Selling with Estate Agents: The Traditional Route
Extended Timelines:
On average, selling a home through an estate agent takes about 185 days from listing to completion.
Uncertain Outcomes:
There's no guarantee your property will sell, and many sellers find themselves switching agents mid-process.
Additional Costs:
Expect to pay for floorplans, professional photography, and marketing materials, which can add up quickly.
Time-Consuming Viewings:
Multiple viewings are common, but not all viewers are serious buyers, leading to potential time wasters.
Marketing Limitations:
While agents list properties online, the effectiveness of their marketing strategies can vary.
Risk of Chain Breaks:
Property chains can collapse, causing delays or even derailing the sale entirely.
