Selling your home is a big decision. It’s not just about finding the right buyer, but making sure you’ve got someone in your corner to guide you through the process and help you get the best possible result. That’s why choosing the right estate agent is so important.
Here’s what to look for when you’re choosing an estate agent to sell your home:
1. Local knowledge
You want an agent who really understands your local market. From pricing to buyer preferences, a local expert knows what works and what doesn’t.

We know the area like the back of our hand, and we understand what buyers are looking for, whether it’s a stylish Brighton apartment, or a quiet coastal retreat.
2. Good reputation
A good track record is everything. Look for agents who’ve successfully sold homes like yours, and check that they have excellent reviews to get a sense of their professionalism and reliability.
