Finding the right property agent is important whether you’re selling, buying or renting a property. It can be tempting to go with an estate agent that’s offering the lowest fee or fall for the best sales pitch. But are they the right agent to sell, or rent, your most valuable asset? How to find the right property agent when there are so many out there, can feel mind-boggling.
“You wouldn’t book a holiday with a travel agent who wasn’t qualified or regulated. Or a mortgage broker, or a solicitor. You wouldn’t dream of dealing with those important things in your life unless they were regulated or qualified to do that. And yes, it seems we don’t ask our estate agents – who are dealing with our most valuable asset – ‘are you qualified to do that?‘” Phil Spencer, Founder Move iQ,
