In the fast-paced world of property, choosing the right estate agent to sell your home can make all the difference. While the traditional high street chains may seem like the obvious choice, modern independent estate agents offer a range of great benefits that cater to your specific needs and priorities.
In this blog, we look at some of the frequently asked questions about working with an independent agent like Propertynest.
Do independent agents have access to the same buyer pool?
Absolutely. Over 97% of people find properties online, so chances are, this is where your buyer is coming from. By advertising your property on the main portals, we ensure maximum exposure, reaching the same potential buyers as all other agencies.
What level of service can I expect from an independent estate agent like Propertynest?
We aren’t driven by volume like the traditional high street agencies, so each of our clients gets genuine dedication and commitment. Our reputation is paramount, as is word of mouth referrals, so we focus on delivering best in class service for each and every client. We extend our opening hours for your convenience and importantly, you'll have one dedicated point of contact throughout the entire process.
Does Propertynest know the local area?
I own Propertynest Leeds North and I’ve lived in the area almost 20 years, so in a word, yes. Despite the brand being a relative newcomer, we’ve been an award winning estate agency since 2018. We adhere to rigorously high standards in marketing and most importantly we utilise data to accurately value your property, in line with the local market trends. We know exactly what properties are selling for in the local area.
How flexible are independent agents with contracts?
At Propertynest, we believe in offering complete flexibility to our clients. Unlike other agencies that often lock you into lengthy contracts, we operate without any tie-in period. Your peace of mind is our priority and we understand that circumstances can change.
Is selling through an independent agent really risk-free?
With Propertynest, we make the selling process hassle-free and risk-free. From valuation to listing, we strive to get your property live on the market within two weeks; and with no tie-in period, you have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain.
How accurate are valuations provided by independent agents?
Unlike some agencies that inflate valuations to win listings, we take a more transparent and data-driven approach. By analysing market data and leveraging our local expertise, we provide realistic valuations that reflect the true value of your property. Every agent should walk you through their valuation processes in detail, to show they are using sound logic.
How important is my business to an independent agent?
Propertynest is an owner managed business and we take absolutely nothing for granted. We're not just about numbers, we're about building genuine relationships and delivering exceptional service. Unlike high-volume agencies that focus on quantity, we prioritise quality. Your home is more than just a listing to us.
Working with an independent will give you a much more positive experience and is simply a better way to sell your home. Give Propertynest a chance and we will very quickly prove to you that you have made the right decision.
To sum up, when it comes to selling your home in North Leeds, choosing a quality independent estate agent like Propertynest offers numerous advantages, from personalised service and local expertise to flexibility and transparency. Experience the difference for yourself.
