Six Qualities to Look for in a Great Estate Agent

Choosing the right estate agent can feel like a big decision but with a few key qualities in mind, you can make the process much simpler and set yourself up for a smooth, successful move. Here’s what truly matters when selecting the right partner to sell your home.

1. Local knowledge that really means something - A great agent doesn’t just know the market they understand your community. From transport links and schools to neighbourhood feel and buyer demand, local insight helps position your home perfectly and attract the right interest from day one.

2. Honesty you can rely on - Trust is everything. The best agents are transparent from the start offering clear advice, realistic expectations, and genuine guidance, even when it’s not what you were expecting to hear. You should feel confident your agent always has your best interests at heart.

3. Clear, consistent communication - Selling your home is a journey, and you deserve to be kept in the loop. A strong agent communicates well with both you and potential buyers, offering regular updates and quick responses so you’re never left wondering what’s happening next.

4. A great listener - You should feel heard. A quality agent listens to your goals, understands your preferences, and adapts to your preferred way of working whether that’s email, calls, texts, or face-to-face meetings.

5. Strong local connections - A well-connected agent can make all the difference. From active buyers and local businesses to mortgage brokers, surveyors, photographers and tradespeople, a wide network helps your sale move faster, smoother and with less stress.

6. Smart use of modern marketing - Today’s buyers expect more than just a listing. The best agents use technology to elevate your property through social media, digital marketing, video, drone photography and more to ensure your home stands out in the market.
