Don't be that person

Don't be that person

Don’t be that person.

I have never been shy of critique towards traditional estate agents; but this topic is around buyers. Personal time has never been more vital and this blog is about the buyers who don’t seem care to care about your time or ours…

When booking a viewing to see a property it’s not just a commitment to a flexible appointment. It is a commit to look at somebody’s home. With that commitment to view, the homeowner is also likely to spend a fair amount of effort getting their home ready for you. Hours of effort sometimes can be put into tidying and cleaning a property. On top of that, due to the current climate, that homeowner has to make arrangements to leave their property and go somewhere for the duration of the viewing.

For an estate agent like us, we will block out a diary and give up our personal and professional time for you the viewer.

So as the title of this blog says… DON’T BE THAT PERSON who cancels last minute like it means nothing. Things happen and we understand that. Just try to put yourself in the eyes of the homeowner before you do.

There are 649 households in Stevenage, aged between their early 50s and mid-60s, renting privately, not owning the Stevenage homes they live in. They're heading towards retirement age with no bricks and mortar, and the implications for them, their families, and Stevenage's social and economic infrastructure are vast.

Online valuations pull data from past sales but can’t assess your home’s upgrades, location, or buyer demand. That’s why they often mislead homeowners. For an accurate valuation and tips to maximise your sale price, a professional in-person assessment is key. Let's chat!

As Stevenage’s property market shifts and grows, sellers who've been on the market a while often face a tricky question: when to tweak the asking price—and by how much—to spark new interest.
