Why use a Wakefield Estate Agent?

Because Wakefield estate agents are specialists at marketing

Wakefield estate agents are experts at marketing houses. Not every person is born to be a sales man or woman - and the work of getting a sale is usually best left to the experts. Your estate agent should know the trick to take appealing protographs of your property, the methods required to create an appealing write-up of it and the best locations to market those details to attract the most enquiries.

Quality Marketing

A good Wakefield 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 Wakefield property needs as much exposure as possible, to maximise interest from potential buyers. Typically an agent will advertise your property on property portals, such as Rightmove, and in your local or Wakefield 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.

For Guidance

The property buying and selling process is a complex one and can be very daunting, especially for first time sellers. Your estate agent will be able to guide you through the process of selling your home - and explain all of the steps. Some estate agents even have an Independent Financial Adviser in-branch who can help you with any financial questions you may have. They can also refer you to a solicitor - but we recommend getting a quote with us.

Achieve The Higher Price for your House

Estate agents with experience in Wakefield will have a thorough understanding of the Wakefield house market place, and will assist you with achieving the highest sale price for your house.

Selling Tips

Neutralise Nasty Odours - If you're trying to sell your Wakefield property, then perhaps it's time to ask a good friend the question "does my house smell". If you live with unpleasant odours, then you may no longer notice them. Get the blunt opinion of a friend. If there's a problem, don't worry... there are plenty of products on the market to remove nasty smells, rather than cover them up.

Do Simple Jobs - Are you trying to sell property in Wakefield? If so, you may want to take a good, objective look around. How many small, simple jobs are there that you haven't bothered getting around to doing? The problem is that we become blind to the small flaws after a while (apart from the ones that annoy us), whereas an observant newcomer to your home will spot them straight away. We're talking about curling wall-paper, or borders just need sticking down; Marks on walls, that need wiping off; Dead flies or dust on a lamp-shade; Dirty windows; Old screw-holes in walls that need filling and touching up. Now is the time to put a day aside to do these little jobs, and help achieve the best price for you property.

Be choosy about pictures. - Your estate agent (or yourself - should you choose to use the sell your own property method) will be required to take photographs of the interior and outside of the property. This is a must to get it displayed in an attention grabbing fashion on the World Wide Web, and in sales particulars. Make sure each photograph really sells the house or living area to the best possible extent. Ensure that the angle and lighting produces a flattering and attractive image. Remove as much excess ornamentation as you are able to before taking pictures of a room or exterior aspect - junk will cause your house to appear less roomy and unattractive. Exclude photos with people, pets or smoking paraphernalia in them!

Cats and dogs in your garden. - If you are marketing your house in Wakefield then you aught to examine your garden for nasty mess left behind by either your own dogs and cats or neighbour's dogs or cats. When your garden smells like it's used for a sandbox, then this will surely make an extremely bad impression on viewers. Clean up after your own pets, and think about using anti-dog or cat countermeasures to scare away and put-off your neighbouring property's cats and dogs. Always make sure these countermeasures are not cruel.
