Selling Your House

  
I want to advertise my house with lots of different agents. Can I do this?

Advertising with lots of agents can sound like a good idea – ensures that you get lots of extra viewings – But need to be careful about your agreement - many agents will try and get you to sign a sole agency agreement – means that, for a certain period, you have to pay their commission regardless of who sells the house – effectively prevents you from advertising with other agents without paying more.

 

As long as you are careful about the agreements then this can be a good way to sell your house quickly.
