Beware Of Agents Overvaluing!

Don't be fooled by agents that overvalue to win your business.

Today, I want to talk about Agents overvaluing your property to trap you onto the market.
 
So, you've had your three valuations as Google suggest you should, and maybe one's a little bit lower than the other two, why?
So the first thing that you should really be doing is, questioning those Agents, how long their contract length might be, are you going to be tied into staying on the market with them for three months, four months, maybe more, and also, how long their notice period is, when will they let you leave, and, how long is that notice period, as well as any potential hidden fees that you might have when you come onto the market.
 
Some agents are targeted on getting the houses onto the market, but not selling them which obviously doesn't help anyone.
Next question you need to be asking is, have you seen the evidence, have you seen properties like yours, in the local area, that have actually SOLD, not just on the market, we need to see comparable properties that have actually ACHIEVED A SALE!
 
The next thing you can do is, get on Rightmove yourself, have a look, see what properties are stuck on the market, what properties are reducing, and what is actually selling.
If, after you've done all this, you still feel that the Agent that valued the highest is right, just be careful when you're signing a contract, if you're going to be tied into that contract for a long time, just in case you want to be able to leave and try a different agent.

We have a ZERO WEEK contract, and NO NOTICE PERIOD as well as NO HIDDEN FEES, meaning we are a safe option to come on to the market with!
