Have you sold with Zoopla?

[RockinCara]

Has anyone sold a house recently just using Zoopla? Or anything similar. I am executor for my mum’s estate. The sale of her house will go 100% to my brother, but I was told it’s better for me to sell it so he can still get first time buyer status when he buys a house after the sale. He thinks we should just use Zoopla to sell mum’s house as it’s cheaper than estate agents. I think it will be more faff. Presumably we would have to do viewings etc. I would prefer an estate agent. I am just looking for people’s experiences of it.

I try and block out EA when view a property. Their comments are often so inane and more often than not, I'm afraid, they lie : an offer is imminent, or , you must complete within few weeks- and the seller didn't own the house! Took a year and still unsorted. Cost me solicitor fees for nothing. So no, EAs do not make it easier and often press for a low price for quick sale.
