Home sellers: You think you're making your own free choices when choosing an estate agent.

But the numbers say otherwise.

85% of you are choosing just 20% of agency brands.

You have no way of knowing this is happening to you, until now.

You are being harvested and processed by the highly effective 'lead generation' tactics of large companies who have decades of experience at hoovering up market share.

Roughly only 15% of estate agents that you meet will be honest individuals who act with integrity and fairly balance their needs to make a living with your needs as a customer.

You will ignore them if you come into contact with them, because they will be the only ones giving you honest opinions on the value of your home.

85% of you will punish them for their honesty by choosing the other overvaluing agents.

Then you'll say all agents are liars when your home doesn't sell for the over-optimistic price you hoped for.

You will forget that you met, then ignored an honest agent who told you the truth you didn't want to hear.

What you need to remember is that these honest agents ARE THE ONLY ONES you should be considering in this market.

Choose the agents who display the most personal integrity. They are the ones who won't abandon you in your hour of need when your chain is collapsing. They are the ones who won't let you down.

They are hard to find, but worth the effort.

Finally: remember that the market will decide what your home is worth. Not you, not your agent, but the highest price bid by competing, funded buyers, which a good agent will find you, even in this market.
