What are the alternatives to using an estate agent to sell my property?
You may feel that you have rather limited options when it comes to selling your property.
You may feel that you must use a high street estate agent because they are the best bet and know your local area.
So for example an estate agent in Cardiff may market to cater for different sectors of Cardiff like Cyncoed for example.
However there are alternatives, we will explain different methods you may want to use to help sell your home.
High street estate agents
High street estate agents are the obvious choice when you wish to market your property. You normally have an estate agent that focuses on either selling commercial or residential properties. Sometimes you have estate agents within Cardiff that can market both.
High street estate agents typically work off a percentage cut out of the properties value. So for example say you were selling a 3-bed room home in Llanrumney, they may sell your property for a 2% administration charge, some estate agents may charge more some may charge less than this.
Online estate agents
Online estate agents are gaining popularity here in the U.K, this is because normally they do not charge a percentage cut out of the properties value. Instead online estate agents normally charge a one off upfront fee.
So for example online estate agents may market your property like Dream Castle does, and just charge a set fee of £99.99 per property. This means the homeowner does not need to pay anymore once the home is sold.
