New research from HomeOwners Alliance has uncovered that regardless of the rise of online agents, 90% of homeowners still opt for local high street agents to sell their homes. Following the reveal of these statistics, Cheshire Estate Agency, Wright Marshall are encouraging homeowners to talk to a property professional with local knowledge when looking to put their house on the market.
The internet has many benefits, from instant answers to online shopping but homeowners are yet to fully commit to the online world when it comes to selling their property. This is not surprising due to the gravity of the transaction: buying and selling a home is often the largest purchase of a lifetime, and many will look for the personal touch that high street agents bring.
Robert Reed head of the Tarporley office comments: “Selling your home will be one of the biggest financial transactions in your life and so it is important to take numerous factors into account, including the value of long-term local knowledge and the ability to speak with professionals face-to-face. Here at Wright Marshall, you can put a face to the name and receive a bespoke service for any property, whether it is a townhouse, country cottage or large estate.”
Reed goes onto add: “With homes that are more unusual and potentially challenging to sell, this is even more the case. When it comes to these types of properties, a traditional agent is highly sought after, as homeowners look for the opportunity to sit down with us and discuss every aspect of an instruction. Our professional expertise is highly valued and always offered throughout the whole process of a sale.”
