The internet is a valuable tool in estate agency and a good agent will be well-versed in adopting the right technologies available to ensure that your property is marketed to the world wide web.

A good oldham agent will be advertising your property on top notch property portals. The potential for persons who may not necessarily be registered as an interested buyer with your agent to show interest in your property will be greatly enhanced if your chosen agent is IT-savvy.

Take a look at the estate agents' own website and ask yourself if it looks professional enough for interested parties to want to conduct a property search on the site. Satisfy yourself that the search facility works well and that the search results are adequately presented. Are the full property details presented well and are all associated images of decent viewable quality?

Most importantly, is the site speed quick enough? A slow performing, inefficient and difficult to navigate website where pages and images take a long time to download will challenge the patience of most visitors who will be quick to leave the site and never return.

Not All Agents Are The Same
Not all estate agents are the same. When you are selecting a oldham estate agent to sell your property it is worth asking many questions. How much will they charge? Do they do accompanied viewings? What do their brochures and window cards look like? What are the optional extras that you have to pay for? How often will your property appear in the local paper? What is their buyer's book looking like? A question well worth asking before giving them your business. Remember, you are looking for the best spread of services for the most reasonable fee.
