Look for an estate agent with strong local market knowledge, a proven track record of successful sales and a clear marketing strategy, as well as checking their rates. It's also worth checking reviews, asking how they will promote your property and understanding how often they will communicate with you throughout the process.
An agent who can provide realistic advice on pricing, buyer demand and market conditions can help you make informed decisions and achieve the best possible outcome.
Estate agents assess a property's value by reviewing the location, size and condition of the property, current market conditions, buyer demand and any improvements that may influence value. A professional valuation should provide an informed estimate of what a property could achieve on the open market, helping sellers set a competitive asking price.

The cost of using an estate agent varies depending on the agent and the service provided. For sales, fees are often charged as a percentage of the final sale price, although some agents may offer fixed-fee packages. It's important to understand what is included, such as marketing, accompanied viewings, negotiation support and sales progression, before choosing an agent.
