I would be more inclined to use an online estate agency - purely with life being hectic - <as most people's are> the convenience of browsing the market for an ideal house in the comfort of your own home is a more inviting solution.

You're coming from a buyer's perspective, in which case it doesn't really matter whether the website you're browsing is run by a traditional EA with an active website, or an internet-only operation.

The results will be the same from your perspective.

The challenge faced by Online Estate Agencies is obtaining those valued instructions. If you already have a track record of sales in a particular area, and have contacts - this will certainly help. Charging lower commission rates is an enticement in some cases - however most Vendors are happy to use a high street estate agent and pay a decent fee with the perceived belief that the agent will obtain the best possible price by virtue of having a traditional high street office.
