  • Bespoke name and marketing logo for your home if required?
  • Will they provide viewers with a professional brochure or a shoddy print off from the office or worse still-nothing at all?
• Can they give examples or case studies of ensuring difficult sales went through to completion?
• What works do they recommend you carry out on your home to prepare it for sale.
• Beware the agent that says “I wouldn’t bother doing any works” without a good reason.
• Remember its crucial to have your house looking its best when you go to market.

Finally, are they enthusiastic. Never choose an agent that’s in too much of a hurry or doesn’t seem keen on your property. If they are willing to display those characteristics to you when they should be putting their best foot forward to win your confidence, they’ll have no hesitation in putting off buyers with their shoddy attitude.
