Good luck with the sale! I viewed a house today which I'm interested in. EA uses the same OFFR system so registered this evening waiting for to be approved. Downside is the buyer has to upload proof of identify and funding. As has been talked about as a buyer you end up giving away your cards financially. Equally I don't mind as I know what my upper limit is.EA2 was also showing me bidding software they use caller OFFR. Potential purchasers register with the EA, details including Mortgage approved or cash buyer etc. and they then can make a bid on the property, each potential purchaser can see the other bids. A fascinating idea. Has anyone any experience of this?
I agree with this. Use the local agent who is actually selling houses in your area. Looks like both EA1 and EA2 are doing that? Although it is very annoying for buyers when houses are valued lower to create more interest, I think it benefits the seller. Some buyers may be put off by 350,000 in the area you describe so I would go with EA1. Or go with EA2 but ask them to price it to draw in more potential buyers.Who is selling the most houses in your area?. is there any houses in the immediate area gone sale agreed?. I previously sold a house in a matter of days by going to the EA who had sold a house across the road (in better condition I might add) and he sent the underbidders over to us and then myself and the neighbour did an overall deal with the EA
I've used or have knowledge of using many estate agents in the last 2 years. For sales, potential sales, valuations, purchases and potential purchasesAny comments or suggestions welcome. Thanks
Private viewings are often reserved for the higher end of the market, vetting purchasers takes more time and you are much less likely to get multiple bidders driving the price up. There just isn't the incentive for the agent to do lots of private viewings at the usual commission rates. Open viewings are more prevalent because they work, while you will get tyre kickers, you will also get the motivated buyers who are ready to go.Others vet the purchasers and do more private viewings. Which is more beneficial to the seller? I assume the open viewings mainly attract tyre kickers.
They choose how they want to operate, in most cases unless you're offering a significant incentive, you either take it or leave it. They make money through volume of transactions,I never understand why estate agents / sellers come to a deal.
