Multiple estate agencies selling for you, how many is too much?

They wouldn`t have been having the (online) conversation even a few months ago, and people wouldn`t have been fretting about how they advertise their house for sale (see numerous threads on here) they would just be signing papers and taking the money. Sentiment has shifted big time, that is my point.

Only for super expensive houses though. This isn't a big secret - it was quite widely predicted before SDLT and Brexit, and has been well reported during.
I would now expect it to pick up a little given Sterlings collapse in October, for a Chinese millionaire London property now looks very affordable. But I'm not really an expert on such matters so take that with a pinch of salt.


Either way, for an average person selling an average house, that end of the market is irrelevant. Where I am houses are certainly not selling for less than they did 6 months ago.

Many people believe that having 2 estate agents will make them work harder in order to secure the sale.

Not true unless its a pretty expensive house. If your house is on the market with 1 agent on rightmove/zoopla, then it will get necessary exposure.

There is a house near me with 3 agent boards outside. The houses are stunning but a bridge was built nearby a few years back and has turned the road the houses are on into a very busy and dangerous road.

Screams desperation.

The idea that you can somehow "trick" a buyer into paying bubble prices in this market by just using one EA is pretty laughable.

Using one EA, I completed on one of my rural properties this week with an 8% uplift from the "peak" 2007 price I paid for it; sentiment is a b.itch isn't it!

Maybe one of these other 5 has my future buyer on their books?

What century are you in?

Is your target market a few doddery old dears with no internet?

Or is that you?

IMO if the price is right it shouldn`t make any difference, the more people that see it the better?

If Trump gets in that will be the next big leg down for UK property IMO.

Whatever you're smoking i want some.
