Shall I sell my house on the web or pay the estate agent?
Thursday, September 11th, 2008Okay so I want to sell my house but how do I go about it?
The traditional way to sell my house would be to approach an Estate agent and have them to advertise my property. This will probably encompass an advert in the areas paper, a picture in the window of the estate agents shop, a for sale sign and an estate agent to show the possible buyer round your house for sale, oh! And of course a large piece of commission off the profit you would have got from the sale of your home.
The other way of course is to contact a professional business on the web and let them put all of your homes details and specs, including pictures to a huge market for a set price and still have a billboard out in your front garden.
So when I decided to sell my house I used the an online service to do the promotion for me this gave me the opportunity to have a lot more control and actually know that the sum I was spending out had some kind of impact rather than going to pay somebody else?s wages. I cant remember the exact value but I think that estate agents prices are something like 2 % which is several thousand pounds instead of about one hundred pounds for an expert service without the fuss and stress. It also means that you can post up details as and when you want and if you decide to alter the value of your property you can alter it when you like.
