If you are fully satisfied the price is the best that can be obtained there is no need in my opinion to employ an estate agent. you should make extensive enquiries re recent sales. Please bear in mind you might be able to arrange a special fee with the estate agent.Honestly looking for opinions. I'm planning to sell now and buy another property. Just wondering what's the point in paying an estate agent?
You will need to be able to free yourself up for viewings etc so it is going to be timeconsuming and I assume you will incur costs if you post it on Daft or Myhome yourself
Maybe I'm too cynical, but I'd love to know the value that an EA can add to the sales process.
1. He can sift out the leg lifters/multi-viewers etc.
2. He can give you a real sale value on your house , not a, I heard Jimmy got X 000,s ,so I must get X 000,s.
3. With fee agreed ,you have passed sale process and all its narking over to him/her.
4. He /she knows how to sort out or deal with slippy customers.
I'm not sure what is meant by this comment. I have previously advertised several times on daft.ie for house rentals which is very often used by estate agents (the cost was approx €47 a pop) and never had a problem. Just checked and daft.ie charges €299 for a standard house sale advert.And isn't myhome.ie just for estate agents and you won't be able to advertise as a private sale

From my recollection, estate agents used to charge approx 1.5% of the sale price - that's a whopping €3,750 for a €250,000 house! At this stage, I am more concerned about the house appearance during a viewing and reckon that the money might be more constructively used in house redecoration/ leasing of furniture etc.
