Interesting new research has shown that in recent months the market share of the TV estate agents has peaked and is now in decline. It seems that their model of up-front fees and minimal service delivery has struggled as the market conditions have got tougher – not surprising as it’s in these conditions that sellers need genuine expertise from their agent and a proper level of service to ensure that a sale gets through all the legal loopholes and actually exchanges and completes.
The old adage that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is, was never truer than with people claiming to deliver Champagne service and marketing on a beer fee. Estate agency is a people business and always will be and while technology can help in many things, on its own it won’t get you the sale that you so desperately need to move on with your life.
