Not Happy with Your Estate Agent? Here’s What You Can Do Next

Selling your home is a big step, and you should feel confident in the support you’re receiving. If something doesn’t feel quite right , whether it’s communication, lack of interest or progress, it’s important to know you have options

Start with an Open Conversation - Often, the first step is simply having an honest conversation.

Raising your concerns clearly can help reset expectations and give your agent the opportunity to address any issues. A good agent will welcome feedback and respond proactively.

Understand What’s Really Happening - If your property isn’t progressing as expected, it’s worth asking for detailed feedback.

  • What are buyers saying?
  • How many viewings are converting into offers?
  • Is the marketing reaching the right audience?

Clear answers will help you understand whether it’s the approach, or something else, that needs to change.

Review Your Current Strategy - Take a step back and look at the bigger picture.

Pricing, presentation and marketing all play a crucial role in generating interest. If one of these elements isn’t quite right, it can impact your results.

Consider a Fresh Perspective - If you’re unsure, a second opinion can be incredibly valuable.

A different agent may highlight opportunities to reposition your home, whether that’s through pricing, improved marketing or a more proactive approach.

Know That Changing Agent Is an Option - If things still aren’t improving, it’s important to remember that you’re not tied in forever.

Review your agreement, understand the notice period, and if needed, consider making a change that better supports your goals.

A home is so much more than bricks and mortar. It’s where everyday moments become memories – first steps, family celebrations, Sunday lunches, summers in the garden and everything in between. But sometimes life changes, and the home that once fitted perfectly no longer quite works for the way you want to live.

The greatest compliment we can receive is a recommendation. If you've had a great experience with Perry Bishop, why not share it with someone you know? As a thank you, you'll both be rewarded when they choose us to sell or let their property.
