Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from estate agents in Colchester every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Sellers instructing a competitor agent
Homeowners research agents online before calling. The one with the best online presence wins the instruction.
Valuation requests going to the agent with the best Google presence
Homeowners typically invite 2-3 agents to value. The ones they find on Google first get on the shortlist. If you're not visible, you're not invited.
Your website doesn't compete with Rightmove
Your website should showcase local expertise and sold properties. If it doesn't, sellers question your credibility.
No sold property showcase on your website
Sellers want proof you can sell their type of property in their area. Without a sold gallery, they can't see your track record.
