I did extensive research to try and find the best estate agent to sell our house, initially I thought another well known online agent was the best just because they were on TV... Then I looked deeper into the reviews and found that once your house was under offer, they weren't interested in helping you complete the sale. I found a few similar companies that also had the same feedback. The traditional estate agents charged a small fortune so they were out of the running for us! I then found sellmyhome and the reviews said the whole process was very professional, great service, friendly people, brilliant after sales and sales progression, which it was, every part of it was true. We were sent some beautiful flowers by sellmyhome the day before the photographer arrived which was a lovely touch. The photos of our house were exceptional, the guy really knew his stuff, the angles and lighting perfect for every room, the pictures led you from one room to the next so a buyer could really see how the house flowed. I've kept the photos as an everlasting memory of our house looking its absolute best! The ad went live and within 2hrs we had a request to view, the couple came 2 days later and within a few hours offered full asking price. We opted for the sales completion package, which if you aren't very familiar or confident with the buying and selling house process is well worth the extra money, it wasn't even very expensive. It meant sellmyhome were the go-between for the entire chain, chasing solicitors and agents etc. negotiating offers and keeping everyone in the loop. We had issues with both ends of the chain through the process however Will and Harry @sellmyhome between them helped to ensure everything stayed as on track as they could, some things were totally out of their realms of abilities due to the 'difficult man' we purchased from and the person at the beginning of the chain who dropped out halfway through! The people buying our house used the other well known agent to sell their house that I had considered, these agents were as useful as a chocolate fireguard, they did exactly what I had read in the reviews, which was pretty much nothing once their house was under offer, they failed to communicate with anyone, Harry from sellmyhome ended up doing their job for them! I won't pretend it was a stress-free experience, it was really frustrating at times with the things that happened however these weren't due to sellmyhome, without them we would still be sat in our old house waiting for things to happen, they really did earn their pennies for sales completion! If we ever moved again, or if someone I knew was looking to move, I would have no hesitation in recommending sellmyhome. With the added bonus that the fees are considerably lower than a high street/local estate agent with an exceptional service in with the bargain. Many thanks especially to Harry, he was buying a house himself at the same time, so he could completely relate to our experience, quite how he kept sane with all that going on himself I don't know! Also thanks to Will and the other members of the sellmyhome team, everyone I dealt with was professional, friendly and helpful. Wishing all of you the very best for the future!
Comment on agent fees
Fees are very competitive and transparent so you know what they are from the start.
