Don't Choose an Estate Agent Based on Fees Alone

Choosing an estate agent? Don't just ask about the fee. The real question is what you'll get for it. From pricing and marketing to communication and sales progression, the right agent can make the difference between a smooth move and months of frustration.

Don't Choose an Estate Agent Based on Fees Alone

Choosing the cheapest estate agent can end up costing you far more than you save.

The better question is: what are you actually getting for the fee?

Ask any agent:
  • How long am I tied into a contract with you?
  • Who will value my home, and will they still be involved once it's on the market?
  • How often will you update me?
  • Will you conduct the viewings?
  • What marketing do you actually provide?
  • Who will progress my sale once I've accepted an offer?
  • What happens if my sale starts to fall apart?

Many sellers tell us they've experienced little communication after their property goes live, and even less once an offer has been accepted. While every agency works differently, it's worth asking exactly what level of service you'll receive before you commit.

At Love Property, we believe selling your home should feel straightforward, not stressful.

We price homes to compete in the current market rather than simply telling you the figure you want to hear. We accompany every viewing, provide prompt feedback via WhatsApp and follow up the next day, keeping you informed throughout. Our professional photography, video and social media marketing are designed to give your property every opportunity to stand out.

Most importantly, our service doesn't stop when the offer is accepted. We stay involved, working closely with all parties to keep your sale moving and helping to resolve issues before they become problems.

A great estate agent isn't the one with the lowest fee. It's the one who gets you moved.
