Estate agent recommendations

[Pinnybean]

We are thinking of selling our house, has anyone bought or sold recently? Which were the fantastic estate agents to work with? Any you would recommend avoiding? Thank you!

Don't bother with an onliner. This is not the right kind of market for them.

Haart are straight talking. Avoid Winkworth and KFH - their pricing isn't right. And what kind of property and where is it? The postcode and nature of the build and its approximate value can be important when choosing an agent.

Springtime - could you please explain what you mean by ?an onliner??

And why ?this is not the right kind of market for them??

An on line would be something like purple bricks

I have to disagree with SpringTime, although I concede that each person?s experience is different. We sold with Winkworth and they were great. Pricing was realistic and achieved. When our purchase (also in ED) became tricky, they were very helpful (more than would have been expected just to secure commission). If we were to sell again, we would use them.

We've recently sold our East Dulwich property via Knight Frank's Dulwich Village office and would highly recommend the team there. We had a false start with the KFH office who wasted a lot of our time showing buyers through who weren't interested in a house just off Lordship Lane, which was demonstrated by the lack of second viewings and whose response was to drop the asking price considerably after advising us that this was what we could expect to achieve. Knight Frank achieved a sale in excess of the KFH advised guide price.

Purple Bricks,Yopa, etc. If the market's on fire then use them. But it isn't, and there are lots of sellers still listing their ?1m+ properties yet only willing to pay ?1000 or thereabouts, maybe even less to get sold. Looks so greedy and it's definitely naive. Perhaps they think that Co-vid and the Brexit situation, combined with a massive slowdown in the global economy are just things that happen to other people... Properties need selling, not just listing.
