Time to think about switching agents?

Mar 25, 2019

How’s your sale going? If you’ve been on the market for a while, you might have asked yourself the following question:

“Do I need to reduce my price to sell?”

This is a decision that many people make. They stay on the market for months on end, steadily reducing their price whilst sending out negative messages to potential buyers. It’s a downward spiral that can feel incredibly depressing.

A better solution is to change agents and regain control over the selling process.

What are the main benefits of switching agents?

1. New photographs and descriptions. A new approach to marketing your property is likely to capture the attention of fresh buyers.

2. Appearing as a fresh listing. A new listing encourages buyers to take notice and respond quickly for fear of missing out.

3. Brand new listing date. An old listing date implies that there’s something wrong with your property and encourages low offers. You don’t want this.

4. The support of a new, proactive agent. Instructing a new agent is like appointing a new football coach – they’re likely to be proactive, engaged and enthusiastic, and this can make all the difference.

If you feel trapped by your current agent or you haven’t experienced much activity recently, we would strongly recommend considering a change. If you’d like to speak to Open Door about this, please complete our contact form and we’ll give you a call ASAP.
