Estate Agent - soooo frustrating!

Hi all

Bit of background info, trying to sell two houses (Mum's and ours) to buy a bigger property for us all to live in. Decided to use the same high street agent for both, went live with Mum's straight away for 2 reasons; thought hers would take longer to sell and she could move in with us, as she couldn't accommodate us living with her. During this time ours has been on a soft sale ie, only people who enquire with the estate agents.

Sold Mum's just before we went away (which is slowly going through the process) and instructed the EA to go live with ours the Monday we returned from holiday.

Since then (4 weeks ago) 1 viewing! We had more viewers when it wasn't live aaarrrggghhhh!

We are so frustrated with the EA, we're always having to chase for the marketing report, chase for feedback etc. We're really thinking what they are doing for us? Does their mailing list really exist? Being both on their list and neighbouring town's list we've had nothing from either of them but plentry from other EA's.

DH put a call in to them today and they're going to speak to the manager and call back tomorrow. It was their valuation that we went with too, we never even had a suggestion on what we wanted.

Any suggestions how we can proceed?

You need to gauge whether the lack of viewings is due to it being the summer period and school holidays or price.

Look on Rightmove to see whether the price looks right compared with other similar properties for sale. How easy is it to find your house online? Does it come up near the top of one of the price brackets or is in the middle or lower?

Can you put right move link up for us to view? School,holidays perhaps not a great time for house hunting especially if yours is likely to appeal to a family

Feedback from viewings? Why have you had no offers? Maybe adjust price.
