Welcome To Choices Horley
Horley is the closest community to London Gatwick Airport and it is on the eve of a period of great expansion and improvement. To highlight what an exciting place Horley has become here is some information taken from the Horley Master Plan.
"The Horley Master Plan provides for two thousand six hundred new dwellings to Horley over the next ten years. The development, some of which will be built in rural areas surrounding the town, will include provision for "village" centres, leisure and social facilities, public transport, open spaces and riverside walks".
"London Gatwick Airport continues to expand, bringing the prospect of new jobs to an area that already has a very high level of employment. The town serves as a convenient and strategic base for a number of airlines and associated businesses including Delta, Continental, Virgin and Canada Maritime".
But what about Choices in Horley, what have we got to offer local people? Well we think quite a lot actually. As well as offering a full range of estate agency services including Sales, Lettings and Mortgages, we can boast of being the second branch in the ever expanding Choices network, so we have wealth of experience in the local market as well as benefiting from the back up of a dynamic go ahead company at the cutting edge of the property market. Now we know that this site contains a lot about the company’s philosophy and services so we thought to be different on our page we would tackle one of the most contentious questions that comes up in estate agency so here goes.
Why not choose a cut price agent to sell your home?
Estate agency is a service industry, would you use a cut price
- Hairdresser
- Chiropractor
- Dentist
- Doctor
- Builder
- Solicitor
- Accountant
The answer is probably that it depends what you want them to do but if its anything important then definitely no.
If you want to save money why not sell privately?
- Because you don’t have the time
- The expertise
- The resources
- The confidence to do it yourself
- Also if you advertise privately the only responses you will get are going to be from people who look at private ads
- These people will in the main be bargain hunters and the first thing they will do is deduct the agents fee from what they see as a fair offer
- So in the end all you do by selling privately is create a lot of work and stress for yourself and end up saving nothing, if not worse
The same thing applies to an extent when choosing an agent
- Cut price agents generally lack confidence in themselves
- They usually skimp on marketing and advertising
- They often lack the resources to give you feedback or follow up their buyers
- They often lack the skill to negotiate the best price for you
- They often use sole agency agreements with long lock in periods to make up for their inadequacies
The best agents always earn their fees with the service they provide, IE by increasing your chances of a trouble free sale at the highest achievable price. Remember the saying "there is no such thing as a free lunch" , well, choosing a cut price agent would be like expecting a free lunch, it would be a false economy, like buying cheap anything, the initial savings are soon swallowed up by the hidden costs of poor service and quality.
Our advice would be to take a minute and stop worrying what your Property is worth and starting thinking "what is your agent worth".
