Traditional vs Online Estate Agents

Looking at this time ten years ago, it's amazing how much technology and the internet has influenced the way that we live. Smartphones have revolutionised the way that we communicate with each other, listen to music, find out the latest news events and now - how we look for our next home. 

Online estate agents are part of this advancement, with a wealth of knowledge and technology at their disposal, they offer a range of different benefits to you in comparison to high street ones by harnessing many different beneficial outlets:

• Cost effective service. Because of the way that they do business, online estate agents save money themselves - which means that you do too! This can sometimes stop you from unnecessarily paying thousands of pounds of your hard earned money. Usually online estate agents charge a one-off fee with nothing else added on top. High street agents take a percentage of your final sale price which means the more your house is worth, the more money you lose. 
• Utilise the power of the internet. Online estate agents such as Open House Hastings advertise properties on the top, most visited advertising platforms such as Righmove, Zoopla, Globrix and Primelocation. This means that you could get a potential buyer looking at your home whilst looking on their phone on the bus! 
• They make you're home as attractive as possible for potential buyers. Instead of just a simple picture of the outside of your property; online estate agents give people information such as floor plans so that they can truly get an feel of your property. 
• House viewings are an advantage. While online estate agents may not have the ability to show you around a house themselves; this can actually be a beneficial. The person who knows the most about a property is the homeowner and can therefore offer advice and insights that an estate agent wouldn't be able to.

"There's nothing more disheartening than being shown around a flat by someone that knows less about it than you" he stated, calling estate agents as "crooked as a barrel of fish" because of their need to sell properties. This reputation is something that has been a common description of the industry, but there is now a new form of Estate Agent that is swiftly erasing this perception.
