Here’s What I’d Say to Your Agent (If I Wasn’t Too Polite)
You might be Googling things like:
• “What should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?”
• “House on Rightmove but no viewings”
• “How do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?”
And here’s what I’d say to your agent, the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.
You’ve been on the market for weeks. Maybe months.
The board’s still up. The listing’s still live. But the excitement? Long gone.
If the only “strategy” you’ve seen since launch is a few sporadic portal updates and the odd email (with some benign feedback or the suggestion of a price reduction), then let’s be honest: your sale is stuck.
And you’re probably wondering what your agent is doing behind the scenes (if anything at all).
Sound Familiar?
You might be Googling things like:
- “What should my estate agent be doing to sell my house?”
- “House on Rightmove but no viewings”
- “How do I change estate agents if I’m not happy?”
If so, you’re definitely not the only one in this position.
And here’s what I’d say to your agent – the things I know sellers are thinking but don’t always say out loud.
✅ “Why is my home just sitting there on the portals?”
If the only place your home is being seen is Rightmove and Zoopla, that’s a red flag.
I cannot impress enough how those platforms are just tools, not a fully comprehensive marketing strategy.
If your agent hasn’t taken your home onto social media, built audience-specific campaigns, or actively promoted it through their network, then they’re just hoping someone eventually stumbles across it. That’s not good enough.
✅ “What’s the actual plan to get this moving?”
There should be a timeline.
There should be touchpoints.
There should be energy.
And without a doubt, it needs to be communicated!
If you’ve received little to no contact in weeks and the updates only materialise when you chase, the agent isn’t driving your sale. They’re waiting.
✅ “Why haven’t I had any serious offers?”
Let’s be real, if you’re getting viewings but no offers, there’s a disconnect.
If you’re not getting viewings at all, there’s an even bigger issue.
Your price, your marketing, or your buyer targeting is off, and if your agent hasn’t broken that down with you clearly, they’re not problem-solving. They’re coasting.
✅ “Where’s the marketing push?”
Your home deserves more than a lazy listing. You need:
- A defined buyer persona
- Eye-catching social marketing
- Lifestyle-led copywriting
- Photography that feels aspirational, not just functional
- Your input as to why it is such a fantastic place to live, as the one who has been there for this long
If none of this has been part of the conversation, then you’re missing the tools that get results.
What I’d Be Doing Differently
As your local avocado property partner in Bicester, I’m here to do more than list. I’m here to sell.
That means:
- Reviewing your listing with fresh eyes and total honesty
- Building a bespoke marketing push, including social, video, and targeted campaigns
- Qualifying every viewer and gathering meaningful feedback
- Keeping you in the loop with weekly updates and real strategy discussions
- And, most of all, treating your sale like it matters, because it does
You shouldn’t be left wondering what’s happening with your biggest asset.
Let’s stop sitting on the portals and start creating momentum again.
I’d be happy to show you exactly what I’d do differently – no obligation, just clarity.
Let's chat...
