Reduce again or change agent?

[FettleOfKish]

Advice needed please. Our 1 bedroom flat has been bobbing around on this millpond of a market since June last year, came off for a couple of months while we were under offer but that fell through unfortunately.

We have a lively toddler now so are DESPERATE to move. We’re getting viewings now and then and sometimes follow up questions but no offers.

I’m not unhappy with our agent but tempted by a colleagues’ recent sale 2 months after she changed the agent her house had been on with for 3 YEARS.

Currently on the market for a tiny bit more than I paid for it in 2019 which is the lower end of what similar properties in the area are on for, and has been dropped twice since June.

Should we drop the price again and give it another 6 weeks with this agent, or just change now? The one we’re with has a particularly good low fees offer.

For context we’re in Jersey so a captive market, expensive property, and an online portal like rightmove that pretty much all estate agents & buyers use, so just as much chance of the property getting in front of buyers eyes with any agent really.

Change agent, get new photos, new energy. Pay a bit more in fees, if they work for it that’s in your interest rather than low fees lack of commitment

First post nails it.
I realised that my agents really couldn’t have given a shiny shit about whether or not they sold my house, presumably because they had enough other sales to worry about my particular one. (I put
my house in the market last Easter.)
I was out of contract and had been contacted by an agent I had viewed a property through - I gave the original agents the push and went with the new ones in late
summer.
The upshot was that less than a week later, even before my property had been relisted (with way better photos) on the internet, I had received and accepted an offer without dropping the price (the offer was for asking).
Its really worth a shot, and for what it’s worth, my new agents were very open to me going multi-agency without any penalties, which speaks volumes.

Thanks both, you’ve given me the push to act and change agents. In fact a property that would be ideal for us has just come on the market locally so I’ve contacted the agent, asked to see it (they will show without being under offer here) and at the same time mentioned we’re looking for a new agent. We could just about afford to skim £20k off the current asking price for a quick sale. Fingers crossed.
