Deciding to sell your property is a major life choice. At Jan Forster Estates, we truly understand the significance of this step. That’s why we’re committed to highlighting why choosing a traditional high street agent like us can make all the difference.
From our deep local market knowledge and personalized service to our extensive network and expert negotiating skills, we ensure a smooth and stress-free selling experience. With a trusted, face-to-face approach, we’re dedicated to guiding you through every stage of the process, helping you achieve the best possible outcome with confidence and peace of mind.
What is a High Street Estate Agent?
A high street estate agent will manage every aspect of your property sale with professionalism and care. From creating effective marketing campaigns and attracting qualified buyers, to conducting viewings and handling all the legal formalities required for a successful exchange, they provide comprehensive support throughout the entire process. This full-service approach takes the stress off your shoulders, ensuring your sale progresses smoothly and efficiently from start to finish.
Personal Service
One of the greatest benefits of choosing a high street agent is the personalised service you receive. Having a dedicated, friendly, and professional expert by your side means you’re not just another transaction- you’re a valued client. Building a trusting relationship with someone who understands your unique needs offers invaluable reassurance and support throughout the often complex and emotional journey of selling your home.
Accompanied Viewings
A major advantage of working with a high street agent is that they often offer accompanied viewings, handling property visits on your behalf. This personal touch not only saves you time and hassle but also ensures that potential buyers receive expert guidance and answers to their questions during the viewing. Unlike many online estate agents, this service provides added convenience and professionalism, helping to present your home in the best possible light.
Experience and Knowledge
Opting for a high street agent means leveraging expert knowledge and extensive experience. Local estate agents like us have a deep understanding of the areas we serve, giving us a distinct advantage in knowing the nuances of the local property market. We are familiar with the current trends, pricing strategies, and key features that attract buyers. More importantly, we know what to look out for, the right questions to ask, and the subtle signs to identify during viewings to help you make the best-informed decisions and achieve a successful sale.
Responsibility
Perhaps the most critical phase of selling a property is reaching exchange and completion, and high street agents are uniquely equipped to guide you through this process. With locally trained staff who understand the intricacies of the market and legal requirements, we work diligently to ensure a smooth progression toward exchange of contracts. In contrast, choosing an online estate agent often means you manage much of the process yourself, which can be overwhelming. At Jan Forster Estates, we take the heavy responsibility off your shoulders, handling the complexities behind the scenes while keeping you informed every step of the way, providing you with peace of mind throughout your sale.
Fees
The saying “you get what you pay for” rings especially true when it comes to choosing an estate agent. At Jan Forster Estates, we take pride in delivering exceptional service backed by competitively priced fees that truly reflect the quality and dedication we offer. What’s more, in most cases, you won’t pay a penny until your sale is completed, unlike many online agents who require upfront fees. This means you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re investing in a trusted service that puts your interests first.
Here’s what our clients have to say…
“Through their photos and description our house sold in less than 1 day…As it sold so quickly I thought going with a high street estate agent was almost a waste of time. However, Andrew held everything together. He was a direct link with our buyers and was very quick for any correspondence. I can guarantee I wouldn't be writing this review in our new house if we had gone with an online estate agent.” (Mr Campbell, Google Review: Jan Forster Estates – Gosforth)
