Not happy with your current estate agent? It is easy to change if you want to.
Selling your home is a big transition, and it can be incredibly frustrating when you feel that things aren't progressing as they should. If you've been on the market for a while and are not happy with the level of service or interest you're receiving, you might be wondering what your options are.
At Roocrofts, we often speak with homeowners who are on the market with other agents and feel "stuck." If that sounds familiar, here are a few simple steps you can take to regain control of your move:
- Request a Performance Review: Ask your current agent for a breakdown of your "click-through rate" on the portals versus the local average. If your listing isn't performing, ask them specifically why and what they plan to do differently this week to fix it.
- Ask for Honest Feedback: Sometimes agents hold back on telling you the truth about why a property isn't selling. Ask for the "unfiltered" feedback from every person who has viewed (or declined to view) your home.
- Review Your Contract: Check your 'minimum agency period' and your 'notice period.' Most contracts have a set duration, but once that has passed, you are usually free to give notice and move to an agent who will be more proactive.
- Get a Second Opinion: You don't have to wait until your contract ends to talk to another agent. A fresh pair of eyes can often spot exactly why a property has stalled, whether it's the photography, the description, or the digital marketing strategy.
The Roocrofts 'Second Opinion' Service
We offer a completely confidential, no-obligation "Second Opinion" service. We'll take a look at your current marketing, compare it with the latest market data in the area, and give you an honest assessment of what you could do differently to help you move.
You deserve an agent who is as invested in your move as you are. If you'd like a quiet chat about how we can get your journey back on track, I'm here. Just email or give me a call.
