We are planning on putting our house up for sale in the near future. We had it valued a few days ago and the agent (from one of the well-known companies) outlined the fees (percentage of sale price and admin fees). Taking everything into account, the cost seems huge. I'm just wondering if anyone has ever used an online agent or one of the less 'traditional' ones (not sure if I'm allowed to name names?). I have done a bit of research and see a massive difference in costs, but does this come with pitfalls?

Picking a cheaper or online EA might signal to the market that you don't want a sale.
1.5% isn't expensive if they can get you 2% more than the other guy.
I sold my in-laws' house with a top name brand and I really couldn't fault the marketing and how they dealt with bidders. It sold 15% over what I thought was a fair asking price.
How much were you quoted ?
Why does it cost €7,500+vat to sell a 3 bed semi d in ballinteer and €4,500 to sell a 3 bed semi d in Clondalkin?
Having experience with a 1599 euro all in agent, I couldn't fault them.
Having experience with a 1599 euro all in agent, I couldn't fault them. Professional photographer, ads on daft and myhome, feedback logged for every viewing. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would not go with them. A house will only sell for whatever people are prepared to pay. An agent was useful in pre internet days to attract viewers. Now, not so much. The idea that one agent can get more money than another is rubbish. The buyer dictates the price. Also these guys used to be part of an established agent but have set up on their own so they know what they're doing... Save yourself thousands.
I'm just nervous about having to do the viewings ourselves!
