Avoiding inflated estate agents fees

When it comes to selling your property, you want to follow the path of least resistance. Yes, you want to make as much profit as possible, but you also don’t want to have your house on the market for up to a year without any real interest, or have to worry about avoiding inflated estate agents fees.

The harsh reality is that estate agents generally prey on the greed of homeowners. They’ll evaluate a home, tell home owners exactly what they want to hear (i.e. flatter them with a vastly inflated valuation), get them to sign contracts and then battle to sell the house for the inflated amount,. What typically happens is that agents start suggesting price reductions some months later, and, inevitably, you end up having to settle for a reduced price.

This is a widespread problem, and it is well worth noting that just because an estate agent is a member of a certified organisation, it doesn’t make them immune to inflating house prices in order to earn a greater commission.

Indeed, many of our clients turned to MPG Investments’ fast, effective service after their estate agents failed to deliver on their promises. Remember: MPG guarantees that we’ll buy your house in only 7 days. No delays, no empty promises and no inflated estate agents fees.

The risks of overpricing your property

Home buyers take note when a property has been on the market for a while, or if there are too many estate agents marketing it. The conclusion is that there is something wrong with the property, which could lead to them avoiding the house altogether.

If your home is overpriced, it will take you longer to sell it. This means that you’ll have to go through the effort of maintaining your home in a clean, presentable condition for longer, as you never know when estate agents will bring prospective buyers around to have a look.

The longer your house is on the market, the longer you have to wait until you’re free from the shackles of high mortgage payments and debt. The length of time that you have to wait until you find a buyer could be the final straw, breaking you financially. When faced with threats of repossession or other equally serious financial difficulties, there is no time to sit back and wait for the right buyer to come along.

And lastly, even if you do manage to garner some interest despite the over-inflated price, the prospective buyer will more than likely send their own surveyor to do a valuation. Once the valuator establishes that the price of your home is much higher than it should be, you’ll have to reduce your price, and even risk losing the buyer’s interest.
