Is it time to change agents ?

Deciding whether it's time to change estate agents is an important decision that depends on various factors. Here are some indicators that might suggest it's time for a change:

Lack of Communication: If your current agent is not keeping you informed about the progress of your property sale or providing updates on market activities, it could be a sign of poor communication.

Ineffective Marketing: If your property has been on the market for an extended period without significant interest, it might be worth reassessing the marketing strategies employed by your current agent.

Unsatisfactory Results: If your property has not received offers or the offers received are significantly below your expectations, it might be time to explore alternative approaches.

Mismatched Goals: If your agent's goals and strategies don't align with your objectives, whether it's in terms of pricing, timing, or marketing approach, it could lead to frustration.

Lack of Local Expertise: If your agent lacks knowledge about the local market conditions, recent sales, and neighborhood dynamics, it may hinder their ability to effectively position your property.

Unprofessional Conduct: Any unprofessional conduct, such as not respecting agreed-upon terms, failing to meet deadlines, or displaying a lack of integrity, may warrant a reconsideration.

Limited Availability: If your agent is consistently unavailable or unresponsive, it can be a source of frustration, especially during critical stages of the selling process.

Change in Circumstances: If your circumstances change, such as needing to sell quickly or experiencing a shift in your priorities, it may be necessary to reassess your agent's ability to meet your updated requirements.

New Year, fresh goals, if moving home by spring 2026 is on your list, now’s the moment to plan. Understand how long properties took to go under offer and complete in 2025, and the key steps you need to hit your timeline. Read on to map out your best move ever.

In a changing property market, it’s natural for landlords to reassess their portfolios. Recently, many property owners have been considering selling their rental properties, but for a large number of landlords, retaining rather than selling may offer far greater long-term value.
