With the current housing market being described by many observers as a “sellers’ market”, there has been an uptake in industry experts considering what homeowners who are looking to sell their home are looking for.

Selling your home is a massive step for many people, and this is why good agents take the time to get to know what the homeowner is looking for when selling their property.

- Only 9% of respondents said a fast sales process was important
- Being updated on the progress of the sale was only cited by 8% of respondents
- 8% of respondents said that expertise and industry experience were important
SELL YOUR HOME IN THE RIGHT WAY
It’s only natural that many estate agents will attempt to stand out from the crowd by marketing themselves as the best around based on a wide variety of USPs. However, when it comes to homeowners, the only one they really care about is the price achieved and that it doesn’t differ too widely from the asking price that is often set by the agent. We know it’s common practice for many agents to overvalue in order to win business, but this research suggests it could be detrimental to their chances of winning business in the long term should they fail to deliver.”
Concludes; “It’s also interesting to see that paying a low fee is of little importance to those looking to sell and this has no doubt come about due to many online agents failing to deliver on the service side of their proposition. However, it’s also interesting that the expertise and industry experience of a particular agent is also of little importance, as long as they can get the job done here and now.”
