Over the past few years the rise of the online estate agent has been expediential. The increasing number of agents who offer a ‘no-fuss, cheap service’ online has given buyers and sellers a tricky choice to make. Stick with the traditional high-street estate agent, or move to the online sphere?

Whilst comprehensive, high-profile advertising promoting the benefits of online estate agents has been extremely prevalent on our TV screens in recent times, there is of course a need for consumers to understand the full picture…

Up-front fees?

With an online estate agent, you will usually pay for your fees up front, whereas with David Robinson Estates you don’t pay until your property is sold. This means of course that there’s an increased risk of paying money without actually selling your property…

You can’t beat local knowledge

Many online estate agents often talk about being able to offer local ‘experts’, whilst still being cheaper. However, in many cases this isn’t the case and the National Trading Standards team even issued a warning over these type of claims https://thenegotiator.co.uk/trading-standards-warns-online-agents-not-make-unsubstantiated-claims/

The expert, local knowledge provided at David Robinson Estates is built on years of living and working in the Leicestershire area and the feedback we regularly receive from our customers is how they’re impressed with our expertise.

After-sales support is limited.

Selling your home or property can be a lengthy process, which is why it’s crucial to have your estate agent by your side throughout. We’ve built up our reputation over the years as a friendly, local and expert estate agent by ensuring that we’re with our customers from day 1 until completion and beyond. We understand how crucial it is for our customers to pick up the phone and speak directly with our Managing Director about any issues they might have. Quite simply, that isn’t something that can be said about online estate agents.

If you want to sell your property with a trusted, local and friendly estate agent that provides support right throughout the process, then please speak to our team today via 01455 285 555 or by visiting us in store.
