Look at agents actively marketing properties in KA2 9, checking their current listings, average prices, and market share to understand who has proven local presence.
Request free valuations from at least three agents to compare their suggested asking prices and marketing strategies for your specific property.
Ask about each agent's marketing plan, including online presence, property portals, photography quality, and how they plan to showcase your home to buyers.
Understand the fee structure, whether sole or multi-agency, contract length (typically 8-16 weeks for sole agency), and what services are included.
Choose an agent who demonstrates understanding of the KA2 9 market, including price trends, buyer demographics, and what makes properties sell in this area.
