I had heard all the news about the Property BOOM!! But you can never be sure so I requested 4 agents to carry out valuations at my home. It has a been a family home for over 15 years now so the descion was not easy and we was not totally sure. All the valuations I had were all of similar value apart from 1 who as we can see now massively over valued the property even thou we had concerns on the price, this naturally made us at this point lean towards that agent hoping for the best possible price. How ever Chris from Century 21 who was the final agent we saw, choose to take a lot of time talking and more importantly explaining the current market to us and what we can expect, he had strong views on the higher valuation and felt that it would out price us and waste a lot of our time on market. As we was not sure if we wanted to sell at this point we explained we would need a little time to think and digest the news. Over the Next week we had over 20 calls from the agents that came out keep asking if we had made a descion and if we didn't do it now we might not get our price. After a while it became very annoying all the calls, but all credit to him, Chris from Century rather than call us 3 times a week would send us bits and bobs about what is happening in market this week if there was any change or properties coming on like ours. The main thing we took from this was all the price differences but it did show us what prices properties were selling for rather than what people want to say its worth. We went with Century 21 due to the reasonable fee and because chris was very helpful throughout and made the desion process a lot easier on the family. We have now secured a sale with a really great buyer and are happy to be making the move. Chris was always at our viewings and seemed to get along with the buyers very well and they seemed to have nice things to say about him also.
Overall we was really happy with the service and the outcome but mostly thankful to Chris for helping guide us through a tricky market ¢â‚¬â€œ we also sold above our asking price using Chris's recommendation on price. Hopfully we wont be selling for a while but if we do we hope Chris is still around.
