Hi Paul5,
Thanks for the advice. I suppose my concern is that some estate agents have a reputation of pushing for a quick sale whereas we are happy to hold out for our price. If the estate agent puts it on the market at well below the price we wish to achieve, it may be difficult to reach that amount.
I think we are pretty much decided that we will pick the more expensive REA. Not just because he thinks he will fetch a higher price but also because his approach was far more professional than any of the others we have spoken too.
