Having seen Richardsons’ success rate in recent months, compared to other estate agents in Gibraltar, the seller’s decided against the often mistaken path made by many sellers in Gibraltar, of instructing a plethora of estate agents to sell their property.
In the seller’s words: “we could see the proactivity of Richardsons on the local property scene and could see how many other agents were just listing properties but making little effort to sell them”
The sellers opted to instruct us on a 12 week sole agency basis. This gave us the ability to see the entire market, advise the seller accordingly, present the property correctly and sell the property tenaciously.
We had a phenomenal response to the property and secured a chain-free buyer about half way through the 12 week period.
As the market comes around to the realization that multi-agency listing simply serves to raise a red flag over your property that screams “this house won’t sell”, we will start to see Estate Agents having to actually work for their money.
Whether you choose to instruct Richardsons or another Estate Agent, make sure you are only signing up to a 12 week agreement and make it clear you will be going elsewhere after the 12 weeks is up. After all, if the Estate Agent thinks they will have the instruction for ever until it sells, where is the urgency for them to proactively go out and sell it?
You do have a choice!
When it comes to selling properties in Gibraltar, it can often seem like all Estate Agents are the same and they all do the same thing. With so many agents operating in the same old fashioned way of sharing everything and just hoping the phones ring, then this is largely the case. Why wouldn't you instruct that old school friend just to do them a favour?
If it sells, it sells, right? If not we have to just leave it on the market until it does, right?
Wrong.
At Richardsons we offer 12 week sole agency agreements.
We have to get this right and we have to get the job done for you.
If we don't sell it, you can leave and go elsewhere.
Put us to the test. Sign up with Richardsons for a 12 week sole agency agreement. No catch. No sale, no fee. Let us show you how Estate Agency really works.
