Not convinced? Let talk figures, approximately 95% of home buyers start their search online. Gone are the days of spending all your time going from branch to branch enquiring at your local estate agent, you are a busy person so this is not what you want to be doing. From personal experience working in high street estate agents, there is less and less footfall and genuine custom coming through the door. These shops cost a substantial amount of money to keep open resulting in you, the vendor having to pay on average 1.8% on the sale of your home. But this no longer needs to be the case.
We all want the same for less and will shop around to try and make a saving from a tin of beans to buying a car. When it comes to selling your house why not do the same?
For the average person a property is the most expensive purchase you will make in your lifetime, may it be your home, business or investment; you worked hard to get it so maximise the return.
Online is not only the way forward for estate agency, if we look at large companies such as Littlewoods and Woolworths who moved from the high street to the world wide web due to the growing costs of literally keeping the lights on! If we look at the big players in online retail for example Amazon the price of goods is noticeably cheaper than a high street equivalent.
So my message to you is to move with the times and keep that extra bit of cash so you can treat yourself when Beth Alexandra Property Specialists sell your home for less!
