How do online agents work?

Most online agents offer more or less the same services as traditional estate agents but with more flexibility and a modern approach to selling properties. If you are using an online agent, you will most likely be asked to pay a fixed fee instead of sale commission, which is usually a lot more expensive. Fixed fees are normally paid upfront regardless of how long it will take to sell your property. On the other hand, Housesimple, Yopa and Emoov have recently introduced No Sale, No Fee service packages. Online agents are generally much more convenient and easier to get in contact with their call centres, which are open evenings and weekends. Most of the estate agent service packages can be tailored according to client needs and tracking viewings and feedbacks is done through an online account system.

What is a hybrid estate agent?

Hybrid agencies employ local property professionals to perform estate agent services without having to spend money on a network of offices in major UK cities. If you choose to sell your properties with a hybrid estate agent, you will be appointed a local agent to value the property, take photographs, create property listings and more. When your property is listed with a hybrid agent, all of the admin work, negotiation and viewings will be arranged through the experts at the head office. Bear in mind that some agents might charge additional fees to arrange viewings.

There are so many pros and cons of using online or hybrid estate agents. If you think that selling your property will be easy and you have time to conduct viewings yourself, choosing online agents could save you money. If you prefer having a local expert guiding you through the property sale process then choose a hybrid agent. Taking everything into consideration, traditional estate agents have started becoming more modern and incorporating more and more modern technologies to make finding a house and moving house much easier and faster. We advise you to take a look at the latest customer reviews, decide what you like and contact the right online/hybrid agents for you.
