Questions To Ask While Choosing An Estate Agent
26th March 2026- Blog
In today's property market with buyer demand growing, ask yourself the following 5 questions to ensure the best outcome for the sale of your home.
How successful is the agent at selling in your area?
Ask how many similar properties they’ve sold in your area and how their team supports the process. Smaller agents may not have the time or resources to make your home a priority, risking missed opportunities. At The Property Centre, our teams of highly experienced valuers and negotiators ensure your home gets the attention it deserves, to get you sold quickly and for the best possible price.
How do people rate their service?
Choosing the best agent for your home starts with trust. Checking reviews is the quickest way to see if they deliver on their promises. See what our clients say — check out our reviews on Google, or see our latest ESTAS reviews below.

Where do I begin?
The first thing to do is to find out what your home is worth. While online tools are great for giving a ballpark figure, nothing can beat an in-person expert valuation.
