Estate Agency Enhancement

How quickly do I find the need to clarify here that I am not an estate agent?  I am not.  With all due deference to those in practice that particular rat race is one in which I have neither the wish nor the energy to run.  What I know for sure, however, is that there will on occasion be vendors who might feel, rightly or wrongly, that their agent could perhaps be doing better or working harder on their behalf.  Agents keep themselves busy as you would expect but busy and optimum attention to the individual client are understandably not natural bedfellows.  For this reason lack of communication is most frequently at the heart of such concerns and my role here would simply be to address and make good to the extent that may be found necessary in order to meet my clients’ hopes and expectations.

Simply put I would look to become the you that would be on the case with relentless enthusiasm if only you had the time and sometimes knowledge and experience to do so. I believe you will find this to be an essentially unique service that is arguably not necessary.  That is unless of course you would place some value in the comfort of knowing that everything that can be done to sell your property is being done with no let up or waning of interest.

My fee charges for this service range between £1,750-£3,500 depending on the particular circumstances of the case and they become payable on legal completion, dis-instruction or withdrawal.  In return for my fee I would:

• Routinely scrutinise and assess any and all prospective purchaser interest received via the online servers and/or other sources as applicable; and

• Oversee the progression of the sale once a price has been agreed to ensure that everything that needs to be done is being done to overcome delays and/or potentially disruptive factors.

  
  

Terms and conditions will naturally apply and I would stress that I do not operate on a ‘no sale, no fee’ basis which I regard as being unfair in its encouragement of a cross-subsidisation favouring the ‘tyre-kickers’.  My clients should therefore firstly ensure that they are committed to a sale prior to instructing.
