With you all the way!
Many estate agents in southend on sea simply act as a
broking service that matches people to property. However, we at
Blackshaw Homes estate agents in southend are acutely aware
that there is far more to successful selling than this alone.
Indeed, over 30% of property sales in this country fail to reach
completion, falling through for various reasons.
One of the main reasons is that a buyer simply gets cold feet and
withdraws as a result of “buyer remorse”. This is a
familiar phenomenon to estate agents in Southend and
occurs when a buyer feels overwhelmed by the apparent enormity of
the decision to buy and takes the more comfortable
“low-risk” option and does nothing.
Perhaps the buyer is offered another property which they prefer, or
something else comes on the market that makes the price they have
offered on your home look expensive.
Your buyer may lose their job, or get a promotion. They might
decide to get married or divorced; they might inherit or win a
fortune, or their business may be experiencing difficulties. They
could even die!
Whilst these types of issues are generally unavoidable and
naturally have a profound effect on people’s decision to
move, the main problem concerns timing. Because offers in this
country are not binding until exchange of contracts, the longer the
time between offer and exchange, the greater the opportunity there
is for the buyer or seller to decide to withdraw.
We go to great lengths to help you move. The agent you have come to
know will be very familiar with your circumstances and plans. He or
she will usually be the same person who negotiates for you and who
will be thoroughly involved in any linked transactions. This is why
we do not have a separate “sales progression”
department. We find our clients appreciate the level of personal
dedication and accountability provided by a single point of
contact, which in turn leads to understanding, trust, and a speedy
conclusion on request and in confidence.
