Never underestimate the power of the internet when selling a property, says local estate agency Shipways  Estate Agents in Hagley. Having your property featured on the most popular and powerful property search websites is key to selling your property; especially given that 95% of all home movers start their property search online (YouGov, January 2014). 

 

“We understand that the best on-line exposure for your property gives us the greatest chance of achieving the best possible price,” says Simon White, Branch Manager at Shipways Estate Agents. “We advise sellers to look at which web portals estate agents will present their property on and instruct an agency that can put their property in front of the most potential buyers.”

 

Research shows that the two dominant property search portals are Rightmove and Zoopla* and unless properties are featured on both of these websites then sellers could be missing out on exposing their properties to a third of buyers looking online.  Losing a third of your potential buyers could have the potential of not maximising the value of your property and therefore sellers should strongly consider using an estate agent that uses both of the two dominant property portals. Shipways Estate Agents places properties on both of these key sites as well as its own website.
