When my wife and I chose to sell our house, we sought out three agents in the area to value the property - Michael Anthony being one of these. Unfortunately, for us, we chose to go with another agent who had a slightly cheaper fee and 'valued' the house £10k higher. We were locked into a 16-week contract which seemed never-ending, had very few viewings and no offers. We found the whole experience extremely demoralising, however we remembered the professionalism, and the enthusiasm for the property, shown by Michelle from Michael Anthony and knew once our contract was up, we would go back.
Michelle came back to the house, remembered every nuance of our previous conversation, despite four months having passed, and reassured us our house would sell, and soon. Having then signed up the difference between the first agent and Michael Anthony became even clearer - there was an energy about Michelle and her colleagues that was completely missing previously. The house was inundated with viewings with Michael Anthony seeking potential buyers out, not just waiting for calls. It took three weeks for us to sell our house.
Throughout this process I had come into contact with Satpal at Michael Anthony, who showed just as much enthusiasm for our house as Michelle, and was open and honest with me at all times - very refreshing in an industry notorious for telling clients what they want to hear. Satpal managed the purchase of our property extremely well, negotiating a very good price for us. He also introduced us to the house we would eventually end up buying! Oddly, looking through Rightmove I had dismissed the new property (I don't remember why now), so when Satpal mentioned it and I declined I heard surprise in his voice, so I said I'd give it a chance. Satpal knew what I was after and knew this gave me everything I needed - he knew better than I did on what I was looking for!
I could go on and on about how good they have been, but I would never dream of using a different agent now.
Comment on agent fees
You have to ask yourself, what good is a 1% fee if the agent can't sell your home? I'd rather pay a higher percentage of something, than 1% of nothing. Selling the home was the objective, and the objective was met, absolutely so.
