How can vendors stand out from in a competitive marketplace?
In order to make their house more appealing to buyers and encourage higher offers, homeowners can take some steps to stand out from the competition. Homeowners can start by ensuring that their house is in good condition before putting it on the market. This includes repairing any damage, painting any faded areas, and decluttering. They should also stage their home in a way that makes it look inviting and appealing to potential buyers. Additionally, homeowners can make themselves available to show their home to interested buyers at their convenience. By taking some extra steps, homeowners can increase their chances of selling their house quickly and for a good price.
How does a good estate agent help homeowners connect with house buyers?
A good estate agent will help homeowners connect with potential buyers who are interested in their property. They will be able to provide homeowners with advice on how to make their house more appealing to buyers and can answer any questions that homeowners may have. Additionally, a good estate agent will be able to negotiate on behalf of the homeowners to get them the best possible price for their property. By working with a good estate agent, homeowners can increase their chances of selling their house quickly and for a good price.

Colby Short, Co-founder and CEO of GetAgent.co.uk, commented: “The housing market is yet to show any signs of running low on steam and it seems as though every week there are reports of property values reaching new record highs. This house price performance is being driven by a sustained level of market activity from the nation’s homebuyers and this demand, coupled with a lack of stock, is the driving factor behind house price inflation. So when you consider that there are almost 380,000 homes currently listed for sale across Britain, worth a huge £117bn in the current market, and this still isn’t enough, it really does put our appetite for homeownership into perspective.”
