There are many ways to sell a property: by auction, privately, by instructing an estate agent, to name a few and, although it will definitely save you money selling privately, there are many pitfalls in doing so. My partner and I have a combined total of almost 30 years of selling property in the UK and overseas and have compiled an ebook 'How to sell your property quickly'. If you would like to receive a free pdf copy (60 pages) send me your email address and I will send you a copy.

Try using estateagentin. They are an online estate agency but offer the same service as any high street Estate Agent but without charging huge commissions. You can market your property with them and it will be seen on most of the property portals including Right Move and it costs as little as £75.00. There website is easy to use or you can phone them from 8.00am to 10.00pm seven days a week. One of there agents was interviewed on BBC Radio West Midlands this week and they have local agents who are qualified Mortgage Brokers who visit you and offer you help.

It's much simpler getting an estate agent. If you sell by yourself you could save a couple of grand in fees, but don't know whether that money is worth the headaches of wading through legislation, contracts, who you def need to talk to etc.

Find an estate agent that offers a complete package right through the process. There are some good ones out there

It is possible to sell your own home with the aid of the internet.

Some websites even offer to advertise your home for Free.

As always there are pros and cons both ways. The more expensive the home for sale is the more you save in Agent's fees by selling yourself.
