Disadvantages of Not Hiring Estate Agency Services Bolton

Okay, you have a home in Bolton! Yes, you want to sell it or let it! And then your mind goes into an overdrive thinking about whether to hire estate agency services or to go through the grind of selling it yourself. It is not an easy decision, mind you, and you can go terribly wrong too. Here we are listing some of the disadvantages of NOT hiring estate agency services-

1. Your lack of experience

Unless you have made a private sale of a property in Bolton before, you may actually complicate the process of selling due to ignorance and naivety. Estate agency services sell properties every day and so they know the nitty- gritties of the process inside and out. There are a lot of issues involved and it may be just too much to handle at once for you with no experience of selling privately.

2. You need to have the salesman quirks

Estate agents are trained to handle customers and squeeze most value for their clients out of a deal. They know how to communicate and their façade is a very valuable asset. By removing an estate agent from the equation, you essentially become the salesman. If you don’t have the gift of salesmanship you may find it difficult to deal with buyers directly.

3. The time factor

It’s a busy world and time flies fast. We don’t have all the time in the world to sit and wait in Bolton for the property to sell. If you put up your house for sale privately, you don’t know how long it will take for you to find the correct buyer. Here is where estate agency services come into the picture. They have ready lists of customers who want to own a home in Bolton. You can make a quick sale if you contact them.

4. Doesn’t it sound boring to be a frequent tour guide?

It doesn’t matter how you sell your house or whom you sell it to.The potential buyers always want to have a look at your property in Bolton before finalizing the deal. Doesn’t it sound boring to keep giving random people tours of your house till it sells? It’s the job of estate agents. Let them handle the house tours and sweet talk with the customers. They have a special talent in influencing them.

5. The final profit

You may think that by not hiring estate agency services to handle your sale of property will save you from paying them the commission. Beware! The valuation might not be correct, you may end up receiving a lower price. This may lead to lower profits. In the long run it would seem advisable to hire a reputed estate agency services in Bolton to make a proper sale.
