Southend on Sea, Estate Agents..Viewing Feedback!
Sellers often approach us after an unsatisfactory experience
with another
Estate Agent in Southend on Sea, particularly in relation to
poor levels of feedback following property viewings.
Surely prompt and constructive feedback should be a fundamental
part of any estate agent’s service to their clients! Only
when agents in Southend on Sea understand what buyers think of
a property can they deliver practical advice that will enhance its
sale prospects. The agent and the seller should be working
hand-in-hand to achieve the desired outcome, based significantly on
buyers’ comments.
We also understand the seller’s anguish in simply not
knowing whether a sale is imminent following a viewing.
Sometimes, feedback is obviously positive: “When can you
move out?” is clearly a strong buying signal; “What are
the neighbours like?”, “Could I bring my partner
round?” or “Will you be leaving that cupboard?”
certainly indicate that the property is a distinct possibility, and
a good agent in Southend on Sea, should be able to move this
interest towards a firm offer.
Some feedback can be helpful in confirming whether the asking
price is positioned correctly in the market. Buyers buy by
comparison, and sometimes a swift price adjustment can be
imperative to avoid the house going stale on the market. For
example, “The property is too small for us” usually
means, “We have seen larger houses for the same price”.
“The street is too busy” usually means
“We’ve seen similarly priced properties in quieter
streets”.
Of course, many people are just being polite when they say,
“We’ll think about it”, or “I’m sure
you’ll find a buyer easily”. The key to good estate
agency in Southend on Sea is identifying which comments
point to a sale, which point to a negotiation, and which point to a
problem with the price. And we think sellers deserve to know, via
prompt and supportive feedback.
