Why would you have to do this? It's either worth X amount or it's not, regardless of what price the agent or you advertise it for.CCOVICH said:For me, I don't mind paying someone to field and screen calls, show the place, provide ad erect a sign, deal with offers and describe it in more glowing terms than I ever could. The fact that you can't access Myhome.ie without an estate agent is also a factor.
We had considered going it alone and using DAFT (a recent thread suggested that people have been successful in selling in a quick period going this route), we didn't mind paying for the 'convenience' of using an estate agent. Also, if we had sold it ourself, it looks like we would have put it up for sale at a substantial discount compared to the asking price several agents have given.
Each to their own I guess.
Prices do seem to vary quite a bit depending on where you are selling.
(BTW-I am not an estate agent, and have no connection to estate agents through either family or friends).

I agree with CCOVICH (despite Campbell's antics on sunday!), it would appear to be more hassle going it alone, and at least with an agent, they should have a bit of experience. If they can get another few grand, sure that pays them anyway. 1% seems too high, the closer to 0.5% you can get the better.For me, I don't mind paying someone to field and screen calls, show the place, provide ad erect a sign, deal with offers and describe it in more glowing terms than I ever could.

Yeah, it certainly makes sense, but estate agents have it too handy, i may be selling shortly myself, and i'll definitely be proposing something along these lines - i can see him telling me where to go - but sure, there's plenty of agencies about!!golden mean said:anastasia makes a good point about negotiating a sliding scale for the EA's commission. I tried this myself when I was selling and the EA rolled his eyes at me, but I still think there is something in it.
