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?
