Are You Getting The Best From Your Estate Agent?

When looking for the best property investments you need to spread wide to ensure you can invest at the price you want.

One part of this is how to get the best out of your estate agent is using the correct tactics to make sure you are the first to know about a new property…

Pick a good estate agent

It does seem obvious but not every estate agent will have your best interests at heart. Only work with an estate agent who has a strong reputation and history.
Build relationships

Have a good relationship with your estate agent and make sure they know exactly what you want and what you are willing to pay. Prove you are serious and they will have you in mind for new properties.

Keep in contact

Regular contact, even if they do not have a property you are interested in, by phoning regularly they will know that you serious.

Beware unnecessary charges

You will of course need to pay the estate agent a commission but don’t let them talk you in to use their other services.

Many estate agents have in-house mortgage brokers for extra commissions.

You do not have to use this service. If the estate agent says you must use this service they may not be the estate agent for you.
