Selling a house privately explained
Mass advertising and exposure for a property sale may not be the favoured approach by all, some prefer a more discreet approach, instead taking advantage of an estate agent’s customer database to find the perfect match for their home.
Can I sell a house without an estate agent?
Now most would regard selling a house privately to be without the assistance of an estate agent, which can be done, however there are many benefits to making use of those with experience in the industry.
At Nicol Estate Agents we have built up our client list over our 10+ years in business and over 100 years’ combined experience in the industry, with our team having worked in senior positions for several large Estate Agents across the West of Scotland.
Not only can we guarantee you a personal approach, but a knowledgable one when it comes to your house sale.
Read on to find out more.
Knowledgable price guidance when selling property
Firstly, selling properties is our bread and butter and over our time in the industry we have have awareness around all of our local areas and would have sold similar properties to yours.
This means that when it comes to providing you with a valuation, you can be rest assured that it has been thoroughly researched and validated at a realistic asking price before being pitched to potential buyers.
This improves the likelihood of your home selling privately quicker, as compared with a personal valuation based on an aspirational figure.
Finding you the right potential buyer
Opting for a private sale with Nicol Estate Agents will not only help you avoid an open house or the back and forth of numerous property viewings, but will give you access to our qualified premium buyers, carefully selected so the whole process can run discreetly, quietly and successfully.
Our database is filled with reliable clients with whom we have built a rapport. We know exactly what they are looking for and are fully aware of their budget, meaning they will see the market value of your home as a fair asking price.
An online presence to sell your house without the visibility
Although choosing to sell a house privately, we still provide homeowners the opportunity to be featured within the private sale section within our website, meaning you can still take advantage of our site traffic without having to share physical images of your home.
Simply put, we place the same standard thumbnail image on each property and provide a short description (location, number of bedrooms and the market value) – all of which will assist in selling your house.
At no point will internal images be shared, however this additional service can prompt awareness of your property and allow you to conduct viewings.
