Here is our guide to choosing an Estate Agent.

Choosing the right estate agent to sell your property is very important:

Check the agent belongs to an organisation such as the National Association of Estate Agents (NAEA), or the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors or the Ombudsman for Corporate Estate Agents (OCEA) scheme. Such memberships gives you both comfort and protection
If the agent you previously used did a good job, consider using that agent person or agency again
A good estate agent will answer the telephone and e-mails quickly
If an agent has a website to advertise your property, find out how quickly details are posted - it should be within 24 hours
Check how long the agent has been operating in the area
Ask if the agent brings a list of buyers for a property like yours
Find out what the agency does if it cannot find a buyer
Carefully check what kind of contract you sign with the agent. There are different types of agency agreements
The cheapest is not always the best. Find an agent that gives the service you need and want
Agree with the agent the top 10 sales points of your property
Although no qualifications are needed to be an estate agent, some do have training. Ask if your agent has had any.

Many people complain about the commission charged by estate agents in the UK. But these rates are amongst the lowest in the world. For example in the US agents charge 6% of the property price while in Portugal it is 10%. A good estate agent more than earns the commission.
