I've had 3 agents round to value, all valued pretty much the same. Which one would you choose?
Agent A - Small franchisee, only two of them but have a head office back room functions. Recently sold a property for a friend. Very proactive, friends buyer was a bit wobbly and agent guided it through expertly. No minimum period contract. Popular agent but worry they won't have time to devote to selling my property if too busy, and I have no desire to do viewings myself.
Agent B - Big chain, agent probably one I had most rapport with on a personal level, sells a lot of properties like mine nearby. Standard contract is really long time (16 weeks!) and highest fees, but could of course be negotiated down. Wanted to charge extra for photos and floorplans but they have "an offer" for these free currently. However, lots of contact already after and feels quite pushy.
Agent C - Local area chain, sells a lot of properties in the area. Agent was professional and relaxed. Lowest fees as I bought this place previously with them as the agent so see it as ongoing relationship. Neighbour up the road sold with them recently and wasn't very impressed however!
So which do you think you would probably go with?
