Considering Changing Estate Agents?
Selling a property can be a daunting task, especially when faced with challenges like a sluggish market or ineffective estate agents. If you've been on the market for more than 8 weeks without significant interest, or if your current agent has advised reducing the price, it might be time to consider making a change.
Research by Rightmove reveals that properties take twice as long to sell when their prices have been reduced. By reducing your property’s price with your current agent, you’re not only extending the time it will likely take to sell, but you may also inadvertently create a negative perception among buyers. Price reductions can signal to potential buyers that there may be an issue with the property, leading to decreased interest and making it harder to achieve a premium price.
Homes that undergo price reductions are also 10% less likely to achieve their optimal selling price. These statistics highlight the importance of proactive selling strategies and the potential benefits of switching estate agents.
In some cases, agents may lose momentum after the initial listing period, shifting their focus to securing new properties on their books. Unfortunately, some agents are incentivized by their companies to simply list as many properties as possible, as this is how they receive their commission. This can result in your listing receiving less attention, reducing your chances of attracting potential buyers and achieving a successful sale.
