Cut out the middle man and sell your home online
October 4, 2008
People buy all sorts of things online these days, from holidays and cars to entertainment and groceries. According to one recent report some people also look for a new home online, and the struggling homeowners that are looking to sell their properties but are experiencing financial issues could save themselves a fortune and gain more control of the situation by selling their property online rather than go through an estate agent.
Many homeowners that are looking to sell are facing the worse downturn that has been seen in decades, and for many the extortionate estate agency fees that are charged on a sale simply add to the financial pressures such as the cost of the Home Information Pack, the arrangement fee on a new mortgages, and the fall in house prices that has already been experienced.
Some homeowners could save an absolute fortune by selling online depending on the value of their home, and with estate agents selling an average of one property per week may find that they have more luck using the Internet.
One official stated: ‘The agent doesn’t really need to be there. For marketing and negotiating the sale of the average £400,000 London home, estate agents would charge nearly £10,000 in needless commission. If you cut out the middle man you can save yourself thousands.’
He continued: ‘Going it alone can actually save you time. With our website you can create an advert from start to finish in under an hour – and it’s really simple. Estate agents are only expensive because they carry high overheads for things like high street offices, staff wages and running costs. We don’t have all that because we aim simply to put “person A” in touch with “person B”, eliminating the need for the expensive and unnecessary third party.’
