Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in stone to help you market and sell or let your property.
Missed Opportunities
You local stone 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.

A good stone estate agent will already have a shortlist of potential buyers (applicants) on their books, who may immediately want to view your property. This could result in a quick sale.
stone 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 stone 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!
The Right Price
Of course, everyone wants to sell their stone property for the biggest price possible, but this is not always the best way to achieve a quick sale. A good stone estate agent will be able to guide you towards a price that strikes the right balance between being attractive to both you and any potential stone purchasers.
Selling Tips
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 stone 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.
Find a good conveyancing solicitor for stone conveyancing
If you're selling or buying property in stone then you're going to need a good solicitor to do your conveyancing. The solicitor doesn't need to be local to stone to do your conveyancing. In-fact, you'll get a much better deal by using a solicitor that is geared up to deal with large volumes, rather than using someone local. stone conveyancing doesn't need to cost the earth!
Spend Up To 1%
It is often advised that a seller should consider spending up to 1% of the sale value of the property on re-decoration, D.I.Y. and / or touching-up to achieve the best price. You should discuss this with a local stone specialist adviser or stone estate agent. A good stone estate agent may be able to point you in the right direction.
Cats And Dogs in your garden.
If you're selling property in stone then you may want to check your garden for mess left behind by either your pets or neighbour's pets. If your garden looks like it's being used as a toilet, then this can make a very bad impression. Clean up after your own pets, and consider installing anti dog / cat measures to scare away / deter neighbour's pets. Please ensure these devices are humane.
