One of the BIGGEST mistakes Estate Agents make...

Half of your buyers that bought in 2022 will move within 6 years and 18 weeks ( Land Registry Figures) Surveys around the world show consistently that upto 9 out of 10 homebuyers would use the agent they bought their house off to sell it in the future ( when asked after just moving in) So why do only 1 on 8 buyers use the same agent they bought off when they came to sell a few years later?

Estate Agents: The One Thing You Need To Do In 2023 To Be Successful

  #1 thing Estate Agents have to do in 2023👇 In this 2023 property market, compared to 2022, the one big change is the time between listing and selling a property has increased from a few weeks to nearly a couple of months So if you've got a market where the time it takes has at least doubled and nearly tripled to find a buyer, then you're going to have an increasing cost while you're marketing. So therefore, getting to your seller quicker to get an adjustment in price and using the secret weapon of ‘property market stats’ as your ammunition to educate your seller, the more successful you will be If you can get the property into that ‘sell price zone’ faster, you'll find a buyer and therefore the faster you'll help your vendor move and get paid your commission which is what we need to be doing.

Uncovering the Dark Side of Bragging in the Estate Agency Business: Why it's Costing You Listings and Reputation

However, with this newfound power comes great responsibility, and estate agents must be mindful of how they present themselves and their businesses online.

No other professionals in any other industry feel the need to brag about their market share and success on social media.
