What Is the True Added Value of a Good Estate Agent?!

When it comes to selling your home, there are certain things you look for your estate agent to do. From getting an accurate valuation, creating an attractive listing for your property with high-quality photographs and, in the case of Clyde Property, an HD video, carrying out a multi-platform marketing strategy and attracting the right viewers, there are many aspects to a home sale.

But at Clyde Property we take great pride in arguing that our work does not stop at getting people through the door and agreeing on the first offer made. On the contrary, the really hard work starts when trying to sell that home for the maximum value that is fair to all those involved.

We are proud of the fact that last year, 96% of the homes that we sold at Clyde did so at a better price than the initial offer made. One of the most important parts of our job, and when our team gets to showcase our professional negotiation skills, is agreeing on an acceptable offer that our clients are comfortable and happy with.

Sadly, for many Estate Agents, a sale is a sale. Because of this, many agents will happily advise you to accept an offer even though, with a little more effort, they could have negotiated a better deal for you that truly reflects what your home is worth. We know that local insight can make the difference between a good price and a great price, so each of our trained local branch experts has extensive and specific knowledge of their area’s property landscape.

Providing an experienced, dedicated negotiator working on each property sale helps us to create great working relationships with our clients, where we bring our skills and expertise but also take the lead from you, particularly if you aren’t satisfied with an offer that is made. The process is also completely transparent at Clyde Property via our unique MyClyde portal, helping you keep up to date with all the work taking place on your sale by logging in and viewing the daily activity log.

When you are happy with an offer, we don’t just stop there either! Many estate agents may think their job ends once a sale is agreed but a good agent will continue to work alongside you until your completion date to make sure the property buying process moves forward as smoothly as possible and to a timescale that works for all parties involved.
