Do Michael Yeo charge to visit my property to provide a sales appraisal?This service is entirely free. We will also, if required, offer advice relating to your particular plan together with ideas to best present your property and garden.
If the price is realistically set a buyer should be found within the first two months. It can take only a few days if a property is a type in demand. When a sale has been agreed, the average time to completion is six to eight weeks. In short, if a property is properly priced and all goes smoothly, the process can be contained within a six to twelve week time span from start to finish.
March to July. Sellers have months ahead of longer, warmer days – which obviously set the right scene. However, people’s plans often have no regard for seasons – we list and sell property in the Borehamwood area all year round.
Our fees are competitive in each and every case. We could not provide a high quality service if we were the cheapest but we are nowhere near the most expensive. Before you ask us to proceed, we’ll offer you a quotation based on the type and price of the property you wish to sell and the extent of the service we’ll provide
By making comparisons with the prices recently achieved for similar property types and by accounting for supply and demand. Location, condition and extra features all play a part, as do the timescale and needs and wishes of the seller.
No. But they don’t half help! They’re ‘on site’ advertising 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and we know many of our sales are encouraged by their presence.
It’s up to you. If you’d like us to do them, we’ll do them. Some sellers insist on doing them, others ask us to do them or to show buyers round when they’re not available. It shouldn’t make too much difference who does the viewings. In most cases, if the house fits the bill the buyer will buy it. But please, don’t do your own negotiating! That’s what you’re paying us for. We’ll have more information and, the chances are, we’ll do better.
On average two days. Yes TWO days (some agents take up to two weeks). Once instructed to proceed we don’t hang about. The only delay can be caused by the absence of blue sky for the photos. If you’re not in a rush, we’ll go at your speed. If you are – we’ll go at top speed!
Michael Yeo Estate Agents office is probably the most predominately positioned estate agents office in Borehamwood. The footfall here is very heavy and passersby cannot fail to see the fascinating and ever changing variety of property in our window displays.
We also have a strong Internet presence with our own website and also the market leaders Rightmove, Zoopla and Primelocation.
YES. We wouldn’t be without one – Buyers love them!
No. Many agents will expect you to sign an agreement ‘tying’ you in with them for periods of 12, 16 and 20 weeks or more. We want you to stay with us because you’re happy with our service, not because you’re locked into a long contract.
Because we believe Michael Yeo Estate Agents CARE more than any other agent and will go further than any other agent to serve your needs and achieve your objectives. We also believe our office to be the best placed in town and this, combined with being the longest established estate agents in the area and our attention to top class presentation and advertising, as well as our excellent reputation all of this will maximise your prospects of a sale.
