Why use an Estate Agent in street?
There is a recent trend towards trying to sell your own property. Many new websites now offer services to assist you with this, but at AgentQuote.co.uk, we believe that there would be great value to you in finding a good estate agent in street to market and sell your property.
Here are some points to consider when deciding whether to find an estate agent in street to help you market and sell or let your property.
The Right Value
A street-based estate agent will know the sensible marketing value of a property such as yours, located in your area of street.
Accompanied Viewings
Most estate agents in street 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 street 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.
Quality Marketing
A good street 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 street 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 street 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.
Good Advice
A street estate agent will be able to answer any questions you may have about the buying or selling process.
Selling Tips
Pay For A Deep Clean
If a girl was going out on a important date, there's a reasonable chance she's either spend a lot of time at home getting ready, or even go to a street beauty salon. If you're trying to sell a street property then don't treat it any different! Consider getting in a deep-cleaning service. Prices, and level of service will vary, so look around! They will steam clean carpets, curtains and upholstery. They will get rid of all of the dirt that you may not even notice. Your oven will look like new! Hopefully the overall freshness and odour of your property will improve. This should really help with your sale!
Make some coffee
Most people love the smell of brewing coffee, even if they don't like to drink it. Consider putting on some fresh coffee just before a viewing, it's sure to create a welcoming odour for those street viewers!
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. street property hunters will mainly prefer a "blank canvas" to a scheme that sticks out as being dated.
Cats And Dogs in your garden.
If you're selling property in street 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.
