Knight Frank around Harrogate
Date : 13 January 2012
In any competitive market place, there are many accepted industry norms with estate agency being no exception.
All agents produce sale brochures with photos and floor plans, albeit of vastly differing standards. Web site listing is mandatory on the likes of Rightmove and Primelocation, with advertising in local newspapers the traditional alternative usually supported by a high street shop window and colourful displays.
So how do potential sellers differentiate when deciding which
estate agent in Harrogate to entrust with the disposal of possibly their most valuable asset?
In an ever more sophisticated electronic world, would you not expect your agent to have a
property app for smart phones such as the iPhone? With many homebuyers, wherever they may be in the world, starting their search online, perhaps a
multilingual property search would help.
If nothing else, many are curious to see what a Harrogate town house looks like, presented in
Russian or
Chinese, that said we have yet to adopt a version in Yorkshire slang!
At the more traditional level, many buyers love to receive high specification sale brochures that are accurate and informative, complemented by exceptional professional photography. And, if you like browsing newspapers and periodicals, rather than online, adverts that stand out do generate specific enquiries and viewings. Talking of which, dedicated and knowledgeable viewing staff should be readily available seven days a week, not just during office hours.
And when it comes to the all important negotiation, does your Harrogate estate agent have the experience and ability to secure a good price, balanced by requisite knowledge of the market place to correctly advise you in an uncertain world?
These are just a few of our many attributes contributing to Knight Frank’s success in the Harrogate area and why we are passionately professional in everything we do.
