Advertise yourself and estate agent

[sabrina]

What happens if you advertise your house for sale yourself and use Estate Agents to advertise too. If you get an offer from your advertisment are the EA entitled to a fee etc etc or do you just pay them for their time and advert costs and take it off the market and process the sale yourself!!

It depends on your agreement with them. I believe that if you appoint a sole agent then they are entitled to claim their fees. The contract usually has a time clause in it.
