Not All Agents Are The Same
Not all estate agents are the same. When you are selecting a witney 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.

Estate Agents Commission Rates Explained
Most sellers are unaware of the different commission rates that witney estate agents will charge to sell your property. It is a fact that not all witney estate agencies charge the same rates and there’s a good reason for this so don’t make your decision on price alone.

Some witney agents may quote standard rates but upon appraising the property, may determine that the property may be more difficult to sell than usual because it’s in a bad area or in a poor state of repair warranting more effort on marketing costs and effort. Conversely, some agents may quote a lower than normal rate if they think that they can move your property easily and quickly.

Some witney estate agents may not have the overheads of larger firms who have made high levels of investment in high street offices, top-level staff training, sophisticated computer systems and professional marketing materials and resources.

That’s not to say that cut-price commission rates will deliver cut-down levels of customer service and professionalism because you can sometimes experience inadequacies when dealing with larger chain firms too.

Cut price witney estate agents typically require a higher turnover of stock in order to survive and they are therefore less likely to be concerned about securing the best price for their clients. The net amount of the post-sale proceeds in your pocket is surely more important than the percentage fee your witney estate agent charged in commission.
