⚠️ 6 VERY GOOD REASONS NOT TO USE NEXT LEVEL PROPERTY ⚠️
I’ve been reading through some of my latest ESTAS reviews and, frankly, I think potential sellers deserve to know what they could be letting themselves in for.
So, in the interests of complete transparency, here are a few reasons why Next Level Property might NOT be the estate agent for you…
❌ You prefer not knowing what's going on.
Apparently I have an irritating habit of keeping sellers informed throughout the whole process.
If you enjoy spending three days wondering whether anyone has spoken to your buyer, solicitor or mortgage adviser, this could become frustrating.
❌ You'd rather your estate agent just put the house online and hope for the best.
One recent seller rather inconveniently said I was “very influential in the sale of our property.”
Another said I “helped us find the right buyer.”
I'm going to have to work on that.
❌ Too much experience can be a nuisance.
I've now spent nearly 30 years selling property, which means I've developed an unfortunate tendency to spot problems, understand the market and know how to keep a sale moving when things get complicated.
One seller even complained that my “immense knowledge and experience” got them through the important stages of the conveyancing process.
Terrible behaviour from an estate agent.
❌ You don't want your estate agent getting too involved.
Viewings, negotiations, chasing the sale, sorting keys, helping with problems…
Apparently I'm supposed to be involved in ALL of it.
I've even been accused of going “out of his way to assist” a seller who was living outside the UK.
Clearly I need to learn the phrase: “Sorry, that's not my department.”
❌ You enjoy selling your home being as stressful as possible.
This one keeps cropping up.
“Easy and straightforward.”
“Made selling our house as easy as possible.”
“Quick and straightforward.”
I can only apologise.
And finally…
❌ There's a danger you might actually want to use me again.
One seller said:
“We would definitely use his services again.”
Another:
“Wouldn't hesitate to use his services again.”
And possibly my favourite recent review came from a seller who said they only wished the house they were BUYING had been sold through me too, so I could have handled that side as well. 😂
So there you have it.
If you're looking for a big corporate estate agency, enjoy speaking to a different person every time you call, don't particularly want to know what's happening and would prefer your agent's involvement to end once the SOLD board goes up…
I'm probably not your man.
But if you'd like one experienced estate agent personally handling your sale from valuation right through to handing over the keys, we should probably have a chat.
