Selling your house is one of the most stressful things for a home owner, second only to giving birth, if you’re a woman of course.
If you don’t want to read the introduction below(although I would recommend it a quick read) you can jump straight to my Step by Step guide to selling your house online: http://sellhouseonline.co.uk/how-to/step-by-step-guide-to-sell-your-house-yourself/
With the advent of internet and now a connected world, selling your house has become a lot easier and cheaper.
Previously the only way to sell your house was to walk into the office of an estate agent and invite him/her to your home to have a look, with that prospect you would hand over everything you had put into your home over to an individual who you have only met for a few minutes, you might speak to different estate agents before you decide, but most people never bothered.
Now, however, before you even decide that you want to sell your house online, the first thing you are going to do is visit Rightmove or Zoopla and actually see what people are actually selling their houses for in your area.
This little bit of information is enough to give you a whole lot of insight, you can decide if it is actually a good time to sell or wait longer, you can estimate the sale price you might be able to achieve taking into account the specification of other houses on the market and also can look at your next potential home in a matter of minutes.
Even with creation of online property portals such as Zoopla and Rightmove, where most home buyers now begin their property search, you needed an estate agent to actually get you onto these online portals, a service which came with a lot unnecessary baggage and a hefty commission based price tag.
Online Estate Agent
All that has changed very recently, all you need to do now is choose an online estate agent, who won’t stick a poster outside their shop window but will certainly advertise your property on Zoopla, Rightmove, Primelocation and many other online property websites which collective attract millions of home buyers every year if not every month, all this for a literally a fraction of what you can be charged by a standard high street agent.
There are generally two packages to choose from, one is where the online estate agent will advertise your property and upon sale will charge you a small commission of 1% or a fixed fee of £999, still a lot lower than any high street agent, the second package is to pay upfront and no commission on sale, this is where there are huge savings to be made, as you can pay from as little as £375 or up to £799 depending on which online estate agent you use.
