5 Signs It’s Time to Change Your Estate Agent

5 Signs It’s Time to Change Your Estate Agent

If you're feeling dissatisfied with your current estate agent, it might be time for a change. Here are five signs that it’s time to consider switching agents:

1. Poor Communication
If your agent isn’t responsive or keeps you in the dark about the selling process, it can lead to frustration. You deserve an agent who communicates regularly and clearly.

2. Lack of Marketing Strategy
If your agent isn't actively marketing your property or only using minimal methods, your home might be missing out on potential buyers. A strong marketing plan is essential for attracting interest.

3. Minimal Viewings
If your home has been on the market for a while with few or no viewings, it may be a sign that your agent isn't doing enough to generate interest.

4. Slow to Adapt
If your agent is unwilling to adjust pricing or marketing strategies based on feedback or changing market conditions, your home’s potential for sale may suffer.

5. Feeling Overlooked
If you feel like just another listing in your agent's portfolio and not a priority, it’s a clear sign to seek out someone who values your business and is motivated to sell your home.


Taking Action
If you notice these red flags, have an open conversation with your agent about your concerns. If things don’t improve, switching agents can often lead to a fresh start and a faster sale.
