Selling your home can be a challenging time and it is understandable that vendors are looking for support, guidance and assurance. If you are selling a home for the first time, it can be particularly daunting but people who have sold homes on many occasions, still have concerns and worries. As there are so many variable factors associated with selling property, it is best to get as much help as possible and this is where clear communication has a big part to play.
At Spencer Harvey, we pride ourselves on the support we offer, and we are always available if you want to chat about the property market. Therefore, the findings of a recent study interest us but don’t surprise us. In a survey of 1,000 people who had bought or sold property recently, 56% of respondents said they preferred face to face communication with an agent. This is something we agree with and while it is not always possible or suitable, it is a form of communication that clarifies matters and should make things easier for you.
Telephone and email are popular communication options with estate agents
Other responses showed that 16% of respondents would prefer to communicate by telephone while 15% of respondents would prefer to communicate via email. 5% of people asked said they were looking for online chat with an estate agent and then there were small returns for text messages and communication via personal apps or a dashboard.
There will always be a need to exchange documents in writing, even though there are movements to the digital age, but when it comes to discussing aims and ambitions, a face to face chat is always effective. At Spencer Harvey, we now each household has their own idea on where they want to live or how they want to proceed with the sales process. As experienced estate agents, we are happy to take the lead on this process, but we know that this is your property move, and it is important that your opinions and views are aired, shared and acted upon.
