Many of my clients tell me that, when considering which estate agent to appoint, they were tempted to use one of the larger regional firms with several branches. They were told that more branches equals more buyers, which on the surface sounds appealing.<\/span><\/h3>\n

But don\u2019t be fooled. The \u201cmore-buyers\/faster sale\u201d claim is standard practice among multi-branch estate agencies. However, the reality can be quite different, with vendors being given false hopes at best, and a lack of accountability at worst.<\/p>\n

Firstly, most sales negotiators are targeted on their sales, and whilst their managers may encourage them to \u201cshare\u201d their buyers with their sister branches, many would rather swim in a pool of piranhas than let one of their buyers go to another agent \u2013 even within the company!<\/p>\n

Secondly, if a buyer registers in a particular branch, it suggests they want to buy in the area covered by that branch \u2013 not in the area covered by another branch. Being offered \u201cout of scope\u201d locations can annoy purchasers who feel they are being \u201cpalmed off\u201d. If they are indeed looking in another area, then the efficiency of the internet will certainly ensure that they are also registered there as well.<\/p>\n

Estate Agency is an intensely local business and I am grateful to the many local homeowners who have entrusted their move to me over the years. I believe it is not only my depth knowledge of the Hailsham & Eastbourne area, its people and its property, my straight-talking sincere advice or hard work that matters most to them, but also the fact that in employing me to sell their home, they receive my personal accountability. After all \u2013 it\u2019s my name that\u2019s above the door!<\/p>\n

At a time when most agents draw from the same pool of buyers, it is accountability in agency that makes the difference. Accountability affects communication, commitment and results \u2013 the three key components of a successful relationship with your chosen local estate agent.<\/p>\n
