It’s Not Just About Selling by Blackshaw Homes Estate
Agents in Southend on Sea
Many estate agents in Southend on Sea put substantial emphasis on
their ability to find a buyer, and they highlight this as a primary
reason to sell through them.
However, we believe in going far beyond this. In many ways,
finding a buyer is the easy bit! Most switched-on estate agents
have access to most of the buyers in the market, either via their
local property newspaper advertising, their website, their boards
or their existing database of registered buyers.
But the issue is not actually about selling. For most people
it’s about moving. Selling your home is only one component of
the process, and for most it is not as exciting as the buying
component! Whilst an estate agent’s sales success and their
investment in technology and advertising will always be important
to vendors, there does seem to be a huge gap in estate agency that
provides the reassurance homeowners deserve when they are
moving.
On average 36% of sales arranged in England and Wales fall
through prior to exchange of contracts (although our own
fall-through rate is substantially below this). The chances of a
sale failing to exchange can be considerably reduced if the
seller’s estate agents are as concerned about the whole move
in context as they are about the sale in isolation. So often, it is
issues relating to linked sales or purchases that can be the cause
of problems, be they legal, structural or emotional.
Our aim as estate agents in Southend on Sea is to make the
process of buying and selling be the celebration it should be,
rather than the daunting process it often is. So when you speak to
one of our property advisers, don’t be surprised to find them
as interested in your moving plans as they are in your sale.
Because that’s what relevant service is all about!
