Is Your Property Getting the Attention It Deserves?
When you put your property on the market, you expect your estate agent to pull out all the stops to generate interest and secure a great sale. But what if that’s not happening?
When you put your property on the market, you expect your estate agent to pull out all the stops to generate interest and secure a great sale. But what if that’s not happening?
If your home has been listed for weeks—or even months—without strong interest, viewings, or offers, it might be time to ask a difficult but important question: Is your property getting the attention it deserves?
Here are some key signs that your current agent may not be doing enough to attract the right buyers:
1. Lack of Professional Marketing Materials
First impressions matter. If your property listing is filled with dark, blurry, or poorly framed photos, you're losing potential buyers before they even book a viewing. High-quality photography, well-written descriptions, video tours, and floorplans should be standard—not extras. If your agent hasn’t invested in these basics, they may not be serious about showcasing your home in the best possible light.
2. Minimal Online Exposure
The vast majority of buyers begin their property search online. Is your listing featured on the major property portals? Is it easy to find through search engines or social media? If your agent hasn’t implemented a strong digital strategy—including paid advertising, social media promotion, or targeted email campaigns—your property could be sitting in the shadows while others are getting all the clicks.
3. Lack of Regular Communication
You shouldn’t be left in the dark once your property hits the market. A proactive agent will provide regular updates, feedback from viewings, and market insights to keep you informed and reassured. If you’re chasing updates or hearing nothing for weeks, it’s a red flag.
4. Low Number of Viewings
If your property has been live for more than a couple of weeks and the viewings are few and far between, that’s a clear indicator that something’s off—whether it’s pricing, presentation, or how the property is being marketed. A good agent will identify the problem early and act fast to adjust the strategy.
5. No Clear Strategy or Plan
Every home is unique, and your marketing plan should reflect that. If your agent simply listed the property and is now sitting back waiting for enquiries, they’re not doing enough. You deserve an agent who brings a tailored plan to the table—one that evolves based on results and market trends.
6. Poor Negotiation or Follow-Up
Attracting interest is only half the battle. A skilled agent should be chasing up leads, following through with viewers, and negotiating effectively when offers come in. If you feel like your agent is more of a passive bystander than an advocate, you may be missing out on better deals.
Time to Reassess?
If you recognise any of these signs, it may be time to have an honest conversation with your current agent—or explore other options. Your property deserves maximum exposure, consistent effort, and a results-driven approach.
