Why Choosing the Right Estate Agent in 2025 Could Make (or Cost) You Thousands
Ah, 2025. The year of flying cars—okay, not quite—but it is the year of new regulations aimed at raising the bar for estate agency service standards. That means sellers like you need to choose your estate agent more carefully than ever.
At Browns, we’ve seen it all. And while those budget agents might flash a tempting low fee, let’s be real: you usually get what you pay for.
Let’s break down why cheaper isn’t always better (and why picking the right agent could mean a bigger payout for you):
💸 The Hidden Costs of Budget Agents
📸 Weak Marketing
Professional photography, premium listings, virtual tours—these aren’t luxuries, they’re essentials. But low-fee agents often skip them to cut costs. The result? Less exposure, fewer viewings, and a home that lingers on the market.
📞 Poor Communication
Ever felt ghosted by your agent? Budget agencies often juggle way too many properties, and sellers get lost in the shuffle. Missed updates = missed opportunities.
🤯 Overloaded Agents
When agents are stretched too thin, your sale doesn’t get the attention it deserves. Negotiation suffers, timing suffers, YOU suffer.
📉 Lower Sale Prices
Stats don’t lie: sellers using cut-price agents often walk away with 5–10% less than those who go full-service. That “cheap” fee can end up being the most expensive mistake you make.
As Warren Buffett wisely said: “Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.”
