Online Estate Agent Vs Traditional Estate Agent? Choosing Which Agent is Best for you

Online Estate Agent Vs Traditional Estate Agent? Choosing Which Agent is Best for you 8 Apr 2021

GRISDALES GUIDE

Online Estate Agent Vs Traditional Estate Agents

The online agent model has become much more prevalent over the last few years, but not everyone understands the differences between what this type of agent offers over the traditional high street agent. This weeks blog explores the difference between the two.

Grisdales, a Full Service, Traditional Estate Agent

There are many differences between the services, for example a full service agent will maintain a database of several hundred purchasers to whom details of new properties can be sent, as opposed to an online agent just listing the properties on the portals and waiting passively for buyers to request viewings.

A Traditional Estate Agent:

• Will not ask for fees upfront and only receive a fee once the property sells.
• Will telephone hot buyers in order to encourage viewings.
• Will accompany viewings and build up relationships with the potential purchasers – very often property choices at the start of a buyer’s journey is not where they end up and therefore support along that journey is very worthwhile.
• Will follow up viewings to get feedback, encouraging offers and asking in depth questions to build up a better picture of the buyers needs, a marketing strategy for the sellers.
• Will negotiate an offer to get the best price for the seller.
• Will check the chain and qualify the buyer thoroughly before an offer is accepted.
• Will play a proactive part in monitoring the progress of the sale and addressing any problems that may jeopardise it.

Putting your property on the market is one of the biggest life decisions you can make, so think carefully about what sort of service you want from your agent before you decide.
