9 Key Questions to ask on a property valuation
Here at avocado we have a mission to improve the industry, and as a result we are going to share some awesome questions to ask estate agents when they're sat in your house. Make them work for the business… (Or just use avocado and life will be much easier).
Here are the questions:
- Is that a marketing price or an achievable price you valued my property at?
- What is your marketing plan to show my home to the right target buyers?
- Who will be conducting the viewings in your team and how experienced are they?
- Who will I/we be dealing with directly throughout the whole process?
- What do you think is the most likely reason the house won’t sell?
- What is the plan if the property doesn’t sell?
- What is the most likely type of buyer to offer on my house?
And because we're here to help, here are two bonus questions that we'd recommend getting the answers to as well:
- What do I need to have and/or do before the house goes on the market?
- Who do I need to get quotes from to help with the move?
Reminder: If you wouldn’t trust this agent to hold a key and show people round your property while you’re out; then don’t use them.
