Questions to ask about your estate agent Moving home isn t something you do very often, so it s useful to have a good idea of what you expect of an estate agent. Your home is probably your most valuable asset so when you decide to sell it s vital to instruct an estate agent you trust. More people trust Jones Robinson to sell their property than any other estate agent in West Berkshire and North Hampshire. You may wish to consider the following questions: What is their local reputation and how long have they been in business? Do they appear to be able to objectively value a property accurately? What is their market share in your area? Look at their fall-out rate how many of their property sales failed to complete? How do they market your property to the appropriate buyers? What is their customer feedback and does it validate their service claims? Do they have any professional accreditations? How long have their staff been with them?
