Is my agent doing enough ?

[foxelestates]

Hi Scarlett, I see you have already had a lot of advice. I work for an Independent Estate Agency and from an agent's point of view, I would say it's perfectly reasonable to request new photos be taken. Showing off the best aspects of a property is of great importance when marketing it. It's not about being misleading with photos, but making sure the photo is well lit and takes in as much floor space as possible is key. It is in the interest of both yourself and the agent to market the property well! At our agency we always ask our vendors for photo approval and ask if they would like to make any changes or additions to our descriptions. As far as them doing enough for you, they should be advertising on your behalf on numerous property portals (rightmove.com, findaproperty.com and zoopla!) to ensure maximum exposure. Many agents still use newspaper advertisments for their sales properties. If you're concerned about the marketing of your property, give your agent a call or arrange a meeting - afterall, you'll be paying them a fee for the sale.

It is their job to ensure that properties are sold quickly in order to secure a rapid turnover. So if he's not up to it, talk to him .
