What happened in the Lancaster Housing Market in 2016?

As you can see our Lancaster office agreed 185 sales in total, 25% more than the next agent.  It’s not all about the number of sales though, it’s also about the top prices achieved and the time it took to actually find a buyer for our clients ( both of which deserve a graph of their own! ).  So what should you look for when selecting an estate agent to sell your home?

They communicate

The best estate agents have great communication skills.  If you are not in regular touch with your estate agent as a buyer or seller it can become very stressful.  A super agent, also knows how to communicate with you.  Some clients prefer it by email, others by phone.  Often the sale of a home can be time sensitive and it’s important your agent realises this. 

They are proactive

A proactive agent is one who chases buyers and is not reliant on the internet alone to bring the buyer to your door.  They are chasing up on potential leads and talking to registered buyers.  A proactive agent keeps you informed of what is happening. They are covering all bases to ensure your home is seen by the maximum number of people. 

They listen

Super Agents listen.  They ask questions.  They find out about you and what you actually need, rather than give you what they think you want.  One cap does not fit all. Different clients have different needs and a super agent should be able to adapt to this.  If an agent isn’t showing 100% interest in you, it’s time to think about trying a different one. 

They know their properties

There is nothing worse than an estate agent who shows a house and knows nothing about it. If you were buying a car you would want the full service history.  Why should a house be different?  Make sure the estate agent you choose has full time viewers and you have a dedicated property manager who keeps you updated as the sale goes along. It works for us!
