The Alternative
Selling your home through an estate agent isn't always going to guarantee you a fast sale for the price you were promised. Surely you would be better off keeping the agents commission for yourself and selling your home without incurring any costs whatsoever wouldn't you?
Quick Property Sale compared to how an estate agent works...
Estate Agents
- You contact the agent
- You arrange a meeting
- You wait a week for the agent to arrange to take photos of the home
- The estate agent draws up the particulars of the home once the photos and
measurements have been taken. And, not forgetting to prepare your HIP
- An efficient agent will have the property in the local newspaper within 3 weeks
- If you are lucky the property will also appear on an internet site
- 5 weeks or so after first contacting the agent you may begin to get viewings
- The home must be cleaned from top to bottom and any refurbishments required must be taken care of – these will cost you anywhere from £50 to many thousands of pounds.
- The average number of viewings for a home to sell is 10-15 viewings
- Let’s be optimistic and say it takes only 10 viewings to find a buyer. That means the home must stay in pristine condition for another 2-3 weeks.
- Finally, after nearly 7 weeks somebody is interested and they want to buy the home!
- He needs to arrange a mortgage which will take anywhere from 5-7 weeks (if everything goes to plan).
- His solicitors contact your solicitors and the searches and relevant legal work are undertaken in the meantime.
- At this critical moment in the sale he could so easily pull out, and buyers very often do. What if he is unhappy with his solicitor’s findings? What if the mortgage falls through? What if he is offered another property he likes? What if he cannot sell his old home? There are many external factors affecting the buyer, over which you have absolutely no control.
- Assuming the buyer is happy with the legal side of things and the mortgage offer is given, the sale goes through almost 3 months after the first contact with the estate agent.
- But that's ok the agent will cover 3 months worth of mortgage repayments in the meantime, as well as paying your legal fees... Won't he? Oh dear.
This is an optimistic scenario. What if the agent didn't find a buyer? What if you were forced to drop the price to achieve a quick sale?
What would you do if you were gazumped? What if your buyer was gazumped? Because of the huge amount of time estate agents take to sell properties you could leave yourself exposed to all sorts of factors which could seriously affect the progress of your sale.

"Just a quick note from both of us to thank you and your organisation for the efficient and speedy transfer of ownership of our home. As I write this from the comfortable confines of our new apartment, I am marveling not only at the remarkable view and fine location, but also at the consummate ease with which you were able to steer us through the convoluted course of the sale.
One hears so many tales of angst and woe regarding the: "...second most stressful thing most people do in their lives", but we can honestly say we never felt stressed or angst-ridden at any point during the sale, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your help and assistance during the whole process.
Both Marian and I appreciate that our particular circumstances were hardly 'average' yet QPS were able to make the whole process so 'matter-of-fact' that we are left wondering what others do to make things so complicated - although in retrospect we rather suspect that, like the swan gliding serenely across the pond, underneath the little QPS 'legs' must have been paddling like crazy!
We would not hesitate to recommend your services to other potential customers, and indeed have already recommended you to our ex-neighbour, so confident are we that QPS are a solution to the needs of many who might find themselves in a similar situation. As a man who understands the nature of real customer service I hope you may find this unsolicited endorsement of your service to be useful with other potential customers both now, and in the near future".
With grateful thanks
Mr & Mrs Alcott
