However, the skilled agent should have a comprehensive understanding of the delicacies involved in the sale of a more up-market home. \u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Discriminating clients expect a higher level of quality and professionalism. They have probably sold several times in the past and do not wish to be treated as amateurs, but as discerning and informed individuals who are probably fully au fait with current market conditions.<\/p>\n<p>A rare property will attract a select handful of prospective purchasers.

Good agents will therefore provide such buyers with a highly individual service which tells buyers \u201coff the record\u201d when the right property becomes available and will arrange a preview. This is where long-established well-connected agency knocks spots off some of the \u201cnational\u201d brand agencies.<\/p>\n<p>The circumstances of sale can be delicate, with finance also being a sensitive issue. Prestige buyers can take offence if questioned too intensely about their mortgage details. Earnings and loan-to-value ratios become less important in qualifying a buyer, but knowing with whom they bank or which solicitor they use can be just as important. Useful Information can also be gained when your agent is able to strike up a good relationship with your buyer\u2019s selling estate agent if they have one.<\/p>\n<p>An agent experienced in the sale and purchase of fine property should easily be able identify the preferences of those who could be described as \u201cold money\u201d as opposed to \u201cnew money\u201d and are able to work out the balance between prestige and practicality.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #618899;\">Therefore, when selling a finer property, don\u2019t entrust your sale to just any agent, but one who understands a different sort of sale.
