Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from estate agents in Sunderland every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Online agents eating into your local market
Purplebricks and other online agents are competing for your sellers. A strong local digital presence shows why a local agent is worth it.
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 agency doesn't dominate local search
Sellers search for local estate agents on Google Maps. If you're not in the top three, they invite someone else.
Sellers instructing a competitor agent
Homeowners research agents online before calling. The one with the best online presence wins the instruction.
